They included a suspect in the al-Qaida linked attack two years ago on the U.S. warship in a Yemeni port.

"Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? ...< snip>... deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall! "
And we'll do it with a Hellfire missile, courtesy of the Great Satan. :-)
If we can't get the Islamofascists to like us, then at least we can get them to fear us. They need to have the hesitation born of fear expressed in this classic line from the movie "The Usual Suspects": "How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?"
At least he should get a free replay on the Predator video game control console :o)
Non-creative Example: Remember the Cole!
Not to mention PRICELESS American lives, as well as about $35 million in reward money. Yep, Uncle Sam can afford it, and I as an American taxpayer, am happy to help pay for it.
Kill the Jihadikazi scum! Kill them all!!
A letter to the editor says that it was a durn shame about the trees.
MSNBC forgot to include the part where they said they didn't give an airborne fornication at a rolling doughnut about the WHY part :o)
From your lips to God's ear, we need the momentum :o)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A missile fired by an unmanned CIA drone hit a car believed to be carrying suspected al Qaeda members in Yemen Sunday and killed several occupants, a U.S. official said Monday. The official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters the American military was not involved in the attack, which reports from Sanaa said killed six alleged al Qaeda members, including a key suspect in a bombing attack on the U.S. warship Cole in Aden two years ago. "As I understand it, it was an agency drone" that conducted the weekend strike, said the U.S. official, who did not provide any details. The Defense Department and CIA refused to comment on the incident, but Yemen's news agency reported in Sanaa that a car explosion had killed six alleged members of al Qaeda. The radical Muslin group led by fugitive Osama bin Laden is blamed by Washington for the devastating attacks on America in September of last year. |

RQ-1 PREDATOR® HELLFIRE MISSILE TESTS TOTALLY SUCCESSFUL [21 Feb 01]
Capping a three-part series of demonstration flight tests on Feb. 21, Predator successfully aimed and launched a live Hellfire-C, laser-guided missile that struck an unmanned, stationary Army tank on the ground at Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Airfield near Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., said Major Ray Pry, Predator program manager, Big Safari Program Office at ASCs Reconnaissance Aircraft System Program Office (SPO).
This first recorded missile launch from a UAV took place on Feb. 16 at approximately 11:05 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), he said. Equipped with a single, inert Hellfire-C missile, the Predator, using its LOS communication band and infrared Kosovo laser-ball, aimed and struck the tank-turret about six inches to the right of dead-center, spinning the turret around about 30 degrees. It made a big, gray dent in the turret just beautiful.
Memo to Major Pry: Your weapon system also works just fine on terrorist vehicles.
