That's crazy! I wish we could do that in every country where there are people we want to kill, just launch a big missle at them. :D

sure they didn't just blow up a "pharmaceuticals" plant?

(does anyone else realize that a pharmaceuticals plant is the best cover ever for a chemical weapons plant, or are they just idiots that can't see anything but their own superficiality in their mirrors)

Quotes like this make me laugh!

Walid Al-Saqqaf, managing editor of the Yemen Times, told CNN that Ali was identified as the one in the vehicle by a mark on his leg, which was blown off in the blast and was found near the scene.

I can see it now...... Look Ahib, (or any common Eastern name) lookie what I found, A LEG!

If the US was involved they probably had Mossad carry out the actual operation.

Do you know how rediculous that sounds or are you a complete moron? Just like in afgahnistan they had a drone out there with hellfires that spotted him and put a hellfire into the car. We don't need Israel to show us how to fire the weapons we built.

Not if it was a Hellfire missle fired from a Predator... which the article said it was.

Good, I hope we continue to see this kind of pest control happening. What we really need is a roach motel. Set up a so-called safe haven for these scum and then when enough of them gather, they check in but nobody checks out.

Did you see the pic of where the car used to be? There was a huge scorch mark and a couple hunks or metal that would easily fit under my desk. I must say i like the idea of overkill (using an antitank missle) on these guys

It is pretty damn cool. I'm not sure about this but I heard that missles launched from drones violated some sort of treaty or something. Anybody know anything about this or did I just completely misunderstand?

I have no doubt there is some country in Europe complaining about that right now.

First thing I thought. I was like: Where the hell is the car? I see parts of it... Then I saw they used a hellfire. If it can take out a Main Battle Tank, I don't think it is going to have any problems with sheetmetal.

Another thought: Where is the road they were on?

Good. Blast a few more of them..but say nothing. Now all the touchy/feely demLibs will want to have a pity party and cry on each others shoulder and blubber about rights and hearings and appeals and lack there of.
