| US drones fly over North Waziristan |
| 2008-10-13 |
| United States pilotless spy planes on Sunday flew over North Waziristan just hours after a missile strike killed at least four people, residents said. Two missiles from suspected US drones struck a compound just outside Miranshah. The targeted compound was the residence of Taliban Omar Daraz, a security official said. Residents said they could see three drones overhead as they sifted through the remains of the destroyed compound searching for further casualties. |

| #6 Need to get something from Rutan that flies at 80,000 feet, but big enough to be seen from the ground. Let the talibunnies and the rest of the gun-sex-crazed fools shoot at it all day. Paint the drone in shades of day-glow orange, fluorescent yellow, and deep purple, so there's no way to miss it. Let it make lazy circles over Peshawar, the entire tribal areas, even a pass over Rawalpindi/Islamabad now and then. In a month they'll either quit looking for drones, or be so muddle-headed it won't matter. |

| #4 US drones fly over North Waziristan Not to be confused with the aged model drones that fly in and around the Capital in Washington. However, both are known to be dangerous to citizens of either country, particularly when they're observed to focus and hover over |

| #1 We should release clear helium balloons with amps and speakers ballasted to ride at the same height as one of the predators and play an engine sound over and over until the battery wears down - then pop. |
