| PESHAWAR, Pakistan: A US drone Saturday fired four missiles into a compound used by Islamist fighters in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt, killing at least 11 militants, security officials said. The missiles targeted the compound in Dwasarak village, about 40 kilometres west of Wana, the main town in South Waziristan district, a senior Pakistani security official who wished to remain anonymous told AFP. "Two US drones fired four missiles, 11 militants have been killed in this attack," he said. Two intelligence officials, one in Wana and one based in Peshawar, also confirmed the attack. South Waziristan, considered a militant stronghold, was the scene of a major Pakistani offensive last year. |

| #5 Jousting at hornets nests with toothpics. Technologically impressive when you skewer one on video. During the jousting however, new larvae were hatching by the thousands. |

| #3 The CIA (mostly) is fighting an undeclared war in a foreign country and no one bats an eyelid. Where are all the looney left peace protestors, the earnest but clueless liberals going on about it being 'illegal', the endless negative media coverage? It's like these missiles magically appear from the skies as somekind of natural event beyond everyones control like lightning or meteorites. |
