The remotely piloted aircraft targeted a residential compound used by cut-throats in Miranshah ... headquarters of al-Qaeda in Pakistain and likely location of Ayman al-Zawahiri. The Haqqani network has established a ministatein centered on the town with courts, tax offices and lots of madrassas... , a Pakistain Taliban capo said. "The four dead are local Talibs," an intelligence official told Rooters. "Two missiles hit a house and four hard boyz were killed," a security official told AFP. "The attack took place at about 3:00am." Witnesses said the attack triggered a fire, which destroyed the building.

#4 I would totally stop confirming drone hits. I would keep putting a story that Taliban munitions mishandling blew it up. Oh and I'd make sure we weren't THAT careful about "civilians" nearby. pour encourager les autres |

#3 Hard to believe it myself, but I actually agree with Obama? |

#2 Obama's desperate to disengage. Can't do that with ramped up Taliban activity, so he's become more aggressive with the zaps, I would guess. |

#1 Our dronezaps are generally on rural compounds or vehicles on open roads; this seems to have been in the heart of town, where the risk of collateral damage is a lot higher. Did we have a high-value target or have all the targets moved to human-shielded locations now? |
