Targets survive US missile in N Waziristan
[Pak Daily Times] The targets of a suspected US missile strike in Pakistain's northwestern terrorist strongholds appeared to have survived on Sunday by quickly abandoning their vehicle after an unmanned aircraft missed its first shot, local officials said.

It was one of the few reports of anyone surviving one of the escalating barrages of missiles fired by remotely piloted aircrafts, which have become a key weapon in the wider US-led war against bully boyz in Afghanistan.

A local news channel initially reported four people killed in the latest US attack in North Wazoo, where the Taliban and al Qaeda-allied fighters control safe havens outside the central government's control.

However,
The infamous However...
two Pak intelligence officials who were investigating the incident told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that no bodies were found and all their sources indicated the occupants of the car survived the attack near Hassan Khel village.

They said a US drone fired one of its missiles, but missed the speeding vehicle, and its occupants quickly bailed out before the second missile hit and destroyed it. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak on record.

Sunday's missile strike was the 13th this month. The US has sharply ramped up its unacknowledged search-and-destroy programme this year, launching more than 110 this year in hopes of killing terrorists' leaders who run terrorist training camps and plot attacks on US and NATO troops across the border in Afghanistan.

#1 In the mean time:

They are over here doing their best to blow up Christmas Lighting Ceremonies and enjoying the full support of every single liberal NYC Official in building a 9/11 Victory Mosque at Ground Zero. I am sure all liberals in Oregon will also succumb to the Stockholm Syndrome and submit to Islam as well.

Practise aiming so you don't miss the important shot.

#5 Use napalm, not Hellfires. Even if they escape (which isn't likely), they'll have memories "seared, seared" into their brains that will keep them awake at night.
