#10 Woohoo! Caught with his pants down.

Now to be cynical. Baitullah Mehsud was much more a thorn in Pakistan's side than ours. Funny how Paki intel doesn't have a problem locating those it wants dead, but can't seem to find those committing terrorist war on Pakistan's behalf.

I believe the Pakis will try to pick up the TTP pieces and reorient them into Afghanistan. So in total, it would have been better for us if that drone had a convenient navigation malfunction and rocketed the ISI HQ.
