#1 why not have a second drone waiting for the trucks of talibunnies too come in, change up the strategy just a little bit every once in awhile

#2 The idea has merit. I like your thinking, RW. That's a page right outta the al-Q playbook.

#3 I believe the key is to bait them like deer. Leave some CDs lying around, a couple of Bollywood films, an AK47 or an Angora she goat.

#5 Follow-on should be a wide-area weapon. I suggest cluster munitions.

#6 cluster would just give HRW something too bitch about especially when the taliban or al-q had the kiddies out picking up the unexploded munitions

#7 Lawn darts? It'll give the talikiddies toys to play with too.

#8 Follow it by an ARCLIGHT strike. They'll NEVER rush to another drone attack, ever. Kinda hard on the neighbors, but that's what happens when you let the local hoods move in.
