This, of course, was nice work. However, I believe the best use of a Hellfire missile to date belongs to Israel. When they used one on Yassin's "armored" wheelchair, I marvelled at their boldness and initiative.
See ya! Wouldn't want to be ya!!!

The Predator monitored the three terrorists for about a half hour while they used a pick ax to dig a hole in the road I love it. Let them work there a$$ off, then kill them.

Anyone interested in seeing what a Hellfire does to an individual can follow the link. These are pictures of Yassin's remains after Israeli forces used a few on him. The pics are a bit graphic, so I won't post them in a public forum. I especially love the one with the dog. Looks like he may have picked up a few scraps in the ordeal.
Yassin vs Hellfire

Hellfire in this life. Hellfire in the next.
Seems appropriate.

I love it. Let them work there a$$ off, then kill them. Agreed. The guys were getting a good laugh allowing / watching them work knowing the end that was coming.

I understand the Democrats in Congress want to get rid of the UAV's because they infringe on a terrorists right to privacy.

An MQ-1B Predator unmanned aerial vehicle engaged three insurgents in the process of planting a homemade bomb along a road near Balad Air Base, Iraq, yesterday evening and launched an AGM-114 Hellfire missile against the group. The Predator monitored the three terrorists for about a half hour while they used a pick ax to dig a hole in the road, placed an explosive round in the hole, and strung wires from the hole to a ditch on the side of the road. When it was clear the individuals were placing a bomb, the Predator launched the 100-pound Hellfire missile, killing all three insurgents.
