Militants retrieved and buried on Wednesday the bodies of 12 foreigners

How are we going to find out who they were?

I guess we blew the chance for a second strike. I have often felt that funerals would make good target-rich environments.

He said that unmanned air vehicles had hovered over the area on Wednesday.

You can tell alot if you know who attended the burial. Think of this as a mafia funeral and the FBI taking pictures of who comes and goes....same thing. I would guess this site has been watched in real time since the missile struck...

I have always wondered why there isn’t another strike about 30 minutes after the first strike to get all the sympathizers?

Not armed. And you wouldn’d see or hear that aircraft. It’s mission altitude is over 20,000 feet.

The only armed, acknowledged, UAV is a Predator.

Maybe it was a Reaper, the more heavily armed variant of the Predator. I wonder if any are in service yet? Anyone know?

Are you counting the Reaper as a Predator?

Hopefully, we shall hear many many similar reports coming out of the border areas between A and P.
