U.S. forces found, targeted and killed in a Somali desert city the senior al Qaeda operative who masterminded the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa and had since spent a decade in hiding, The Washington Times has learned.

Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, who is one of the FBI's most-wanted terrorists, was the target of a U.S. missile strike on a residence in Dobley, a small town in southern Somalia near the Kenyan border, according to a U.S. military official who spoke to The Times on the condition of anonymity because of the nature of the operation.

Ol' "Handsome Saleh" isn't so handsome, anymore.

Probably looks more like French saleh'd dressing.

OTOH, I seem to have intercepted a Television Free Somalia report:

"Do not believe all the Infidel pigs and apes say! Despite lying reports of his martyrdom, urgent rescue operations are underway...".

Yes indeedy I want someone more like Patton than say Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

The Road Map to Peace begins with a Massive Ordnance Penetrator used as an enema for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Obama sends Brzezinski for tea with Assad. Hillary would cozy with Arafat and Suha. McCain will be asking Hugo Chavez if he'd like a pillow and some biscuits for his parrot.

I, why, I would be ushering Reid and Pelosi into the Yuri I. Nosenko Honeymoon Suite for the duration.

Honored guests, please note the compact fluorescent in the ceiling as it is all you'll see for the next 1400 days.

Good work for our team. Now, would someone please explain to me why the Saudi Royalty is not the next target? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

Because the Saudi royalty really doesn't control the terrorists. The whole monarchy is a house of cards waiting to fall.

I guess a picture of hamburger in a meat grinder was too much for somebody.

I was going to post this from BNO.” Wanted terrorist Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan was killed in the Somalia helicopter raid by U.S. forces, U.S. officials tell Fox News.9/14/09

But I found this while I was searching.

This guy seems to get taken out quite a bit.
