Details are only now emerging about the strike on Damadola, a village near the Afghan-Pakistan border hit twice in the past.

LOL
Who's there?

Kill more islamists.
Bush’s Fault!
We’re killing top Al Qaeda leaders so fast that the survivors aren’t even bothering with their normal “We’ll extract revenge for our loss” spiel.
Nice!
Osama bin Laden hasn’t had a decent night’s sleep in years. Life is good.
"If you harbor terrorists, we will treat you like a terrorist." President George Bush.
I hope we kill every last one of them.

Can’t be true. We have forgotten all about Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and and Pakistan because of Iraq.
maybe it’s just metaphysical timing, but I just happen to be watching the DVD of that movie the moment I browsed onto this thread and saw your spiderpig post.....
Candygram!
Sure is a good thing that Bush, Hayden and the CIA aren’t listening to Obama who keeps telling everybody that we are too busy losing in Iraq to defeat Al Qaeda like he would do it he were King.
