Drones are also loitering around the
Pirates areas.
One Hellfire directed at one of those small craft wouldn't leave much to investigate.

How many innocent women and children did the war-monger in the White House kill? ...Obamah has blood on his hands!
Wait! ...it's 2009, wrong script.
Tough as nails, Nobel Peace Price winner Obamah takes action to save American soldiers lives, collateral damage minimum'.

“collateral damage minimum”
WTF? “minimum”? I would imagine that the Ascended one would never permit such inaccuracies! Is it possible that even in His exalted state He is not perfect? I'm going to have to rethink the whole thing... again.

Earlier, it was reported that nearly 14 persons were killed... So what was the number 13.4, 13.7, or what?

I had the same reaction as you had. How does one have “nearly” 14 persons killed?

Unconfirmed reports from the area said that 11 foreign nationals were also among the dead. Sounds like the targeting was "spot on".

It may have been troublesome figuring out how many arms, legs and heads they had to go with the bodies?
