Tell that to Khaled Meshaal
The Israelis have screwed up plenty of times.
The Meshaal operation was one of the biggest screw ups in history, and is largely responsible for the existence and strength of Hamas in its current form.
They’ve missed guys a bunch of times.

My sentiments exactly. I had to replay the “breaking news” to see if I’d missed something.

Raytheon's Griffin, a tube-launched, laser-guided
mini-missile reportedly carried by Predators.
Raytheon's Griffin missile makes quiet gains with US military
08/09/10
The US Air Force plans to launch production of a new Raytheon missile to equip its weaponised unmanned air vehicles with a precision-guided projectile featuring a smaller but still potent blast radius.
Although less than one-third the size of Lockheed Martin's AGM-114 Hellfire, the Griffin is among of a new class of miniature, precision-guided weapons rising in demand during an era when aerial strikes on insurgents carries the risk of killing innocent civilians.

There's your problem. Our enemies employ tactics to kill as many as they can, hopefully innocent bystanders. We however employ the touchy feely kinder gentler approach. God forbid if we kill his driver, we just want to take out the one guy sitting in the rear passenger side seat.

Wiki says 25mm Gatling gun, although that may be out of date.
To: steve8714; Flag_This; Pan_Yan
USMC Harriers are not always armed with guns.
But when they are armed with a gun, Harriers have a General Electric GAU-12/U 25mm gun pod on the port side.
There is a fairing on the starboard side that holds 300 rounds of ammo.
