“... a suspected militant leader,...”

You would think that a little more than “suspected” might be required before you bomb the sh!t out of one to many people!

If they are killed under Obama, they are affiliated with al Quaeda. If they kill us, they are locals upset about videos.

I hope God forgives me for saying so, but there’s not much in Somalia, aside from some innocent children, that shouldn’t be blown to Sht.

Guess why the USA is hated so much abroad?

Who was the target, why was military attack taken, and who picks the seemingly random rocket targets?

Somebody has a job to go to every day in DC, where they decide who gets rocketed off their camel that day.

Shhhh! “Suspected “ is CIA code for “known” but they don’t want anybody to know it.

Now that we’ve settled that, I’m more interested in the IRS list. We might get a drone strike right up our asses since the IRS seems to think that we are the enemy.

You ended that with a question mark, so the answer is No. Have you ever seen a camel after a cruise missile goes up it's rear end ?

pirates and AQ and gunrunners to Gaza are there, and probably also being shadowed by the Israelis.
