NATO airstrike kills 15 insurgents in E. Afghanistan
2010-10-02
(Xinhua) -- An Arclight airstrike launched by the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) waxed 15 beturbanned goons in the Tsowkey district of Afghanistan's eastern Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Binny's house in Chitral...
Friday.
Somebody certainly is in a mood lately. That makes...(carry the three plus seventeen to the third power.. oh dear, I misplaced the decimal point somewhere along the way) an awful lot of dead bad guys. They'll be running out of candidates for Number Three pretty soon at this rate, you know, and then what'll they do? One simply can't run an organization without Number Threes to run the departments, you know.
A blurb issued by the ISAF said the beturbanned goons were attempting to set up an attack position in the district while being struck by an ISAF air weapons team.
Next week they'll have become a wedding party, of course...
Did you see the bride's gown? Simply stunning! It didn't go well with her beard and Adam's apple, though.
Initial reports indicate all rounds were on target, and there were no injuries to bystanders, innocent or otherwise, in the area, said the blurb.

#3  Had to cash a check in Louisiana to get back to Colorado last week, so we visited Barksdale AFB. Barksdale is home to a wing of B-52H aircraft. Had one pass about 500 feet over our heads as we neared the base. STILL love that A/C. Would love to see the entire wing at Barksdale make a round trip to Rawalpindi/Islamabad armed with tons of weapons on the flight out, and return empty. Just to show Pakistan we can do it.

#1  all rounds were on target

Giving Chinese journalism too much credit, but 'all' and 'rounds' makes me think artillery rather than bombs, missiles, or machined guns. Spectre?
