| 17 Drone-zapped in North Wazoo, 17! |

| The US killed 17 suspected "militants" in a strike in an area of the Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan that is known to host la Qaeda's top leaders. The remotely piloted Predators or the more heavily armed Reapers fired several missiles at a compound in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan, according to Retuers. Pakistani officials told Dawn that 17 people, all "suspected militants," were killed in the strike. I wonder why the officials are saying the dead were all militants? And not kittens and kiddies? And how many more such statemets will we get for our $1 billion? The target of today's strike has not been disclosed. No senior al Qaeda or Taliban leaders have been reported killed in the strike. No problem, get the cannon-fodder used to looking up at the sky all the time, worried about sudden death, and perhaps they'll decide to become auto mechanics instead. |

| #2 Under President Obama, the definition of militants was changed so that people delivering pizza to terrorists, taking the terrorist's laundry, etc. is considered a militant also. |
