#1 If we have jets and or AC-130's flying over, why would we use a tomahawk missle. They can't be as adaptable, should the target move?

#2 Yeah, but it is nice that we can strike via multiple modalities. Also, no country has to take the heat of being the place that an attacking plane took off from.

#3 THIS is terrorism. Three women, three children, and 20 others killed in an effort to strike a supposed Al Qaeda militant NOT responsible for any attacks on the U.S., but in fact two *attempted* bombings on Israeli interests. The reference to the truck bombings in this article are misleading, to say the least.

#4 How much are the shiehks paying you, Matthew Troll?
The US embassies were not "an Israeli interest."

As for Nabhan's alleged innocence and the dead innocents in Dobley, we have only your word and that of some other AQ collaborators for that.

The 200+ innocent Africans killed in the embassy bombings, on the other hand, were verified by media, and diplomatic and NGO personnel from all over the world.

Your post is, in short, a massively obvious example of the Big Lie. Goebbels must be smiling up from hell at you.

#5 Btw, next time you are a guest at George Gallows-sway's seaside Portuguese villa, just remember that there could be a submarine of some kind lurking offshore there, too.

#6 Giggle giggle first we accuse you of being paid of by shiehks, then you'll become a sissy for not backing the bombings, then we only have one option left and that is accusing you of being a collaborator. Next stop you'll be taking swimming lessons at the Abu Grade resort and spa.

#10 lol! The bastard spent a decade in hiding but we found him and smoked him anyway. Seems to be the fate of all brave Jihadis who strike at the United States.

#11 Tactical Tomahawk equips the TLAM with a TV-camera for battlefield observation and loitering that allows warfighting commanders to assess damage to the target and to redirect the missile to an alternative targets. Additionally the Tactical Tomahawk is able to be reprogrammed in-flight to attack one of 16 predesignated targets with GPS coordinates stored in its memory or to any other GPS coordinates. Also, the missile can send data about its status back to the commander. It entered service with the Navy in late 2004.

sure be nice to know the particulars and all the players, BUT NOT at the expense of future OPs.

In the last few months, al-Qaeda has been unmercifuully slaughtered in Iraq [GOD IS GREAT]
The U.S. operation targeting Nabhan comes only a month after Abu Laith al-Libi, a known top-tier commander of al Qaeda's combat operations was killed by a missile strike on his compound in the Pakistani region of North Waziristan. A video made by al-Libi supporters, which surfaced on the Internet recently and thought to be authentic, shows al-Libi's grandmother crying over his body
[North Waziris [Wazoos] boo f'n hoo...

Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan

Hopefully Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan and his support system were wiped off the face of the earth.

~~God is Great~~ 'God Is Indifferent'..... but civilized man is exuberant!

#12 If you can't "live and let live", and make nasty to the West, we will hunt you down and kill you - and your friends and protectors. That should be the message everyone who hears about this comes away with. The biggest problem of American foreign policy is trying to be "liked". Screw being liked. I want the people to either respect us, or fear us, depending upon which way they behave toward us. Being "liked" is for your mother. Teddy Roosevelt needs to ride again, with his Big Stick and his Great White Fleet. Nothing would please me more than to see all the idiots working for the State Department holy-stoning the decks of a half-dozen nuke-powered battlewagons.

#16 Methinks the ELF is in a world of trouble, they've committed a federal crime this time (Arson) and the feds do NOT have a sense of humor about things like this, look for arrests in the near future.

#17 When you throw in the guy the mossad apparently got in syria recently, who was involved in the beirut barracks bombing etc, alot of big fish have taken a whacking in a short period of time.

I would like to know who the hvt was in the most recent missile attack in waziristan. Haven't heard any follow up on it.

#20 paid of by shiehks ... sissy ... collaborator

The three are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary, bad personality traits do tend to cluster. Being one is a good indicator of being one or more of the others.

Congratulations Agent Kaney. Your contacts in the underground were instrumental in smoking out Nabhan and so many others. Keep up the good work and guard well your cover story.
