#1 More from Roggio:
One missile fired from a US drone struck a militant compound in the village of Issori, just outside of Miramshah. (Must've caught them in a big group hug.)
Issori is in the sphere of influence of the Haqqani Network. The Haqqanis, Bahadar, and Nazir are considered "good Taliban" by the Pakistani military establishment as they do not carry out attacks inside Pakistan.

#4 This is America, we have a right to build "Hellfire missiles" and launch them from Preds to kill these vermin. I have not, nor will I discuss the "wisdom" of the strikes.
