2013-09-06
[Dawn] Four suspected hard boyz have been killed in a US drone strike on a compound in Ghulam Khan Tehsil of North Wazoo Agency near the Pak-Afghan border.
Champ didn't ask Congress for authorization, did he...
Official intelligence sources told Dawn.com that the drone fired two missiles on a compound believed to be owned by the Haqqani network of Afghan Taliban in the village of Darga Mandi.

"The compound has been destroyed and four suspected hard boyz have been killed in the strike," the officials said.

"The identity of the dead could not be ascertained at this hour but this areas is mostly inhibited by the Afghan Haqqani Network of Taliban," they further said.

#2  In Wazoo, we are playing whack-a-mole. Hitting Assad would be the assassination of a head of state. Pretty much everyone would go batshit crazy over the latter. And they'd be correct to do so...

#1  just curious how much does it cost per Hell Fire missle from one of these drones? How much does a cruise missle cost if sent from one of our ships off the coast of Syria- no matter what it hits. Jusr curious about the cost beneifit analysis of hitting Assad over time, like we have the turbans in the NW region of Pakiland. And why can't we justify the same shit in Pak as we could in Syria.
