#1 I'll be interested in seeing how much noise the Pakistani's make about this in the next few days.
My guess? Not much.

#2 I say it wasn't a missile, but another asteroid like the one that hit North Africa the other day, just a little bigger. Maybe Halliburton Asteroid Division spokesman can say something.

#4 I blame Mecca. It was the orphan asteroid's mother coming to find it, and she is pissed.

#6 Looks like a twofer...

One missile strike occurred at a house in Tappi village in North Waziristan tribal region. Some of those killed were believed to be foreigners, said two local Pakistani intelligence officials, citing reports from informants and agents.

A local tribesman, Shoaib Dawar, said Taliban militants surrounded the house. He said drones were heard in the area before the strike.

A second alleged strike was reported at a house in the village of Dande Darpa Khel. The site was near a seminary of veteran Taliban commander Jalaluddin Haqqani, considered an archenemy of the U.S. No casualties were immediately reported.
