#1 sounds like a follow-up strike would have been productive.

Speaking of which, shouldn't we be Pavlov conditioning the Talibunnies not to go into a target after it was hit? To stay away long enough for maggots to eat the dead and wounded?

Does it make me a NAZI to suggest that?

#2 no, 3dc. It means you are thinking like a someone who wants to eliminate human vermin before they kill more innocents, or precious Coalition lives...all within the Geneva Convention and the LOAC.

#4 Maybe it wasn't a drone zap. Maybe the vehicle just hit a pothole and it jostled the explosives they were carrying which then accidentally detonated. Yeah, our drones aren't even armed - they just take pictures of all the spontaneously exploding Tali-wagons.

#5 The west fires x rays that remotely detonate explosives in cars.

#6 No, BP, Glenmore, I want them to know it's our doing, and that we're fully prepared to do it again, and again, and again, and...

A follow-up ARCLIGHT strike wouldn't be a bad idea, though, since the Talibunnies keep the "civilians" away.
