ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A suspected CIA drone strike targeted a militant stronghold area in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan’s borderlands yesterday, killing 15 people, according to news reports.

Missiles pounded the town of Datta Khel, near what US officials believe is the headquarters of the Haqqani network, an Afghan insurgent force that has staged deadly bombings in Afghan cities and regularly attacks NATO troops in eastern Afghanistan.

The Associated Press, quoting Pakistani intelligence officials, said the strike targeted a vehicle suspected of carrying foreign militants and damaged a nearby restaurant and home.

1. I'm sure all 15 were very, very bad persons

Time for another round of driving through downtown, horns a-honking, fists a-pumping, and shouts of "USA! USA!"

Sorry it's on such short notice, what with the price of gas and all, but freedom isn't free.

3. How many years? How many more deaths? Before the bosses admit that the war is lost?

Or, congress finally defunds the ongoing charade put on by the military and MIC?

4. Unless the draft is reinstituted

look at the time it took to quit Vietnam & double it.

5. Or, we go completely broke chasing mosquitos with sledgehammers.

Even the Republicans and Blue Dogs aren't dumb enough to try and reinstate the draft. I fought against the draft back then and am not so sure that that was such a good idea. People get upset when their kids come home in boxes and all that "patriotism" dissipates rapidly when one's number comes up to be drafted.

6. Monty python used tanks against the little buggers, Bruce!

Evenso, they were portraying Australians...
