Lets send them a missile

Well, duh! If we know where they are, then why don't we send them a few missiles -- From America, with love (not).

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mullah Omar and other Taliban leaders are directing insurgency operations in Afghanistan from the Pakistani city of Quetta, while al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is operating from Pakistan's tribal areas, a senior U.S. administration official said on Friday.

Bin Laden, his deputy Ayman al-Zawahri and others are operating out of Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) bordering Afghanistan, the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.

"Just as Mullah Omar is giving strategic direction for the Taliban from Quetta, al Qaeda senior leadership is in the FATA doing its planning," the official said, without giving the source of the intelligence.

"The iconic leaders of al Qaeda -- Zawahri, bin Laden and people like (Abu Laith) al-Libi are in the tribal areas of Pakistan," the official added.

Well, al-Libi isn't operating there any more -- he's DEAD, thanks to an American missile.

On the subject of missiles, what about Israel? The Israeli Project has this:

With rocket fire from the Gaza Strip escalating, already 68 members of Congress are co-sponsoring House Resolution 951, condemning the more than 4,000 rockets that have been fired at Sderot and other Israeli towns since Israel's complete withdrawal from Gaza. The rocket fire continues to escalate and to represent the greatest obstacle to Israel’s ongoing attempts to achieve a lasting peace with the Palestinians.

PALADIN: Sounds like a great plan. Our Special Ops guys could do it. I also love what the Predator Drones do. Those are some very cool toys.

MISSLES MIGHT WORK, BUT THEN AGAIN THEY MIGHT NOT.WE,VE GOT THE EXPERTS THAT CAN GET THESE PEOPLE WITH MINIMAL AMOUNT OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE. WE COULD FIND THE HOUSE WHERE MULLAH OMAR STAYS, THEN ALL THE TEAM HAS TO DO IS POINT A LASER PAINTER AT IT. THE STEALTH BOMBER LOCKS ONTO THE BEAMS (WHICH ARE INVISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE) AND BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE DIRTBAG DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT CAN BE DONE, AND WHO KNOWS YOU COULD TURN ON YOUR T.V. AND THE GOOD NEWS COULD BE ON THERE TOMMOROW. SURE WISH THEY,D DO IT SOON THOUGH.

I'm all for some well-placed US missiles to root out the slime on the Paki side of the border.
