Yep, it's Friday. Also known as the official kickoff to the Weekend of Hellfires in North Waziristan. LOL
Yessireebob...U.S. predator drones this morning hellfired the piss out of a vehicle in the Mir Ali district of North Waziristan killing four Taliban and/or al Qaeda.
From the report at DAWN:
As was pointed out just yesterday, the Pakistani military is being reported as preparing for an offensive in North Waziristan and believe me, when the Pakistani military approaches Mir Ali, they aren't going to send a couple hundred troops into that hell hole. Nope. The Pakistani army will pound the shit out of that village with artillery and air strikes - in fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the village of Mir Ali ceases to exist after that operation.

From the report at DAWN:
US drone attacks killed four suspected militants in the North Waziristan tribal region on Friday.For those of you paying attention to all of these posts regarding the drone strikes in North Waziristan, about 60-70% of them have been coming in this district of Mir Ali which is described as the fortress of al Qaeda and the Taliban in Pakistan. Now, one would think that after about the 20th drone strike on this village that the Taliban and their al Qaeda cousins would be seeking another refuge but apparently not.
The missiles were fired in two drone attacks in the Mir Ali district of North Waziristan, a DawnNews report said.
Two missiles were fired at Machi Khel village in the district that is considered the biggest fortress of Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants in Pakistan.
Senior security officials said the target was a vehicle but two local intelligence officials said the target was a house in the village.
“At least four militants were killed. The US drone fired two missiles. The target was a vehicle,” one of the senior officials told AFP.

I think the weekend sees higher predator strikes because folks in the reserves work weekends.
