No shite. It doesn't get much more dead than that.

BTW, my earlier comment was tongue in cheek. Any time we send one of these bastards to Allah is a win for humanity.

I wonder if we could revive the privateer notion and set bounties and allow the market to take hold.

The bounties are out there for any and all to take advantage of.

Just aren't any takers.

It's my understanding that the "bounties" now are for information. Not for actually offing the jihadis.

First we're gonna blow them up. Then we're going to blow them up again. Then we do it again. Then guess what... we start all over just to be sure!

We really need to get better at capture,torture and then kill. Skipping the first two parts is no fun.

How many launch platforms were involved? Hellfire missiles cost in excess of $100,000 each. The U.S. seriously wanted that guy dead.

I would have preferred if we could have taken him alive, but a dead terrorist (excuse me muslin extremist) is better than a live terrorist.
