When Terrorists Hide

Recently, over at The Huffington Post, there was an article about a Yemeni airstrike that killed at least one suspected major Al Qaeda leader.  This airstrike, according to the article, was carried out by Yemeni forces, using American and Saudi intelligence to back it up.

The article claims that nearly thirty people were killed in the strike.

Not suprisingly, a bunch of people wents crazy and started talking about how wrong this was, etc.... but it leaves me cold.  You all know I how I feel about the invasion of Iraq.  You all know how I feel about escalation in Afghanistan.  Hopefully you all know that it isn't pacifism that drives my opposition.

Look, if we have god reason to believe that we know the location of an Al Qaeda leader or a cell, we should endeavor to kill or capture this person or persons immediately.  Additionally, should one of these subhuman scum hide behind the skirts of the local mosque, or any other places that civilised fighters shouldn't take refuge, I say bombs away.  If you don't want your church bombed, don't hide there... or place a mortar there.

Reant over. 

Please enjoy the following little ditty that I made up, sung to the tune of  "Santa Claus is Comng To Town"

 

You'd better not plot,

 you'd better not plan,

to strike the U.S.

or we'll get really mad

Droppin' bombs all over your head!

 

With surgical strikes

and predator drones

if you use Cell, we'll blow up your phone

Droppin' bombs all over your head.

 

We see you skulk in Yemen

You hide behind your kids

We'll blast you where we find you

and high-five with all our kin, so...

 

You'd better not plot

you'd better not plan

to strike the U.S.

or we'll get really mad

Droppin' bombs all over your heads.

 

Grisly, I know, but it sums up nicely.
