"An estimated 12 people were killed in the strike, including Arabs, Turkeman from central Asia and local Taliban members, according to an intelligence official in the area who spoke on condition of anonymity. He said the bodies of those killed were badly mangled by the force of the explosion and it was difficult to identify them."Okay wait for it....the cries will come that we killed innocents (and we probably did), we will rebuild (which we should contribute), and we will be chastized around the world for it.
The author must have been getting paid by the word because they seemed to mention "on condition of anonymity" about 5 times in the story (that's 20 words right there!)....they also happened to repeat information over and over guized as new but its the same stuff.
The Predator is an unmanned aircraft developed by the U.S. CIA that can be armed with Hellfire anti-tank missiles. The CIA first used the remotely piloted reconnaissance aircraft as a strike plane in November 2002 against six alleged Al-Qaeda members traveling in a vehicle in Yemen.
This isn't true...well its not quite right...I won't say its a lie.
The predator was designed to be a spy plane going behind enemy lines to see what was happening. The CIA used it for intelligence gathering....the military found it made a great sense but because it was unarmed and expensive they couldn't justify using them---so with the CIA they redesigned the model and came up with what we now call the "Predator" which has defensive/offensive capabilities.
UAEs are nothing new really. Unmanned Aerial Equipment have been around since the development of the camera when you think of it; and using aerial photographs to access the military status of the enemy has gone back to the development of the hot air balloon. Some say that even DiVinci had plans for a spy-in-the-sky devise.
