Maybe not funny. It almost seems sometimes that these "strikes" are not
about capturing or killing anyone at all, but serve rather as periodic
reminders that the U.S. has the right to strike anywhere, any time, for
any reason, and with any results.....in its eternal war on terror. As I
said when the strike ocurred, these strikes will not happen in the heart
of Paris, London, Berlin, etc. because, as we all know, when you
indiscriminately kill white people, that's called a "massacre."
