Seriously, one link is plenty fine for a goodly amount of things. Bitching about it is more offensive than the 1LFPP itself.

Isn't this particular airstrike, like, a week old?

ask yourself if the same thing would happen if an al-Qaida leader was found to be in London, or Israel, or your backyard.

we are really bad at this shit, aren't we? aren't we friends with pakistan? couldn't we have just sent soldiers (either theirs or ours) in to grab this guy if we thought he was there? or were we, like, afraid?

At what point are we "at war with Pakistan"?

Serious question...if I was a country that was hit like this I'd be declaring war immediately. If the El Paso was hit with missile from Mexico there'd be U.S. troops in Mexico City by nightfall.
