Bin Laden Replacement Killed!

Official Says Top Al Qaeda Operative Killed in Pakistan - FoxNews.com



A top Al Qaeda commander and possible replacement for Usama bin Laden was killed in an American drone-fired missile strike close to the Afghan border, the militant group he heads and a Pakistani intelligence official said Saturday.
Ilyas Kashmiri's death is another blow to Al Qaeda just over a month after bin Laden was killed by American commandos in a northwest Pakistani army town. Described by U.S. officials as Al Qaeda's military operations chief in Pakistan, he was one of five most-wanted militant leaders in the country, accused in a string of bloody attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai massacre.
His death was not confirmed publicly by the United States or Pakistani officials.

I don't know about cool, but he has at least assumed room temperature.

My favorite part is this:

U.S. drones now operate entirely autonomously in Pakistan, a Pakistani intelligence source has told CNN. Whereas before the United States cooperated with Pakistan and used their intelligence, today, the Americans have an intelligence network that allows them to go after terrorists unilaterally
Well, no **** Sherlock!! We've killed twice as many top-level guys WITHOUT PAH-KEE-STAHHN'S "hep"...
