An airstrike Sunday killed a top Al Qaeda leader on the FBI's most wanted list for his role in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole warship, Yemeni officials said. The drone attack was carried out by the CIA, U.S. officials said.

Fahd al-Quso was hit by a missile as he stepped out of his vehicle, along with another Al Qaeda operative in the southern Shabwa province

I wonder how long it'll be before Obumbles claims that he physically rode the drone (side saddle no less!) and killed Fahd al-Quso with a single shot to the head from 30,000 feet with his trusty slingshot?

After all, we all stand amazed at how he single-handedly fast-roped into Osama's compound and killed him with a pair of fingernail clippers.

Yeah, now Obama will jump up and say "I hit that button, I killed that Al Quader guy, yeah it was me, all the way, man!  Romney wouldn't have had the guts to make that call"!

It would be hilarious if Stymie doubled-down on grotesque bragging!

Anyway...what I really want to know is, where's the video footage?  We don't to see clips of Osama or anybody else getting snuffed and no after action pics...wtf?!
