That's a Lot of Virgins

Good:

The death toll of multiple U.S. drone strikes launched on Sunday against training camps of al- Qaida militants in Yemen’s southern provinces of Abyan and Shabwa has risen to 55, the Yemeni Interior Ministry said on Monday.

Three local leaders were among the 55 dead militants, the ministry said in a brief statement on its website.

It said that its security services are working to identify the nationalities of foreign fighters who were killed among al-Qaida militants in the airstrikes.

The ministry described the air strikes as the strongest assault launched against the militants since 2012, when the army retook several cities of Abyan after months-long deadly battles with al- Qaida fighters.

Overall I much prefer Bill Clinton to Professor Ditherton Wiggleroom, but these drone strikes are major progress from the days of firing “a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.” Al Qaeda isn’t exactly “on the run,” as the Professor likes to claim, but at least he’s keeping their heads down.
