You know, that's how it is with civil servants...you have to promote the incompetent to:
1. get them the hell out of the way
2. assign them somewhere with a bigger support staff to make up for their idiocy

In Basra today, an unmanned U.S. Predator aircraft fired a Hellfire missile on five "criminals" who had attacked an Iraqi military patrol with rocket-propelled grenades, a U.S. military statement said. It said four of the suspects were killed. Their vehicle, which was suspected of carrying weapons and ammunition, was destroyed by a second missile, the U.S. statement said.


65K + Delivery costs to waste 5 guys.

And it doesn't just apply to government bureaucracy. Though it's almost always worse there.

I'm a Certified Grammar Nazi, and I approve of the coinage of "heckofajob" as a verb.

Verily this.



And, really, how can anybody not see this as a joke. Even if you supported the war for a long time, you gotta relent...

do you mean "heckufoajob", as mentioned before?
As a grammar nazi, I would have expected more of you.

When they said the heads were reassigned I thouht the Mahdi Army had cut them off and switched bodies. Because there is no humor like terrorist humor. Al Sadr the thief of Bad Gags.

Then aren't you obligated to rag on the spelling, before announcing the greatness of "heckofajob"?

Considering the cost of this war, that's a freakin' bargain.

I hope "heckuvajobbed" becomes a common colloquialism.

I suppose you're all correct. especially compared to the tomahawk at 600K$+platform.

I just dream of a system where we could drop 20 pounds (or less) of explosives on someone for under 10K$ + platform.

Yeah, I can't tell if the author of the headline was not thinking, or was just exercising poor taste. I was thinking maybe their heads were reassigned from stoppering-their-neck patrol to rolling around on the ground duty.

Cool.

Send it to me. I'll expect the check within the week.

Then I can take a year off work.

Box cutters retail for under $2 at most hardware stores, and a one-way airplane ticket can be purchased relatively cheaply.

The bonus of that method is that your enemy is bound to retaliate with a futile war against the wrong people that will send them well on the way to bankruptcy.
