Absolutely Awesome ! I hope they keep expanding on the predator strikes , they seem the only thing that really gets the " Big Guys " .
Just a little curious about the newly revealed RQ-170 "The beast of Khandahar " Or the Sentinal ( Yes it is Official now ) , They say that the "R" designation stands for purely operational , Troop Support , That's great .
Obama Recently announced that the U.S. will increase the Predator drone Attacks throughout Pakistan And into Baluchistan Afghanistan ! also Extremely great .
So is the Beast of Khandahar purely for "Recon" Purposes to support this ? Probably , But from the Looks of this BadAss Drone , it could be Modified With Weapons
After all the predator was purely for Recon When it was first introduced ! 
Either way Dead Bad Guys !
A high-ranking Al Qaeda figure reportedly was killed Thursday in a U.S. drone aircraft attack in north Pakistan.
The attack, first reported by NBC News, was officially denied by Pakistani officials, though sources told Fox News that neither Usama bin Laden or Ayman al-Zawahiri were among those killed.
Pakistani media report six militants were killed in the attack, including four foreign fighters, a classification in the tribal areas that typically refers to Al Qaeda.
The attack was part of the expanded use of Predator drones recently authorized by the White House, sources told Fox News, though the drone attacks, which began during the Bush Administration, never have been officially confirmed because of political sensitivity in Pakistan.
The Obama administration reportedly is talking with Pakistan about expanding the program from Waziristan to Baluchistan, a controversial move since it is outside the tribal areas near the Afghanistan border.
Baluchistan is where Afghan Taliban leaders are believed to be hiding.
The administration's decision corresponds with Obama's announcement last week to send 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, lawmakers lashed out at Pakistan last week as an unreliable ally in the Afghan war that could spare the U.S. its bruising fight with Al Qaeda if it wanted.
"They don't seem to want a strategic relationship," New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez said of the government in Islamabad. "They want the money. They want the equipment. But at the end of the day, they don't want a relationship that costs them too much."
A crucial ally in fighting the Al Qaeda terrorist network, Pakistan is also a major recipient of U.S. aid. President Obama and Congress recently approved a $7.5 billion aid package for economic and social programs in Pakistan in a bid to strengthen the civilian government there.
But many in Congress have grown skeptical that Islamabad is doing all it can to drive out Al Qaeda forces hiding along its mountainous Afghan border.

not awesome. we are killing easily replaced foot soldiers and allowing the real leadership in saudi arabia a free pass. this is poor grand strategy and we will lose if we continue.
I agree with that wesley , Saudi Arabia is no good either , we all know nothing will ever be done their !
My point is , Pakistan is the epicenter of everything terrorist related , all the big terrorist leaders are there , and pushing pakistan from one side ( With Money )to fight the Taliban And Al Qaida when they can , helps us , because we are in Afghanistan pushing back the Other way , When things finally meet up , Game over !
will it stop radical Islam , Hell no , The well is very deep for Candidates for Jihad !
will it mess them up for a long time to come , HELL YES !
The only way to stop radical islam is to eradicate the radicals , to do that would amount to Genocide ! We will not do that , but to beat the shit out of them from every angle and kill as many in the field as we can , that we will do , And better to do it in Afghanistan , Pakistan , Iraq or Wherever they may be , is better than doing it here !
