Shouldn't he have run in the other direction?

Sounds like a good time for a fourth missile.
I agree p-chuck.
Like when that Bradley was disabled and the crew was removed, and then the locals all started dancing on it, and a camera crew was filming the celebration, and then the Hellfire took out the Bradley.
Puts a chill on the old freedom of expression right there.

As an aside, I revel in the word, "Waziristan."
For some reason, it tickles me the same way as "Mahdi Army."
