Great plan.
Better than having multiple wars with bitter enemies. And which industry did they destroy?

Funny, I don't recall your complaining about the previous 19 such attacks...

As for numbers killed, the issue isn't the quantity but the quality of the target.

No high value targets were killed....your turn.

Interesting that in the 28 missile attacks in Pakistan since last summer, 132 people have been killed.
Of those, 100 were civilians.
I can see where this is a great tactic to continue in the regime of hope and change...

Were you ranting about the previous 27! Probably not because you were behind Dubya!

Not ranting about the latest one really....just that there isn't much change to see....civilians still getting killed,no real advantage to it, as according to the NYT there were no immediate signs of any high level AQ targets being killed....

Of course I am not wearing political blinders like you.

One thing about drone missile attacks are there is no immediate risk to US forces....sucks to be a Pakistani though.

And Obama has already killed 14 civilians in Pakistan and another 22 in Afghanistan...

He looks set to break the record.

Obama is a student of the past and will not wash, rinse and repeat like the last guy! He will revisit if necessary!
