This much credit you have to give the OP: if another country started lobbing drones at the US, we'd be outraged. Our standards always trump everyone else's.

Since when are we at war with Pakistan?

Can't wait till they start using the drones against American citizens.

Yes, we would; however, the OP didn't say that. Instead he expressed the wish/anticipation for attacks against Americans.

Why all the nonsense?
1) We are not at war with Pakistan. However, this country doesn't do what they should. They are not prosecuting and/or eliminating terrorists. Bin Laden was living quite comfortably (under their watchful eye). Thus, we have to step in and do the job.
2) These casualties were unintended casualties and a mistake. There is no point in targeting civilians.
3) We will be using drones not to kill, but to watch good American citizens like José Padilla (a.k.a Abdullah al-Muhajir). They can (and will) be arrested /eliminated later.
3) You don't seem at all concerned with civilian victims in places like Syria. Being killed by Muslims don't count in your opinion. Only when America and Israel are involved it becomes tragic.

Underwear Bomber Abdulmutallab: "Proud to Kill in the Name of God" - Yahoo! News

If we could take him down with a drone (in Pakistan, Afghanistan, anywhere) it would had been a better outcome than keeping him (years) in jail.
In general, we are not proud to kill people just because they belong to a certain nationality, religion or race. I hope we'll never target civilians at random in any country.
On a personal level, America did nothing wrong to this SOB who grew up in a privileged house. People claim that poverty and lack of education lead to such behavior. Abdulmutallab is both educated and rich. So was Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri.

I'll make sure to use a sarcasm smiley next time, for you. Others seem to get it.

If you trade security for freedom, you will end up with neither ~ (some founding father), i think Jefferson

WE are at a time, when Freedom will be lost forever, if we don't start to speak up and assert our "God given" rights to speech, property, happiness, and liberty.

Acting like bullies of the world, hiding behind our technology to kill innocence, is not my idea of a honorable peace loving people.

BTW: WE trained and created Bin Laden, Saddam, Qaddafi, and every other CIA operative.

So where's the outrage from the LEFT if Bush had done this this thread would be a mile long. We have no right just bombing, because we think the terrorist are there. You lefties use what's good for you at the time, thought you we're against war of any kind.

Just like the LEFT voted for WAR until it became unpopular, then it was Bush's fault.
I can't seem to figure out the LEFT, For war, not for war!!

We stop giving money, we don't bomb them. We're just as guilty for supplying them with too much money to hide terrorist.
