Nine people were killed and there is no means to verify that they were militants. Most probably they could be civilians as such there could be severe reaction from them. Is there any possibility that this bloodletting comes to an end and we could have peace in our tribal areas?
we fully endorse such attacks as long as they hit the right targets .. once again thanks to USA for fighting our part of evil .
Come on Uncle sam ! We need more please ! OUR army are also supporting you. We know this !
I used to wonder why the constant bombardment over these areas have got prevalent and , now i think this may be the heavenly punishment to those people whose religious pride,over-estimation,fanatiscim,under-education hev led them to nowhere.Even recently they shatter the unity of the country by celebrating the EID on saturday when even the Upper dics of the crescent was impossible to be sighted.Their Ulema's remain heedless to have some concern....so pay the price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.I am not aiming tauntful arrows over the whole-lot ,yet the authoritative layer could be accredited for the consequences.
At least there is some one who take revenge for us. God bless America.
This Drone looks like a D & has become a pain in the A for Pakistan.
The military should do something instead of a sitting like retired old granny & complaining.
Good Job!....Please target suicide bombers before Military launches operations...as these criminals threatens in advance....
@Babloo: "Pakistan maps should be redrawn to show those areas as no longer under Pakistan state control." If you have not noticed, Pakistan maps are being redrawn to include parts of Punjab only. It is being done by the people of Pakistan themselves (which includes their political parties, provincial minded, religious rightists, and above all by their assets, with catalyst provided by the judiciary and the army); and for the people of Pakistan by others (which includes USA, Afghanistan, NATO and the recent entrant France). I believe there is good support for this from OIC countries also. If religious violence flares within China or Burma, China will come out from the sidelines and make an open entry to this group.
This is a product of sleeping with the enemy.
@proud pathan: Don't go picking on France. Hurt feelings are enough to make them surrender.
wots ur say on this act FRANCE...
What is going on in Pakistan since ISI honcho's recent visit to USA?
Supply routes opened fully with added burden of security on Pakistan; Kayani is also singing the same tune that it is OUR war.
Drone a day keeps Jehadi away.
No one in the universe is opposing unrelenting drone strikes in Pakistan. Not even all-weather friend China or braader-mulk Saudia are opposing these strikes. Forget about Kashmiris; they are full of ingratitude and are awake now.
Give the US fair warning and if they dont stop, SHOOT THEM DOWN.
God bless you. Keep it up. All the peace loving people are with you President OBAMA.
Pakistan maps should be redrawn to show those areas as no longer under Pakistan state control.
If they hit the right target - "Good riddence" and "More of the same pls"
Keep it up . This is an Idee to the people of Pakistan as they also have started to hate such eliments .
This is the election year in USA so expect more drone strikes. Yah Allah, please give courage and determination to our Army to protect our country too.
Thank you Uncle Sam..!!
