The more the terrorists gain strenth and safe havens the more attacks should be carried out. We have to protect the poor Pakistani civilians at all costs. Let us keep our jihad against the fanatic terrorist killers.

I wish I was able to see the faces of those who are against Drone attacks after each strike.

We are tired of reading these ‘cut and paste’ stories every time. Who died, who taken their bodies, where cremated – are all national secrets.

One Simply can’t Kill “Suspected” Criminals in any other part of the World. Leave Killing the cant even crimally charge anyone unless and Untill a crime has been fully established against them. What is the gaurantee here that no innocent were murdered. O ofcourse the World only cries Foul Play when it is the innocent US Citizen who dies. Innocent Iraqies, Afghans or Pakistanies don’t Count.Recommend
Keep it up. The useful and dreadful weapons against these barbarians and uncivilized creatures.

I love to see the faces of those who oppose Drone strikes after each attack…

I don’t think it’s a secret that Pakistan has little (if any) control over the territory where these drone attacks take place and the Taliban doesn’t like providing the information you request. Kinda of a catch 22 – to get the info you want Pakistan has to take control and when they do the drone attacks will stop. Go figure – guess you and the American’s want the same thing.

That is tantamount to lynching. These drone strikes are completely inhuman and insane and deserves utmost condemnation.

News in International media about the attack on US base in Afghanistan where the Americans lost six harriers and two marines:
“Taliban release video on Afghan base attackers..The Taliban video shows men wearing U.S. Army uniforms as they practice cutting through a chain-link fence and charging through the opening. One man indicates targets with a pointer and a whiteboard showing drawings of planes and fortifications. He speaks Pashtun, a major language in southern Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan. Words on the whiteboard are written in Urdu, a language more common in Pakistan…”

SO what happened to the fact that HRK claimed there is a greater realization in US now that drones are counterproductive.

You guys “suspect” it. I’m sure the guy hitting the button is pretty sure of it. It’s also war. Common criminal law doesn’t apply.

@Cautious:
Dear Cautious,
I do not think it is any secret that America set up most of the so called militant groups in Afghanistan, illegally invaded Afghanistan, forced the Taliban Government over the border into Pakistan, and then called them terrorists because they had the audacity to fight back. This situation is continuing and America, in its usual cowardly fashion, is firing drones to kill these combatant freedom fighters, and blaming Pakistan for the problems created. Of course, America has not produced any evidence in this particular case and the house occupiers may well be women and children. This has now been going for nearly twice as long as World War 2. It is time for America to recognize that they have created a monstrous debacle, and just get out of South Asia.
P.S. Please do not say that the war is legal because the UN Security Council approved it. It is hardly a democratic institution.

The US is cooperating as Ms. Khar has said all along.

@Midhat:
The use of American drones in Pakistani territory without the consent of the Pakistani Government is illegal (by any standard). Period. That is not the question. Each Government should be in full control of its own territory. That is neither the case. If the Americans (as allies) do not want to share their drone technology with Pakistan then that is their choice. Ideally, Pakistan and US as allies should collaborate and agree on each drone strike beforehand. But then both Governments should be on the same page with regard to objectives and means. This is neither the case. The trust deficit cannot be swept under the carpet either. Some objectives might be the same, others are obviously not the same. With over 40,000 killed you can neither claim that this about “suspected criminals”. This is a war and more and more Pakistanis are realizing that it is Pakistan’s war. The problem is within. Multiple games played by multiple players makes this whole affair a murky business. If Pakistan does not lead in a transparent manner it will continue to be led by uncontrollable events (from inside and outside). The ideal place for conspiracies.
