Another US drone attack in Pakistan

Another US drone attack in Pakistan, 13 dead. They're coming 3 or 4 a month now. I sure hope we're getting value, because we're only going to get so many of these before Pakistani pressure shuts them down.

Per the Pakistanis,
Officials say about one in six of the strikes over the past year caused civilian deaths without killing any militants, and that fuels anti-U.S. sentiment, complicating the military's struggle to subdue violence.

  • Yeah. I saw that. They're following the US attacks with local attacks. They can't really hit the US so they're trying to draw connections in Pakistan so people will rebel against the US strikes.
