A pair of US drone strikes in the Mir Ali village of North Waziristan have left at least 25 people dead. The drones targeted a pair of vehicles but also appear to have killed a number of people around those vehicles as well.
Though the Pakistani government, as usual, was quick to declare every single person killed an “alleged militant,” officials also conceded that they had no idea who any of the people killed were, suggesting that once again the shoot first and inquire later (if ever) policy of the drone program has probably killed a number of random tribesmen.
The drone program has caused a record number of deaths in 2010, and has come under renewed scrutiny amid reports that, as with the 2009 strikes, there are major numbers of civilian deaths going completely unreported in the international media.
The Obama Administration has been repeatedly demanding a full Pakistani invasion of North Waziristan, but in recent days suggestions have leaked that the administration may be planning to send US troops across the border instead. Pakistan’s government has approved its own military invading North Waziristan, but has rejected the notion of a US invasion.
Does anyone else see this insanity? Shoot first and check the results later? If a few nonamericans are murdered, who cares? This is reality at it's most vile and base. Good thing the american people voted in change they can be duped by because they sure were. This corperate-conglomerate-government complicit violence perpetrated on anyone anywhere violates our laws, our morals our principles that were laid out quite lucidly after ww2. We don't just need an american revolution we need a world wide revolution created by the people of the world to instigate the change that we need in order to survive.
Zombies have never revolted before and will not now. Changes will be made by those who survive the inevitable nuclear exchange.
bombing cambodia paved the way for pol pot.
just something to keep in mind
CBS national news reported tonight that terrorists had been killed. Notice they did not say that the US or Pakistani government SAID that terrorists had been killed. Now if CBS is going to say this they ought to have their own independent means of verifying the statement. I am willing to bet that they do not. They accept what they are told by these governments. Now what kind of check on the state is that?

You wanna do a little test? Look for a headline and do a Goggle search. Pull up all the corporate media articles under that tile and compare them, word for word, see what you get.
They issue one press release and they all flock to it and re-release it verbatim. It's sickening!
I have no worlds to condemn these type of acts as they are illegal immoral unjust, brutal, just to satisfy sardists who want only to kill for nothing.
On the day of judgement those who are killed will take them to ask why they killed us and will be send to Hell but at present americans have made this world a hell for their lies and killer mentality.
Every CIA agent has killed so many people in the world and hope one day Latin americans will take revenge with innocent americans who have nothing to do with these killings only handful politicians
I guess they're winning their minds and hearts (and the rest of their bodies) 25 at a time now. And this is what I call progress!
