Following a debate yesterday, Pakistan’s parliament has announced that they intend to collect data about civilian deaths in the US drone strikes against Pakistani territory, and will submit the data as part of a complaint to the United Nations Human Rights Council about the attacks.
The drone campaign began in the waning years of George W. Bush’s second term, but dramatically escalated when President Obama took office, to the point where they have killed thousands, including massive numbers of unidentified “suspects.”
The announcement marks the first time any government has confirmed collecting data about the nature of the victims of the US strikes, though leaked reports have come out from time to time that indicated massive civilian death tolls were being estimated.
The Obama Administration has defended the program as effective, pointing to a handful of “known” Taliban leaders who were slain. At the same time, many of the “confirmed” kills have later been retracted when the supposed target turns up in another part of the country, alive and well.
About time.
This will not happen and even if they present then will have no effect as americans are mad and have no moral credibility as biggest killer in the history of mankind.
Pakistani govt, will not submit even if then half heartedly.
The feckless Pakistanis can stop the drone program any time they desire…. They only need to say NO, or ALL assistance will end…. jf the drones don't stop….No more supplies will pass our territory. Sadly, because Pakistan and her population are FOR SALE… They allow the foreign invaders, of another religion, to slaughter their own people… to keep the aid money flowing.. They ALLOW their political ELITE to sell the lives and bodies of their less well off to the murderers from afar… The Neocons and their virulent anti-Islam friends are getting to drink the blood of the Pakistani Umah
That's it! As long as you accept the bribe money the US calls the shots. The only way for any nation to keop it's sovereignty is to not allow hte US government to "help you" in any way.
Now the Pakistani have allot of neighbors who would like to carve up their territory like a Thanksgiving turkey and so long as the US helped to stabilize the region and brought in some cash and weapons they were fat dumb and happy. The US stills brings cash/weapons, but they do not seem to have a coherent long term policy that is in alignment with their security needs in the border areas. Be it one or ten years it will not be long and they may have to hold the fort alone. It might behoove us to listen to them. We started out with just a few failed states on our hands. If the war party has it's way will will have a good many more.
But the U.S. owns the U.N. so complaints made there will be of little use. Of course, complaining to the ICC won't do any good either because the U.S. refuses to recognize it.

Bushbama has made United Bluff into a banana republic. Problem is Rep. presidental candidates-except Ron Paul-are even worse than the war criminal Obama. Bush had to cancel speaking to rich Jews in Geneva in order not to get arrested for war crimes-The Geneva Convention!-will Obama be the next stay-at home-ex-president ?
