A pair of US drone strikes in the North and South Waziristan tribal agencies of Pakistan killed 22 people today. Many of them appear to have been militants, but at least four of them were also children. The attacks, the first of President Obama’s fledgling administration, and the responses in their aftermath suggest that, in the end, very little has changed.
Pakistan has complained, as they always do. Major General Athar Abbas, the spokesman for Pakistan’s military, complained that the Pakistani Army was trying to take action against militants in the tribal area, but the US drone strikes were hindering both the potential offensives and undermining efforts to drive a wedge between the Taliban and the various tribes in the area.
And, as they always did during the Bush Administration, the Obama White House has declined to comment in any way on the attacks. At the swearing in ceremony, the new president complained that there has been too much secrecy in recent days. Yet when the chips are down and US missiles have killed four innocent children, he has become a quick study at the idea of “no comment.”
Well Obama isn't our first choice as President.
His first 22 Kills where 3 or 4 were innocent childrens. Well we don't even know who the else 18 "Militans" were, were they even innocent or not!
It is just not right… Obama should learn that there will be no world peace. It has never been there nor will it ever come. The world is a mess and it will continue to be till the end of time.
The sun will rise and fall and people will die one by one by these horrible Politicians.
Even Obama believes in a God, if he does he will have to answer his doings in this world as a leader and be judged for it.
If America believes that they want to rule the world then they should do it by love rather then by terror.
Give these 3rd World countires Education, Standard, Money so they can develop and be allied with the U.S rather then be an enemy.
