Speaking today to a US Congressional delegation, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari warned that the continued US drone strikes are undermining public support for the assorted wars in northern Pakistan and called for the attacks to cease.
The US has continued to increase the number of drone strikes in Pakistan in recent months, killing large numbers of civilians but relatively few high profile militant leaders. The attacks have riled the public, though US officials have dismissed such concerns.
Zardari has been pressuring the US to give drone technology to Pakistan so that it can launch its own strikes in the region, though since Pakistan has not-so-secretly provided targeting information for several of the US attacks it is unclear what this might accomplish.
But Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) one of the delegation members, praised the continued drone attacks as “very effective” and said they were essential to an eventual victory in America’s seemingly endless war in Central and South Asia.
If this Practice Continues it will turn Pakistan into a Hell Hole. They are a nuclear Power and will retaliate sooner or later. Like Obama Promised: YES WE CAN ! make more Terrorists to expand this insane War.
i would like to see the American reaction if a foreign force would have constant drone strikes on the usa.
Obama, you are a Hypoctyte of the worst kind by valuing American lives over others.
i love the drones just watch the rag heads blow up is great
Is it O.K. to call Muslims "Rag heads"?? or People with African American heritage niggers, or Israeli citizens Kikes… Or should one, as John McCain himself will admit, call Vietnamese people Gooks…. What about calling Italian People…Wops, Dagos….. Maybe call Hispanic people Spicks, or is being politically incorrect only O.K. when it's NOT ones ethnic group….Or should that be when it IS one's own ethnic group……. I myself try to avoid these derogatory designations…

Zardari, you are a war criminal for attacking people you are forcing to be a part of your nation and who have been politically disenfranchised. Go to a jail cell for life you war criminal Zardari.
