An American drone attack killed 23 people in North Waziristan on Friday, Pakistani military officials said, in a strike against militants that appeared to signify unyielding pressure by the United States on Pakistan’s military amid increasing public and private opposition to such strikes.[...]
A government official in North Waziristan told Pakistani reporters that five children and four women were among the 23 who were killed.
And Pakistan is supposedly still our ally.
[I]sn't it painfully obvious that however many “militants” we're killing, we're creating more and more all the time?
Well, it is to me, Glenn.
Isn't it obvious that the stated goal of all of this – to reduce the threat of Terrorism – is subverted rather than promoted by these actions?
It is to me.
I wonder if those people around the world who were so excited when Obama took the White House are still feeling that way. And I wonder if the Nobel Peace Prize committee has turned in its resignation.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
