Fresh drone attacks in Pakistan reignite debate

Full story: Christian Science Monitor

A daily summary of global reports on security issues. A suspected US drone attack in the mountains of South Waziristan killed between 8 and 14 militant followers of Taliban leader Beitullah Mehsud before dawn on Wednesday, just hours before Pakistani airstrikes on a second camp nearby. Pakistani officials condemned the use of unmanned drones, saying the pilotless warplanes kill civilians and alienate local tribes needed in the war effort. It's an argument with which many US critics agree. However, analysts say Pakistan is in fact involved in the drone attacks, making its denials only in the face of public outcry. The controversy underscores the fragility of the US-aligned government in Islamabad as it struggles to defeat a Taliban insurgency while maintaining the trust of its people.

Porkistan followed the state policy of recruiting, training, and exporting jihadi terrorists.

Porkistan's Zia ul fuk created the doctrine of bleeding india by a thousand cuts.

Porki ISI and army created their terrorist extension counters in the form of Lashkar-e-taiba, Jamaat-u-dawa, Al Qaida, Taliban...

Porkistani terrorism resulted into 65,000 deaths in India over the last 20 years.

Now their own jihadi terrorists are gnawing at their vitals. Paki president now wants aid from the world to cure its self created terrorist problem.

The US is only helping the pakis by sending drones and missiles down stinkin paki arses.

The porki nation that was created in sin shall die in sin - Amen

Daily Horoscope for December 17

Capricorn

You're in the mood to spend some money today. That's fine if you've got it, because you'll have a wonderful time strolling around the shops. But it isn't such good news if you're supposed to be sticking to a strict budget because that will be well nigh impossible once you've seen something that catches your eye. It will keep saying 'Buy me, buy me!'
