JOE WOLVERTON, II

About 3 a.m. local time, two Hellfire missiles were fired by a U.S. Predator Drone at a house in Pakistan on Friday morning, killing four people suspected of being members of al-Qaeda or the Taliban.

The target of Friday’s strike was a building in Miranshah, the largest town in the North Waziristan area, designated by the U.S. government as a compound in use by the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Eyewitnesses report that the missiles caused a fire that destroyed the entire structure.

Early reports indicate that three alleged “militants” were killed by the drone, while four others were wounded, one or more of whom was a foreigner. Statements made by anonymous agents of the Pakistani government indicate that the missiles destroyed the house while those inside were asleep.

Although Pakistan has called on the United States to cease the drone attacks within that country, the Obama administration has ignored this request. In fact, the number of drones in the air, missiles fired by them, and the body count all continue increasing exponentially under orders issued by Barack Obama.

The government of Pakistan castigates its erstwhile ally for the prosecution of the Predator program, calling it an overt attack on the country’s sovereignty. However, other credible reports from inside the government indicate that while the official stance of Pakistan is to denounce the attacks, behind the scenes they have taken another tack — allowing drones to launch from Pakistani airbases and providing intelligence to help track targets.

Pakistan’s cooperative posture might be slouching lately, however, after the death of two Pakistani soldiers deployed along that nation’s border with Afghanistan. In all, at least 24 Pakistani soldiers have been killed by drones deployed in American airstrikes. Pakistan responded by shutting down the pipeline of NATO materiel that runs through the country, as well as booting the United States and its Predator drones off of an airbase in the southwest region of the country.

The move proved to be little more than an inconvenience, as the base was used by the United States only to repair planes and Predators damaged in Afghanistan. For Pakistan, though, the opposition is likely indicative of a more long-term policy shift. In fact, the nation’s parliament is now embroiled in lengthy debates about their support for the drone program going forward.

  1. More muders by our illegitimate government. When did congress declare war on Pakistan? As far as I know murder is still a crime in the US. Where is the law enforcement in these cases?

    When Pakistan starts going after the shit bag diaper heads that we pay them 6 billion dollars a year to round up. Then we will stop the drone attacks and the covert operations to get people that hide out there like OSB. Murdering Muslim rats is OK, any where on earth.

    I get 172 vigins for every muslim I cash in. My God can kick your Gods ass!! It says so right there in the redneck bible. That gives me the authority to convert muslims or off them as
    I see fit. Pretty much the same as the Koran, but a complete role reversal. Sorry about that.

    I hope you can see the simple minded non logic in the statement above and then apply it to
    the islamic assholes that think the koran gives them the right to murder anyone that has a different faith.

    People by the millions flooded into this country to avoid religious persecution and they have defended that right for over five centuries and would not hesitate to wipe out one billion
    four hundred million muslims to defend it. (PLEASE NOTE) one has the right to his freedom of religion as long as it dose not infringe on the rights of another. That would include anyone that thinks it is ok to shoot people from a mosque, but those being shot at don’t have the right to shoot back. I would hose down that mosque with pig shit and pork chops.

    “NOPE” It”s more of that I have had all the bullshit I’m going to take from self rightious
    assholes that think their koran gives them the right to convert people and beat their wives. The sons a bitches want a war??? Their going to get it. every last one of em!!!

  2. the federal reserve scumfucks and there uncle tom puppet sould be arrested for crimes against humanity

  3. Remember when Biden boasted that he would seek immediate impeachment against Bush if he went to war without the authorization from Congress. He also claimed that he was a Constitutional expert. Well Joe, I guess you meant that only Democrats can go to war without Congress. Biden is such an asshole. Another war with no Congressional approval. This country is going down the tubes fast. The Commies in Washington are taking marching orders from the U.N.! Oh, I forgot.

    The U.N. is made up of mostly Commies, so Obummer Biden feel comfortable taking orders from them instead of the elected Congress. Commies tell Obummer what wars to fight initiate. Leon Panetta made that absolutely clear recently claiming that Obummer would seek international approval from either the U.N. or NATO or a coalition of countries approval…NOT Congress!
    These fuckers are the real terrorists should be shot!

  4. Even though they say differently, Pakistan is as involved as the US. These machines are easy to find with any decent air defense radar and even easier to take out especially by a defending military with even the most primitive jet interceptor.

    I have sympathy toward the people of Pakistan but their government is just as corrupt and in cahoots with the US government/NATO/UN/ ad nauseum…

  5. “killing four people suspected of being members of al-Qaeda or the Taliban” See, you only have to be a “suspect”…We don’t need no stinking proof!!! Good news, with NDAA, now it can happen here too!!!

  6. “… killing four people suspected of being members…”

    They blew up a house because of “suspicion” alone! If they can do it there and get away with it, they can do it here or anywhere.
