FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “I hope Pakistanis will take a look at this agreement and say ‘Wow, the Americans are not going to cut and run this time,” US Ambassador Ryan Crocker said Wednesday.
The comments came hours after US President Barack Obama ended a short visit to Afghanistan on Tuesday night, where he signed an agreement with Afghan President Hamid Karzai to extend US presence in the war-torn country for another decade beyond 2014.
According to the agreement the US cannot launch any attack on other states from Afghanistan soil after 2014. However, in the event of threats to Afghanistan the two countries can respond.
“There is nothing in this agreement that precludes the right of self-defense for either party and if there are attacks from the territory of any state aimed at us we have the inherent right of self defense and will employ it,” Crocker added.
The US resumed its drone operations in Pakistan in recent weeks after having halted the strikes in November 2011, when 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed in NATO airstrikes at two checkpoints on the Afghan border.
The US says the operations target militants, although surveys show most of the victims are civilians.
On Monday, three people were killed when US assassination drones hit a girls’ school building in the troubled northwestern Pakistan.
North Waziristan and other tribal regions in northwestern Pakistan have been frequently targeted by US drones over the past few years.
According to a Pakistani human rights lawyer, Shahzad Akbar, over 2,800 of the 3,000 people killed over the past seven years in non-UN-sanctioned US assassination drone strikes in Pakistan were civilians.
The aerial attacks were initiated by former US President George W. Bush but have been escalated under President Barack Obama.
