Feinstein comment on U.S. drones likely to embarrass Pakistan
The Predator planes that launch missile strikes against militants are based in Pakistan, the senator says. That suggests a much deeper relationship with the U.S. than Islamabad would like to admit.

Reporting from Washington -- A senior U.S. lawmaker said Thursday that unmanned CIA Predator aircraft operating in Pakistan are flown from an air base in that country, a revelation likely to embarrass the Pakistani government and complicate its counter-terrorism collaboration with the United States.
The disclosure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, marked the first time a U.S. official had publicly commented on where the Predator aircraft patrolling Pakistan take off and land.

She’s an idiot. Leaky Leahy II.
Another byproduct of the takeover of the American Republic by an anti-American force set on destroying our strength and military.
Did she really say this? Is she really that supid or treasonous? (Wait, don’t answer that.)
When was the last time any government official was prosecuted for sedition or treason?
TREASON!
The rats do this stuff all the time, from “Leaky” Leahy to Jimmy Carter to Robert Torricelli, and on and on. None of these scumbags has any respect for the military or for national security. Congratulations, America.
That’s some Intelligence Chairwoman. Oy.
Unbelievable.
Pakistan’s “embarrassment” is more important than winning the war in Afghanistan, to this bitch. As time moves along I see more and more that the female vote was one very, very large waste of time. Most the them think through their hearts and feeeelings, as mommies do. Just imagine the public shock if a female, (praise God there weren’t any then), US Senator in WWII said: ‘We should not drop the A-bomb, it will do more to inflame and embarrass the proud Japanese people than anything else”.
THINK ____ Isn’t this what the one wants?
Nothing happens by accident with Democrats.
Oh, Good God, DiFi.
Loose lips yada yada
Chine$e sell-out
Kind of a misnomer there, eh?
Pakistan has an elected government, and a third or more of the population supports the Talibunnies and Al Qaeda; most of remaining population is just indifferent. That makes it pretty important NOT to embarrass the Paki government lest they have to placate a large pro-Taliban voting block.
You are soooooooooo right!
While she was on the Foreign Relations Committee, her billionaire husband Blum made more billions through contracts in China. This fat bitch is a disgrace to the Senate and woe to the people of California who voted for this scoundrel and her twin- Boxer.
We’ve been reading about drone attacks on terrorists in Pakistan over the past few months... did the world think we launched them from Iowa or something?
The more our elected morons flap their lips about military secrets, the less our allies will trust us with any of THEIR secrets.
