At least four of the dead were believed to be foreign militants
ISLAMABAD - Suspected U.S. missiles killed seven people in a Pakistani Taliban stronghold Sunday, officials said, while an attack on a military convoy and a cleric's two-week deadline for the creation of Islamic courts rattled peace talks with militants elsewhere in the country's northwest.
The missile strike underscored the Obama administration's unwillingness to abandon a Bush-era tactic said to have killed several key al-Qaida figures, despite persistent Pakistani protests. The Muslim nation has used both peace pacts and military offensives to deal with insurgents along its border with Afghanistan, and it warns that the missile attacks dent civilian support for its actions.
The missiles landed in Murghiban village in the South Waziristan tribal region and also wounded three people, two Pakistani intelligence officials said. At least four of the dead were believed to be foreign militants, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Drones seen in the air They said drones believed to be used by the U.S. were seen in the air ahead of the strike and that Taliban fighters surrounded the damaged stronghold afterward. The compound was allegedly a militant training facility, the officials said, citing field informants.
The U.S. has dramatically stepped up its missile attacks on al-Qaida and Taliban targets in Pakistan's northwest since mid-2008, a policy that has not changed under new President Barack Obama. Pakistan insists the strikes inflame anti-American sentiment and often kill civilians, though many analysts speculate the two countries have a secret deal allowing them.
Pakistan has also turned to peace talks to deal with some insurgent groups, much to Washington's consternation.

Obama is a war criminal! His illegal war in Pakistan was not approved by the UN!!! Why are we doing this unilaterally? Where are our allies? Where are the French and Germans and Russians?? Why the rush to war? Why not give sanctions a chance? The 9-11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia not Pakistan!!!

Goooooooooooooooal. props to csvset for the pic....
Hellfire missle launches from Predators flying 24/7 over the al Queda held Pakistan frontier.
Why is Obama slaying innocents in a neutral country?
My thoughts exactly. When a Republican did the same thing the loons came out of the woodwork but where are they now?
Obama’s Bushwar continues! When does he stop killing innocent civilians? /s
Suspected US missiles kill 7....Read those suspects their Miranda rights.
It's far worse than that...
The Magic Kenyan - our first mulatto illegal alien president is killing innocents in the country of our ALLY!!!!
He's killing our friends!!! Oh my God - he's killing practioner of the Religion of Peace - whose call to prayer is the sweetest sound the Dalai Bama has ever heard..... Woe be us....
The Obama death toll continues to rise
Comeon....
People getting killed, INNOCENT OR OTHERWISE, no longer matter now that a DEMOCRAT is in charge. The media could now care less.
You’ll notice you haven’t seen THE DAILY DEATH COUNT of American Soldiers on ANY Big 3 Evening Newscast since Nov. 4??
"'At least four of the dead were believed to be foreign militants'?!? They are my brothers in faith."
You'll notice you haven't seen THE DAILY DEATH COUNT of American Soldiers on ANY Big 3 Evening Newscast since Nov. 4??That's just a weird coincidence, or maybe the MSM can't get any figures on that now. /sarc
Ouch! lol.
You get three guesses. and the first two don't count.
“We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians,
“Obama is a war criminal! His illegal war in Pakistan was not approved by the UN!!! Why are we doing this unilaterally? Where are our allies? Where are the French and Germans and Russians?? Why the rush to war? Why not give sanctions a chance? The 9-11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia not Pakistan!!!”
QUAGMIRE...HALLIBURTON...NO WAR FOR HUMMUS.
That was SO good that it bears repeating again and again...

All this time I've believed it was that Magnificent Bastard, Rove...
In any event - all negative results will have been inherited from the Bush Administrations - they've already used the expression dozens of times explaining their clean hands in the financial meltdown....
No Republican has been able to drive that stake into their lying hearts and draw blood...
If they had any sense at all - the Republicans would DEMAND and investigation by outside auditors to determine facts and assess responsibility for the mess....
Reason this hasn't happened?????????
They're not called the Stupid Party for reason...
Don't you KNOW that the Democrats would have staged a show trial to get to the bottom, if they didn't already KNOW all the main players/thieves/corrupt bastards were DEMOCRATS.. Many got stinking rich for being the assholes who pulled off the heist....and they're ALL Democrats in good standing.
