The drone-bombing over Pakistan will likely be ordered to a halt within two weeks. I can’t see this current government agreeing to a program of aggressiveness with Pakistan. It hurts the image of Obama in the Middle East...and he can’t afford it.

The fact that this one was allowed to happen was kind of a shocker for me.

From the article - "...Obama has made Afghanistan his top foreign policy priority and said during his presidential campaign that he would consider military action inside Pakistan if the government there was unable or unwilling to take on the militants."

The trouble is that we have no idea if obama ordered the strikes or not. However, he had been getting intelligence briefings, and the Office-of-the-President-Elect was very active. My guess is that he was at least aware of the attacks.

Yep, he'll pull the drones back here to be used on USSA citizens. New Obombus excutive order: "pay your work privilege tax to me or I blow your house up"

New markings on the side of the drone; IRS COLLECTIONS
