Well there I was just wondering giving life never stops but just that news we receive comes in cycles, that we had not heard anything from Pakistan lately, as the world eyes are on Britain and the Queens diamond jubilee dear old president Barack Obama is still on the job dropping drones into a still troubled Pakistan/Afghan borders regions of Waziristan, so happy days business as usual then? They say 15 people have been killed in this attack this being the 3rd attack in so many days, not a lot left to be identified but to say there are some foreign nationals amongst them ? Which is strange because I always thought Pakistanis & Afghans were foreign ! Putting the pun aside side but just who is getting killed here ? In the end a decision was made we are sending drones in, but it has to made on some grounds, if the Yanks have made a choice to send a drone in on the grounds it is a military compound why are we not getting a score card of who has hit the dust and what difference this is making to effort against terrorism ? Waziristan is a complex place north & south it is one of the hardest terrains on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan to deal with, but still it would be nice to know just who is getting it in the arse! It would help us understand the need of using the drones in such away, given so that not so many names are given out to show us that the effort of using the drones are worthwhile ! It makes sitting round drinking chai around the camp fire with your guns propped up against the rocks so much less fun now a days! Pakistan hates them because the word collateral Damage seems so synonymous when used with the word drone, I just love the good part of the uncorrupted Pakistan army that has in its time given it life trying to deal with the problems that exists in such a harden terrain, it even beats Afghanistan as being one of the worse terrains to deal with, and I think we should be more educated to the part it plays in the war against terrorism because it is the toughest nut to crack between Pakistan and Afghanistan border and will be for some time to come . . .
As far as I am aware it is the Pakistan army that deals with Waziristan and not the Afghan army in its fight against the known terrorist that breed within it and there seems to be a lack of communications between Pakistan and the Americans maybe due to a well held belief that by forewarning the Pakistanis of any such attacks leads to the camp fire being left abandoned before the drones can get their man! But it is this lack of communication that results in such collateral damage coming into to play thus inciting the Pakistanis no end, trust is such dirty word between America and Pakistan it just does not bare thinking about!

Even so a score card of who hit the dust would be nice even if it is after the event . . .

And the news is in as to who the intended target was in the latest Drone attack . . .
al-Qaeda's second-in-command Abu Yahya al-Libi !
The 1st Drone attack hitting 3 militant targets the 2nd Drone attack 12 more but none have yet to be identified so here's hoping . . .
Pakistan is again hitting out at the US claiming the Drone attacks are illegal well I am all for Drones if they hit their intended target, I for one don't like the use of I.E.D's, I and many others believe that I.E.D's sumounts to nothing more than dirty fighting and is the work of cowards so alls fair in love and war . . .
President Barack Obama is showing he means business and unlike any Presidents before him that are in fact of a miliarty back ground where he is not, he is actually the one using his head and getting in where it counts.
What ever we may think of him he is getting the job done like no other whether in Pakistan or else where.
As long as he is hitting the intended target . . .
