Title: **Drone Strikes Protect America from al-Qaeda’s Terror** Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on August 30, 2011, 08:30:54 AM http://blog.heritage.org/2011/08/29/drone-strikes-protect-america-from-al-qaedas-terror/
Quote In another major blow to al-Qaeda, a U.S. drone strike last Monday in the North Waziristan tribal area of Pakistan killed the organization’s new number two commander, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman. The successful strike demonstrates the importance of continuing the drone missile campaign along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan as a cornerstone of the mission to degrade and eventually defeat al-Qaeda. Pakistani officials and media outlets regularly criticize the drone missile strikes as a violation of Pakistani sovereignty. But the U.S. is highly unlikely to relent in its drone campaign since the tactic has proven to be the most effective tool for I don't care what Pakistani officials and media outlets think. Bombs away. |
