(TheBlaze/AP) — About three dozen American anti-war activists are headed toward Pakistan’s militant-riddled tribal belt to protest U.S. drone strikes, but a faction of the Taliban has warned that suicide bombers will prevent their demonstration.
The anti-war activists– many of whom are from the far left women’s organization Code Pink– are reportedly joined by thousands of Pakistanis in their march, and their motorcade is being led by ex-cricket star turned politician Imran Khan. Militants have dismissed Khan as a mere tool of the West despite his condemnation of the drone strikes, which have killed many Islamist insurgent leaders.

Now that is ironic karma meeting SCHADENFRUEDE. I can’t help it. The headline made me laugh.
Yep, tough call... he proclaimed that he would stand with the Muslims, so will he leave the Code Pinkos to be slaughtered?
Then again, will he send our troops to protect them, or planes to fly them out of there fast? Because, after all...they ARE endangered, innocent American citizens on foreign soil, and he has been warned. /sarc
Guess he'll just sleep on it.
