>Well, I think we have the enemy on the run a little bit too. If we killed Sadiq Noor in Pakistan last weekend - which it looks like we did - that’s a HUGE blow to the jihadis.<
The problem with this is that the drones attacks are seriously bothering the Pakistani government. They don’t want them in any way shape or form. The drone attacks are also the reason we just lost a bunch of CIA agents there in an attack.
Obama is not working with Pakistan in a way that they want or think it will work well, it is making them more vulnerable to tribes. If that government loses control, terrorists immediately become a nuclear power.
Obama is screwing up BAD in Pakistan, but no one is seeing that or at least talking about it .......... YET
US kills 11 in latest North Waziristan strike
By Bill Roggio January 6, 2010 8:05 AM
Eleven terrorists, including two "foreigners," were killed in the latest US airstrike in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan.
Unmanned US aircraft struck a Taliban training camp in the Datta Khel region in North Waziristan twice today. The second strike hit the Taliban as they attempted to recovery bodies from the first strike.
"Two foreigners died in the initial attack," a senior Pakistani security official told AFP. "Five militants were killed in the previous attack and six in this attack."
The identity of the foreigners, a term used to describe Arab members of al Qaeda, has not been disclosed. No senior al Qaeda or Taliban leaders have been reported killed.
Today's strike is the third this year and the fourth in one week. It is also the third strike since an al Qaeda/Haqqani Network suicide bomber killed seven CIA officials, including the station chief, and a Jordanian intelligence officer, in an attack at Combat Outpost Chapman in Khost province. The outpost was used to gather intelligence for strikes against al Qaeda and the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
