ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Missiles fired from a suspected U.S. spy plane killed seven people Friday on the Pakistan side of the Afghan border, a lawless region where al-Qaida militants are known to hide out, officials said.

The strike was the first on Pakistani territory since the inauguration of President Barrack Obama.

Pakistani leaders had expressed hope Obama would halt the attacks, more than 30 of which have been launched since the middle of last year, reportedly killing several senior militants.

The pro-U.S. government routinely protests them as a violation of the country's sovereignty, but most observ

In zero’s first debate with McCain, didn’t he make reference to “taking out Pakistan?”

Did he have UN authority??

Did he consult with allies?

Did Congress weigh in?

This is a war crime! Obama is a murderer!

From a comment at ABC News:

It all sounds very innocent, “a college trip to Pakistan”.

Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and ruled of martial law. Millions of Afghan refugees were living in Pakistan, while the Afghan Mujahedeen operated from bases inside Pakistan in their war with the Soviets. One of the leaders that based his operation in Quetta, Pakistan was Usama Bin Laden (The Sheik).

Pakistan was on the banned travel list for US Citizens at the time and all non-Muslim visitors were not welcome unless sponsored by their embassy for official business.

The would be only a few reasons a young Westerner of the Muslim faith would travel to Pakistan in 1981:

To Participate in Jihad, which is the duty of every “True Believer”.

For religious education in a Wahabbi sect, Saudi funded, Madrassa.

In order to purchase drugs from the drug marketplace.

Pakistan was not a tourist stop nor the place to hang out with someone’s family in 1981.

The Dalai Bama is the Commander in Chief!
He can no longer vote “present” - and skate.
The buck stops on HIS desk...

He is NOW the ONE MAN in the world who can win or lose the war against militant murderous Islamists.

He ALONE must now accept responsibility for the safety of the U.S...
If the U.S. is attacked NOW, it's ALL on his head.

NOW - I ask you, how safe do YOU feel?

The date should be February 30th, not February 5th, because it’s never going to happen. LOL.

I think we're going to be reading a lot more stories like this over the next couple of years.

I've been saying for some time now that having a half-black guy named Barack Hussein Obama in the White House is going to give this country the political cover to do things that never would have been possible with an old white president named Bush, McCain, etc.
