45 killed,as US drone strikes in Pak's north-west
Source: Indian Express

At least 45 militants were killed in Pakistan's restive northwest in one of the deadliest strikes by US drones, signalling Washington's resolve to step up assault on terror groups in this country despite growing strains in ties with its key ally. Theunusually heavy barrage of three missile strikes in a span of 12 hours, targeting militant hideouts in north and south Waziristan took one of the largest death toll in the controversial unacknowledged air campaign.

The drone attacks commenced on Monday night when unmanned air craft unleashed nine missiles into a suspected militant compound and a vehicle in north Waziristan, killing 25 militants, local officials were quoted by TV channels as saying. Few hours later, the drone struck again in nearby South Waziristan firing missiles and killing five militants.

The drones reappeared early this morning over the area firing two missiles at another compound in North Waziristan killing 15 militants.

1. push button
kill people
go home
eat dinner

45 'enemies' of America killed by robots on the other side of the world without a drop of blood or sweat on our brows.. Science!
America's one political party system agrees they all love this shit...

Bush's killing spree becomes Obama's killing spree. huzzah.

This can't be the NORM. This is an aberration and must be disappeared in time along with the TSA and other misguided protective measures that make things worse.

Drones will be used against people in America in 10 years or less at the rate we're becoming used to it.. It's W R O N G and we need to stop making killing people convenient and easy.

So that's at least 13 missiles launched at suspected targets, 45 dead bodies
noted and NOT ONE CIVILIAN KILLED IN COLLATERAL DAMAGE!

Woohoo!

Team America Fuck Yeah!
:applause: :patriot: :applause:




Or maybe it's just another PR whitewash to "justify" blowing up a couple of
hundred thousand dollars of MIC subsidies along with some unknown foreigners
on the other side of the planet ... different day, same shit ...

Man, these drones are great. Deadly, precise, and home in time for dinner.

Hearts and minds must surely follow in the wake of this terror campaign.
