ISI actually gives CIA targets to be hit by these drones.
These drone strikes have decimated the ranks of the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
This whole condemnation is nothing more a horse and pony show designed to fool Pakistanis into thinking that the GOP is against drone strikes when it knows full well how effective it is.
Its actually Pakistani offensives into the tribal areas in which the Army uses massive artillery bombardment to soften up Taliban positions before they move in backed by Air Strikes which kills hundreds of people in the process.
Pakistan asked USA to hand over the Drone technology. But its too cutting edge. The Command and Control systems, the satellite relay system, and the drone itself could be handed over to China for reverse engineering.
Maybe, one the next generation of drones are invented, then USA could release this technology to Pakistan.
There are some "seniors" here who are trying to sell tickets to that horse and pony show with great enthusiasm. Boy, are they going to be disappointed when the show ends!
BTW, if the co-ordinates for the strikes are provided by the ISI, then don't they have the blame for the collateral damages too?

So what is PTI's stance on these drones? Will IK continue to support the Drone strikes (if he was sworn in as President) even though they are destroying the Taliban forces? Or will he implement a peace agreement with the Taliban?
Agreed.As I said yesterday "Drones should be fired down, US won't do anything radical about it. GoP should also be fired down. Army elite should also be fired down especially Kayani just like Anwar Sadat. As well as any militants in NWFP should be fired down."
I suspected that, but what would be America's stance on the issue then? Would America impose sanctions or try to get the drone strikes back in place or would they be willing to work with the new Pakistan officials to end the WoT? I don't think America will succumb to Pakistan's decisions so easily.I think because PTI is a populist type party they will have opposition to drone strikes and may as well down right end them by terminating authorization for future drone operations in Pakistan. In other words PTI will most likely end these drone strikes, it will be a public mandate.

Times are much different now than when America made the decision to use their nuclear bomb. Pakistan and America are allies and will work together to reason things out. Also I doubt America would even send it's drones knowing very well that Pakistan has changed it's stance on the issue and doesn't want anymore drone strikes and have given a firm, public mandate (Not the useless asking for apologies like we see now, but a more firm statement)You're talking about the only country on earth to have used nuclear bomb in a war. Are you sure that they won't do anything radical? Believe me, if it was that easy your jurnails would have shot down the drones over a year ago. If a drone-shoot-out takes place, next thing you will see is the Super Hornets instead of Reapers.

In my opinion, the first thing that would happen is that the next drone will be escorted by a USAF F-16.
The next thing that would happen is that you can kiss good bye to any spare parts of PAF F-16's that you are hoping to get hold of in the future.
Besides that, there are many other things that can happen.
