US to continue drone hits: Panetta

[SQ8]

Oh come now, you are speaking like a motivational speaker / management consultant!

(Do you live in a van down by the river too? )

Will be doing that after a year or so professionally..
but whats the harm in helping people play out an occasional R-kelly song.. or BoB Marley.
After all.. We didn't shoot the Sheriff..yet.

Good luck to you!

I only mentioned it because some AnGrY MaNiAc used the term as if it were a bad thing in another thread here.

It is not the Sheriff, but the ensuing posse one worries about, actually.

Good!

Drones lead to a safer world.

You think??? Hmm......

A Jet ranger can shoot down a drone with the pilot using a 9mm.
Point is the political,financial and diplomatic guts to do so.

Political because the PPP has a benefactor in democracy loving USA.. so they dont want to do anything that annoys the Americans with regards to the PPP.

Financial because the drones are in Pakistani airspace for a few minutes at maximum, Standing CAPs will cost massive amounts of money and great wear and tear on our Aircraft.

Diplomatic because if you do shoot down a drone, you just took on the US of A.. and the consequences of which neither the GoP or the Establishment have the gumption for.

Lets just focus on the diplomatic part. By consistently attacking Pakistani citizens within Pakistan, the US has already taken us on.....it's up to us really to decide when to start defending ourselves. The drones will not stop with mere condemnations. This matter should first be taken to UN, then the drones be shot down. And then we take the escalation from there on.

Of course. USA continuously evaluates the drone program on an ongoing basis too. If the cons exceed the pros, I am sure it will be stopped. So far, the pros exceed the cons, it seems.

Actually No!

So far the US has not been challenged with actions. Majority of Pakistanis want every option to be utilized for prevention of drone attacks, including military options.

If and when the challenges to the drone attacks mount to the point where they overtake the pros, changes will happen, I am sure. So far that has not happened, but the re-evaluation, should it happen, will be swift.
