| Pakistan, US in tacit deal: Protest but let drones fly |
| 2008-11-17 |
| The US and Pakistani governments have reached a tacit agreement on Predator (drone) strikes into Pakistani territory, under which Islamabad allows them while continuing to complain about them and Washington never acknowledges them, The Washington Post revealed in a report Sunday. Pakistan, however, rejected the report as false and baseless. The paper claimed that both the countries reached the deal some time in September in a "don't-ask-don't-tell" policy to attack suspected terrorist targets in northern Pakistan." Citing unnamed senior officials in both the countries, the newspaper went on to say that under this policy, unmanned US drones have fired missiles at Pakistani soil at an average rate of once every four or five days recently. The deal coincided with a suspension of ground assaults on Pakistan by the US special forces, the Post said. |

| #2 I think we had that figured out a couple of weeks ago. We blast em, Pakis complain, we blasted some more. Then General P went there for a little talk, and we blasted some more. Seems pretty obvious by now. |
