UAV/Drone Strikes which kill or maim innocent Pakistani civilians including Tribemen is tantamount to the US waging de facto War agz Pakistan = US-PAK WAR IN ALL BUT NAME???

#8 Spies Gone Wild
Pakistan's leaders are losing their war with Islamic terrorists. Not because the security forces can't hunt down and kill Islamic terrorists, but because the continued corruption and incompetent government has kept most Pakistanis unhappy with their government. This makes it possible to keep recruiting new Islamic terrorists, who keep seeking to kill the people who run the country. Thus the Taliban threat to come after senior military and civilian leaders if the government did not halt the American CIA use of UAVs to kill terrorist leaders. Officially, the government has refused to comply. But it appears that the intelligence agency, ISI, has backed down to the Taliban threat. Cooperation between the CIA and ISI has been much reduced in the last four months, As a result, the number of CIA missile attacks on terrorist leaders are down as well. The U.S. has been forced to pull dozens of intelligence operatives out of Pakistan.

#10 Mr. Davis and potentially dozens of other CIA operatives were working without Islamabad's full knowledge.

Total bull. The ISI knew about Davis. The 2 guys who tried to "rob" him were ISI operatives tailing him (without his knowledge). They are primarily pissed that their 2 agents got shot.

#11 The ISI knew about Davis.

Of course they did. Or at least the government did. How many times had the American embassy submitted Davis's paperwork to get him diplomatic status, only to have the Pakistani government ignore it?

The issue is, are we ready for open war against Pakistan? Because that's what they're working themselves up to, fitting it into the "White Colonialist Oppressor" meme.

#12 Pull every US person out of Pakistan, then start ARCLIGHTing the entire area until it's just one big pile of gravel - radioactive in some areas. It's time Pakistan felt some hurt - some SERIOUS hurt. I'm tired of a tribal, illiterate, arrogant, and just plain unsociable bunch of Neanderthal rejects making themselves a pain in MY a$$. "Phakestan" needs to cease to exist.

#13 The head of the ISI met with Leon Panetta today. Some of the things he demanded were to be informed of the names and missions of every US covert agent in Pakistan, and to be informed of all drone strikes beforehand.
