'US drone attacks in Pakistan must stop', 'victim' says

The second another country gets advanced weaponized drones and starts killing their own "terrorists" abroad just wait for America to claim some moral high ground and demand they stop.

America went down the wrong path on this one. Sets the standard for other countries to follow suit. Dangerous dangerous dangerous
 
Last week, the veil of silence was finally lifted when two of the most important and influential newspapers in the United States – the New York Times and the Washington Post – ran stories on a secret airbase in Saudi Arabia from which the US military has operated its 'drone war' campaign over Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen for the past two years.

However, as the story broke, it also came to light that reporters at both newspapers had known about the base long before the story went to print. They had agreed to conceal newsworthy information at the request of the US intelligence establishment, on the basis that reporting the truth would have harmed American national security interests.

Imagine how that makes Muslims feel, when they learn that the attacks that have killed so many innocent Muslims were launched from this place. I wouldn't even want to imagine how the families of the victims feel.

That's only in public. In private they are happy with it.

The Taliban have destroyed 750 schools in this region. Only the other day a bomb destroyed a school and killed 80 people.

Mysteriously nobody cares. And many parents keep their children home from school.

The drone strikes must stop the Taleban because the Pakistani army can't stop the Taleban

Destroying schools and bombing Shia people are two different cases. The bombing case that you mean was an anti Shia attack that not related to destroying girl schools.

Pakistani tribal area is a very unstable area. Taliban at there destroy many schools and cause fear among students and their parents. It's true, but actually it's Pakistani military and police duty to stop Taliban and creating a safe atmosphere in tribal area.

Maybe you don't know yet that Pakistan is the logistic route for Nato troops in Afghanistan, and Pakistani Taliban often 'disturb' the Nato supply. US send drones is because Taliban attack these supply, not because Taliban destroy schools.

Many of drone victims are innocent people who are not Taliban, even Pakistani soldiers were killed by drone attack too, it's because US is not selective when they shoot the target. Do you know that US have 'good reputation' in shooting wrong targets?

Like I've said, it's Pakistani military and police duty to stop Taliban and creating a safe atmosphere in tribal area. They could do better if they were 'independent'.
 
I don't think the Taliban are crazy y would they bomb schools ??

Its wht our stupid govt does n blames it on whoever they want.

Just like the blast that happened last nite in karachi

But from what I know they bomb the schools always when the schools are empty.

Yes, I don't think this report suggests otherwise. Nevertheless it indicates that the Mallala incident did not happen in isolation and that the Taliban are indeed conducting a war against education, or a certain kind of education. It seems to me the local people are suffering from both sides. It's a very confusing situation and I find it impossible to work out what's going on from all the reports. In my view, both the Taliban and the US are acting wrongly.
 
I don't trust BBC I know what's gng on in my country n tht malala thing is a drama.

I always find it funny how people sitting half a world away listening to kuffar propaganda start talking about this stuff as if they are the experts.
 
Far from banning drones, Pakistan is now building drones of its own:

"Pakistan launched its first domestically produced drones on Monday, as police cracked down on demonstrators protesting US drone strikes targeting Islamic militants on Pakistani territory."

"...the issue is complicated because the Pakistani government is known to have sanctioned some drone attacks but not others. Instead of carrying out the attacks themselves, Pakistan has asked the US to provide it with armed drones, saying that they would be more effective in carrying out attacks on militants. However, Washington has refused because of the sensitive nature of the technology used in drones and doubts whether Pakistan can reliably target US enemies."

Are you trying to make a point? Or do you make a point of missing the point?

Its hardly confidential information that the governing elites of Pakistan have collaborated with the USA in its Drone programme. And it has a long record of killing its own population as history shows.

All the publicity has been about Pakistan saying drones are immoral - yet here they are building their own. They are destroying their own argument. Perhaps you knew about it already but I'll bet awareness is low outside Pakistan.

Daft. This makes about as much sense as comparing the program with male bees because they're called drones too. The prototype Amazon drone is a courier, not a weapon.

Well, no. As Junon points out, the Pakistan government is complicit in the drone strikes despite its rhetoric to the contrary. Many of the targets are believed to be supplied by Pakistan intelligence, including some of those that lead to 'collateral damage'. But this news that Pakistan is trying to deploy its own drones makes any objection they might make based on principle impossible.
 
Pakistani govt. if complicit then out of direct order of the US to bomb their own people!
If they were making it to bomb little quaint villages in the US and UK then surely we'd all rejoice!
Golly mrs cleaver I've never known someone to write 50000 word essays much ado about nothing!
Cut the crap!

I have to agree with this. Pakistani government is entirely complicit in the crime against its own people. The whole rethoric is just deception to hide the blame. The only one who seems honest to stop the drones is imran khan when we talk about the poltiics.
