I've taken a lot of shots from this board and these postings. That's one reason for the comments being censored. I want to keep this site PG-13. But over the last few months I've taken more crap than a Taco Bell toilet. Most of it centers around the fact that there isn't one remotely positive post regarding the POTUS. In response, I would like to give due credit when earned.
It took Obama several weeks to stop wavering on a decision regarding the troop levels in Afghanistan, but finally he gave in and stood up to the hardcore left and began to properly fund and devote resources at the requests of commanders in Afghanistan. In doing so, there has been an increase in covert activity that involves chasing the enemy across the border and into Pakistan. US airstrikes in Pakistan, launched from unmanned drones, are now averaging three a week, triple the number last year.
"For the past month drones have pounded the tribal region of North Waziristan in apparent retaliation for the murder of seven CIA officers in Afghanistan by a Jordanian suicide bomber working with the Pakistani Taliban," according to Times Online UK. "
"Last week America launched its first multiple drone attack, according to Pakistani security officials. Eighteen missiles were fired from eight unmanned aircraft in Dattakhel village, killing 16 people. The discovery of the dead US soldiers revealed that America’s shadowy war in Pakistan not only involves drones but also small cadres of special operations soldiers."
Even though the term is banned, I'm glad to see the War on Terror is getting what it needs for now. So to all you leftards who think I'm narrow minded and can't find anythig positive to say, stick this in your hat! Good Job on this one, Obama!
