US planning air strikes in Quetta, Pakistan

The News International, Pakistan writes in its issue of Monday, September 28, 2009:

RAWAPINDI: The United States is threatening to launch air strikes on Mullah Omar and the Taliban leadership in Quetta as frustration mounts about the ease with which they (allegedly) find sanctuary across the border from Afghanistan, reports The Sunday Times.

The Biden camp argues that attacks by unmanned drones on Pakistan’s tribal areas, where al-Qaeda’s leaders are (believed to be) hiding, have been successful. Sending more troops to Afghanistan has only inflamed tensions.

That's the advantage of acquiring advanced technology. Why should America and NATO get their soldiers killed once they can use drones. Whether it suits Pakistan or not and how many innocent civilians get killed in the process is none of their concern. And, can Pakistan do something about it? I doubt it, certainly not, with present mindset of its rulers. Might is right!
