79. Then perhaps they should take an active role in rooting out the radicals themselves.

And sorry but my problem with Bush wasn't him chasing al-queda and the taliban it was that he completely ignored them and went after Sadam instead.

Oh brother.. it's clown car time again on DU.. just in time for the election. progressivebydesign Sep 2012 #1
Sure, just a few dozen more innocents will be killed in Pakistan by then, MadHound Sep 2012 #3
How many more innocents will be killed if Mitt and crew are elected? NightWatcher Sep 2012 #5
And do you think Obama, or any other politician for that matter, MadHound Sep 2012 #9

Pakistan supports drone attacks: Hina Rabbani Khar ProSense Sep 2012 #2
Funny how you provide a quote that is in my OP as some sort of defense. MadHound Sep 2012 #6
"Khar said Pakistan does not disagree with the drones being used to go after terrorists." ProSense Sep 2012 #7
No, this is what Khar actually said, MadHound Sep 2012 #11
And yet, they still take our money. Khar knows the dance--the ruling party accepts USA money, msanthrope Sep 2012 #13
So you think it is OK to kill innocents and install an era of terror in Waziristan, MadHound Sep 2012 #21
OK is a fairly puerile word, indicating a facile dichotomy of good vs bad. msanthrope Sep 2012 #28
Way to try and tap dance around my question. MadHound Sep 2012 #50
I invite you to ask better questions. nt msanthrope Sep 2012 #53
Why? You obviously aren't going to provide a straight answer to anything I ask, MadHound Sep 2012 #56
“What the drones are trying to achieve, we may not disagree. We do not disagree." ProSense Sep 2012 #48
Speaing of taking out of context, MadHound Sep 2012 #51
If they were really outraged, they'd stop taking our money. And if Bush had done this early msanthrope Sep 2012 #12
Wow, the hypocrisy of your post is stunning, MadHound Sep 2012 #22
No--Bush failed to stabilize Afghanistan. Look at a map. You don't msanthrope Sep 2012 #34
As, so killing innocents and terrorizing an entire province is how you secure that border, MadHound Sep 2012 #52
Why is that we need to stabilize Afghanistan, other than to save face? Hippo_Tron Sep 2012 #67
I would think to make sure the country... SilveryMoon Sep 2012 #69
Terrorist organizations will just get aid from elsehwere Hippo_Tron Sep 2012 #70
I agree. SilveryMoon Sep 2012 #77
Everyone fails when trying to stabilize Afghanistan. NCTraveler Sep 2012 #91
Those polls are looking pretty dire, eh? nt msanthrope Sep 2012 #14
Ding! Ding! Ding! It's getting more frantic by the day, and it's predictable. Tarheel_Dem Sep 2012 #64
But..but..the drone killings are the only way to win..er..not lose..er...cover our defeat. Tierra_y_Libertad Sep 2012 #15
Just a reminder... OldDem2012 Sep 2012 #16
So you're an eye for an eye person, eh. MadHound Sep 2012 #23
Then they should stop taking our money, and kick us the hell out. It's that simple. Tarheel_Dem Sep 2012 #65
Kick us the hell out? MadHound Sep 2012 #84
I hope you're putting this much effort into getting your candidate elected. great white snark Sep 2012 #17
You drop an "r"? Robb Sep 2012 #39
Are you saying I'm a troll? MadHound Sep 2012 #54
Honestly, I just haven't made up my mind yet. Robb Sep 2012 #71
Wow, eleven years on this place and you haven't made your mind up yet, MadHound Sep 2012 #86
See, that's trolling. Robb Sep 2012 #92
Pakistan could shoot down our drones if they wanted to metalbot Sep 2012 #18
Well, frankly, I think that Pakistan is being the bigger country about this, MadHound Sep 2012 #24
Exactly the reason we occupy Iran today. ieoeja Sep 2012 #42
Yeah, let's get that Romney-Ryan thing on. I want to see how Skidmore Sep 2012 #19
Well, I happen to think that stopping these illegal drone attacks would go a long way to help, MadHound Sep 2012 #25
You need to read more about this before going off half-cocked Blue_Roses Sep 2012 #20
If our president finds this to be so horrific, why doesn't he put an immediate end to it? MadHound Sep 2012 #27

Sounds like a good topic to discuss on November 7th, but hughee99 Sep 2012 #37
I know that you want to have a broader discussion on drones, and that is fine but grantcart Sep 2012 #41
Best reply in thread. ieoeja Sep 2012 #44
I wouldn't call repeated calls by Pakistani officials to stop the drone attacks tacit approval, MadHound Sep 2012 #58
Having negotiated many deals with officials in the Pakistani Govt and other Gvts in the region grantcart Sep 2012 #66
Well, if you actually have negotiated many agreements with Pakistan and others, MadHound Sep 2012 #85
Well when it comes to creative dissonance you really take the cake. grantcart Sep 2012 #90
DU has sold its soul. woo me with science Sep 2012 #43
In MadHound's defense, this is just anti-war propaganda, not right-wing propaganda. ieoeja Sep 2012 #45
Madhound is absolutely in the right here. woo me with science Sep 2012 #46
Opposing it is not propaganda. Pretending that a public denial of a supposed secret is. ieoeja Sep 2012 #63
Wow, such comtempt for DU over a ProSense Sep 2012 #47

What's worse is that this attitude was entirely predictable. MadHound Sep 2012 #59
Question: where do you get the notion that this started with the "third way"? Hippo_Tron Sep 2012 #68
Constant spewing of anti Dem propaganda used to be grounds for tombstoning here, too. dionysus Sep 2012 #72
