Details of the attack, which occurred in Makeen, remained unclear, but the reported death toll was exceptionally high. If the reports are indeed accurate and if the attack was carried out by a drone, the strike would be perhaps the deadliest since the United States began using the aircraft to fire remotely guided missiles at members of theTaliban and Al Qaeda in the tribal areas of Pakistan. If confirmed, the strike would be the 23rd by a United States drone this year, as the Obama administration has intensified a policy inherited from the Bush administration. (...) If I was from Pakistan I would be very pissed off...

Well it was one of Obama's campaign promises.
He said if he had what he believed to be actionable intellegence in Afghanistan he would bomb the country with or without the governments approval.
Me... I disagreed with that stance.
Most people applauded him for his "tough stance on terrorism."
Anyone think he's just following the bush plan or doing something Clinton or McCain would do... you weren't paying enough attention to the election.
