U.S. Military drones killed four people in northwestern Pakistan on Feb. 24. Under the Obama administration, the U.S. has carried out 69 drone attacks on the country, with 15 strikes in the first two months of 2010 alone. During the entire Bush presidency, the U.S. carried out 45 unmanned bombings on the population.
The drone attacks are responsible for over 1,000 deaths and are deeply unpopular. According to research by the New America Foundation, 91 percent of Pakistanis oppose the use of drones. Fifty-nine percent of those polled, responded that the U.S. was the greatest threat to the country’s security.
U.S. military and government officials have refused to comment on military action in Pakistan and have made no promises to stop expanding war there.
The Pentagon claims to be fighting terrorism in Pakistan. This is a lie. The deadly drones are being flown over the region in the name of U.S. domination. U.S. out of Pakistan now!
