First Post-Obama Attack In Pakistan Kills 4 Al-Qaeda

PESHAWAR– At least ten people were killed in a suspected American missile attack in North Waziristan agency of Pakistan on Friday.

It was the first attack that took place after President Barack Obama’s entry in the office. Pakistani officials had expressed their hope that as president, Obama would stop the drone attacks.

It’s weird to have a president do so much in his first few days in office. As I recall, Bush was on vacation already, no?

    Made his bones already!

    And, it looks like he managed to miss hitting the wedding party.

    Hey, did you see that one of the detainees that was released from Gitmo joined up with al-Qaeda in Yemen and is the #2 man. Awesome.I guess that’s how you work your way up the terrorist ladder.

    How can we detain innocent people. They don’t really want to hurt us. They have rights too!!Free them all!!!!

    It was Bush bungling that let him go free. If Bush had prosecuted him according to the law, he’d most likely be in a US jail right now.

    Rrright …. let’s see what happens when the rest go free.

    “And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide.., the laws all being flat? “

  7. Andy says:

    Maybe had George Bush followed the law instead of paying games with it alot of this GITMO stuff would be behind us and the real terrorists would be convicted and in jail

  8. Truth Teller says:

    Hey H. after being held for 6 years in Gitmo with out being charged I would be pissed off also. Or maybe you think that it was just Bush’s way of making friends.

  9. anon says:

    h. doesn’t get it.

    If we subvert our laws to imprison these guys, the terrorists win.

    If we try these guys according to our laws, even if they go free, we win.

    Obama gets it.

    Why don’t people like h. ever refer to themselves as fascists? If you’re going to embrace fascism, you might as well own it.

  11. h. says:

    No I’m not a collectivist.. I don’t think National Socialism will ever work. I hate war. I just don’t like seeing the bad guys go free.

    I use to copy paste that headline (with regard to the attack obviously, not post Obama) every few weeks in 2002 in the Commander’s Update.

    Just because you guys were apathetic to any headline that didn’t involve a US death after Jan 2002, don’t think the war was not being fought in the AFG/Pak border.

    every few weeks in 2002

    Why, it’s Old-timey McGee, here to regale us with tales of the old days and offer us some hard candy! Back in 2002, the “Commander” over here was the Delawariest of the twelve or so political bloggers on the internet, and us young whippersnappers oughta show a little respect! Blogging was hard in those days, none of this fancy-shmancy WordPress crap!

    Now you kids better get the hell off John Feroce’s lawn!

    Oh my the new Prez attacks a soverign nation 3 days after his swearing in and no one here has a problem with it…..gee I thought liberals hated the whole concept of “pre emptive strikes”.

    Oh but its Obama,….so the libs give him a free pass…you are totally pathetic. I guess Obama will make the same mistakes as the c student. The war on terrorism is a bush side show, what happened to “diplomacy”….lib’s?

    I am one of many who believe this is a horrible thing….bet you right now…Afganistan will be Obama’s Iraq…this is horrible. When you check the backgrounds of Obamas team…loaded with zionists, council on foreign relations, clintonistas and war mongers….we just got a new set of neo cons…

    Adlib,

    Obama is getting his war crimes in early.
