PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) -- October 1, 2011

Pakistani and U.S. officials say an American missile strike near the Afghan border has killed an al-Qaida-linked Pakistani militant commander.
Two Pakistani intelligence officials said Saturday the commander, Haleem Ullah, was among three militants killed in a U.S. missile strike in South Waziristan on Friday.
A U.S. official says Ullah served as deputy to Maulvi Nazir, a
Pakistani who leads a group of militants in the tribal region that
is closely allied with al-Qaida.
He says the group works with al-Qaida commanders to direct
cross-border operations against the U.S. and NATO forces in
Afghanistan.
The officials spoke on anonymity because they were not
authorized to talk to media on record.

Associated Press writer Matt Apuzzo in Washington contributed to
this report.

You have it wrong, just like always, Breeze. Your lack of contribution to anything, especially public discourse, is truly amazing. Breeze is yet one more example of what happens when for too long, a mediocre mind is exposed to Rush Limbaugh.

What you call "thinking" is merely the regurgitating of hysterical democratic hypocritical rhetoric. Obama and his administration is the reason we have the problems we have today; for you to refuse to recognize this and to blame Mr Bush is typical for narcissistic hypocrites like you and your left-wing/communist "liberal" brethren.

Wow! I can't believe what I'm reading. Democrats praising Obama for the same thing they condemned Bush for. What a bunch of hypocrites. Speaking of drones, you Democrats are good ones.
