Just as was expected, and just like former President of the USA Bill Clinton did with Iraq, Barrack Hussain Obama has endorsed deadly drone attacks inside Pakistani territory.

This follows the killing of 22 people in a drone attack yesterday on which the Pakistani government, like always, has protested and condemned. We all know how sincere these protests and condemnations are, but that is not the issue for now.

It is reported that Obama convened his first meeting over National security issues over Pakistan and Afghanistan which concluding with a presidential endorsement of the drone attacks.

Speaking of statistics, 28 drone attacks since last year have left around 132 people dead. Over one hundred of these casualties are officially confirmed to have been civilians, who had nothing to do with terrorism.

This raises a few questions over the commitment of the People’s party government in Islamabad towards the safeguard of our territorial sovereignty and the source(s) of intelligence US forces act upon to launch these drone attacks.

This situation is alarming and we need to put our act together, NOW!
