US ignores sanctity of sovereign state of Pakistan, sends drone bombs with penises painted on side
WIRED Magazine’s Danger Room has a new article:
Drone War’s Rules: Shoot First, Ask Permission Later
UMMMMMM. HMMMM. Does anybody look at these things before they get sent off? I doubt it…
Anywhooooooooooooo, back to the topic. US sending drones into Pakistan, WITHOUT the authorization of the sovereign (in charge of itself with rights to its future) state of Pakistan…
The U.S. isn’t just launching killer drone attacks on targets in Pakistan, from bases on Pakistani soil. It’s doing so without the individual authorization of the Pakistani government.
Before August, the CIA had to ask for Islamabad’s OK before launching any attack. The approvals often took “a day or more, sometimes causing the agency to lose track of the target,” the L.A. Times reports. But when Pakistani president and Bush administration ally Pervez Musharraf was forced to resign in August, Bush quickly approved “new rules: Rather than requiring Pakistan’s permission to order a Predator strike, the agency was allowed to shoot first.”
Are we still wondering why other countries hate us, when we send our drones in to attack, without permission? We’re not ‘at war’ with Pakistan. If Pakistan did the same to us, all hell would break loose.
Time to play clean, military boys…
