Drone Attacks

Some of the results of the US missile firing drone attacks in the western tribal section of Pakistan are yielding negative results. Clearly if you are George Bush, this does not matter and you "stay the course." But now there is a new guy. Will he adjust or will he escalate this new war.

McClatchy: Do U.S. drones kill Pakistani extremists or recruit them?
...the missile-firing drones are a recruiting boon for extremists because of the unintended civilian casualties that have prompted widespread anger against the U.S.

This just pisses off people and is also seen as cowardice by the natives. O has to realize he's playing the white man's game here and it might as well be 1891 @ Wounded Knee. These people might be nutz but they have the right to be as nutz as they want as long as they don't try to whack us. Drooping hell-fire missiles on them with scant Intell. and a kulture on the ground of back stabbing MOFOS is more then dangerous it's stupid.IMHO

I think you are right. I wonder if any big deal academic types have calculated where America would be now if we had a smaller military budget and a wise government.

The rt. wing has made very large inroads in the academic world these last 30 yrs. They now have legions of Profs. that rap their rap day and night. I know some of them.
