More wedding parties going to be hit with these cowardly drone attacks?

I though Obama would stop this beastly slaughter and let the Afghans go back to a peacefull existence.

"cowardly drone attacks"

Perhaps you'd rather be enslaved/liked by the Taliban? Sheesh...

Yeah, enslaved/killed by the Taliban? Sheesh...

Mission creep???That's a new one...usually situations change, and that affects the mission. If you don't adapt to the situation, you lose. Mission creep...wonder who coined that term thinking the American public would buy into it???

the remnants of al-Qaida

Exactly what does this mean? How has fighting Taliban in Afghanistan gutted al-Qaida?

to refocus on eliminating al-Qaida instead of mounting a major military escalation in Afghanistan

Oh, has the US lost focus after mysteriously only remnants of al-Qaida are left?

Obama emphasized that disrupting al-Qaida is his “core goal”

Eliminate the "remnants" by disrupting them?

One of the White House officials said that Mehsud, an al-Qaida ally, was targeted

Eliminate them by hitting their allies?

White House and Pentagon officials have debated the best way to defeat al-Qaida

How about defeat them through disruption, leading to the elimination of remnants?

No wonder Obama has said he needs more time to review the strategy. There doesn't seem to be one, so first it has to be devised before he can review it.

ChrisBiggins would you prefer Carpet Bombing over drone hits? Have another toke and curse America your savior.
