According to my monitoring, billions of persons all over the world receive the mortgage loans at different banks. Thus, there's good possibilities to receive a short term loan in all countries.

Wait a minute, doesn't Pakistan have nukes and a large army?   They have modern F-16s with working radar, the drones used are not stealth drones so they should be able to locate them easily.   And with even all that firepower they can't stop a silly drone?........

Most countries have a government that has a military. In Pakistan, its a military that has a government. No joke. The military functions almost complete ly independentl y of the country. At a whim, the military will execute regime change or put the country under martial law. This system has kept Pakistan sovere ign for a long time, as the military has the countrys interests at heart...while politicians...
Bu t the reason Pakistan "protests" but nothing happens is because the CIA and ISI have reached some sort of agreement permitting these attacks. The civilian Pakistani government "protests, expresses anger, ect"....as should any government reacting to a foreign intervention without diplomatic support for it. But because the government answers to the military, their anger over it can only go so far. Pakistan receives billions from Washington in military aid every year. Since that money goes to the military, and they call the shots, you can see how the "drone deal" works out.
Recent outrage by Pakistan against the USA over the accidental airstike on one of the Pakistani army outposts is proof of this. Their military gets very upset when some of their own are killed. they had to send a message to the west, but they still allow CIA/ISI drone attacks, because stopping them would cut off billions $$$ of aid to the military.

"a US drone strike killed three suspected militants in the Pakistani northwest tribal region, AP news agency reports on Thursday"

To any US citizens who might still think that when their local news agencies refer to "suspected militants", "targets", "suspected terrorists" et cetera, that those terms imply any likelihood of guilt or malice on the part of the dead, imagine this situation unfolding in a police station near you:

"We found three suspects for that murder case last week-"
"Kill them!"
"Okay, they're dead. Oh wait, it turns out they all had very reputable alibis for the whole day, but good news is we found a couple more suspects-"
"Kill them!"
etc.

No lineups, no questionings, no courts, just mass-murder paid for by you. Replace the BS labels by western news agencies with more accurate ones like "humans" or "men, women and children".

Th e comments by the Pakistani Foreign Minister come as no surprise or news, as revenge for lost loved-ones is one of the most famous motivations for people in oppressed countries to go to war.

The main driver of the Middle East economy - oil - has been declining for the past two decades and is now undergoing spectacular falls in production as the world adjusts to the reality of peak oil.Following years of disruption and a race to avert catastrophe, viable alternatives for humanity's energy needs have become a realistic prospect. Algae biofuel is leading the way.Solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy have also borne fruit. With nanotechnology being applied to panels, together with plummeting costs, solar energy has seen exponential uptake.Energy storage systems have made progress alongside this, allowing solar to be used even at night time.* Electric cars are becoming widespread too, accounting for more than half of new vehicles on American roads.No longer funded by the West's limitless demand for oil, the Middle East is collapsing into a largely poverty-ridden, internally feuding region. A "brain drain" ensues, as it falls back into relative insignificance.

They kill anyone and blame them as terrorists or even radicals, with no evidence at all. I hope your family get killed and raped as well one day.

   &n bsp; I disagree, the drone strikes are good, they keep the terrorists afraid & on the run.  Pakistan is not going to get those terrorists, they side with them.  The U.S has to go to thse lengths, because Pakistan won't do it , Hell no they won't!!!.  Off coarse others are going to take the place of killed terrorists, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep the pressure on them & Keep them on the run. Remember we are killing their leaders, not them ours, so who has the upper hand??
