Unmanned U.S. plane bombs targets in Pakistan
St Petersburg News.Net Saturday 21st November, 2009
Pakistani officials say a suspected U.S. drone attack has killed at least eight people, including foreign militants, in the country's northwest.
The officials say two missiles were fired at a compound being used by suspected Taliban militants in Mir Ali village, in North Waziristan, a region on the Afghanistan-border that is a militant stronghold.
U.S. military officials do not confirm such attacks, but its armed forces and CIA employees in Afghanistan are the only forces that deploy pilotless drones in the region.
The head of the CIA, Leon Panetta, was in Pakistan Friday for talks with Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani. The prime minister's office said Mr. Gilani stressed that U.S. policy in Afghanistan take into account Pakistan's concerns.
The statement also said the two men agreed to "operational functioning" among their two militaries and intelligence agencies to fight terrorism.
Meanwhile, Pakistani officials say a remote-controlled bomb ripped through a police vehicle in the northwestern city of Peshawar, killing two police officers instantly, while a third died later of his injuries.
That bombing on Friday came less than 24 hours after a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a court building in Peshawar, killing at least 19 people and wounding more than 36 others.
Militant attacks have surged in the northwest since Pakistan launched a major anti-Taliban offensive in the lawless tribal region of South Waziristan in mid-October.
Military officials say around 500 militants and seventy soldiers have been killed since the offensive began.
The reports cannot be independently verified because journalists and rights groups are barred from the battlefield. Email this story to a friend

U.S. bombing kills eight in northwest Pakistan
While we in the US GO ABOUT KILLING IN A COWARDLY FASHION, other Peoples are going about helping Peoples.
Consider what the world would be like if the Powerful countries were not greedy! Instead were mode like Cuba or even better than Cuba! See the following Article for a current Cuban effort to help peoples, and then ask yourself when was the US ACTING IN SUCH A RESPONSIBLE WAY? We certainly like to develop high tech medicines for Profits, high Profits, but not to help Peoples in the manner of the Cubans!
The Article:
Cuba to begin initiate clinical trials of vaccine against pneumococcus
Iris de Armas Padrino and Anneris Ivette Leiva
CONCEPCION Campa, member of the Political Bureau and director of the Finlay Institute, announced yesterday that Cuba is to begin the first clinical trial of the vaccine against pneumococcus next year.
In a roundtable on advances in Cuban biotechnology at the Global Heath Investigation Forum, currently taking place in Havana, Dr. Campa stated that the combined heptavalent vaccine is being developed by that institution and the Center of Biomolecular Chemistry.
Literature on the subject suggests that pneumococcus is an almost exclusively human pathogen that causes various infections (pneumonia, sinusitis, and peritonitis, among others) and severe invasive processes, like meningitis and septicemia, particularly in the elderly, children, and the immunocompromised.
Campa highlighted that they have received pre-approval from the World Health Organization for placing these immunogens at the service of Cuba and also other nations.
She reiterated the impact on national public health of the 10-plus vaccines produced over the last 20 years, which have resulted in a decrease of infant mortality figures.
During the event, Gill Samuels, president of the Council of the Global Forum Foundation, praised Cuba’s emphasis on both healthcare and education.

Response to ~galljdaj+
You must be living under a rock! 1st, the United States of America has the most generous people on earth. If you don’t know this then I would question if you even live in this country. 2nd, to accuse our brave Military men and women of a cowardly act upon terrorists begs to question your loyalties to your stated country. I would suggest that if you like Cuba so much then you should catch the next boat back to the that communist run country and enjoy all the pleasures they afford. I am sure the regime now in power there will welcome any unpatriotic expressions you may have about their country.

Well patriot61, about all you have done/said amounts to your ignorances!!
I don’t and have never been critical of Our Enlisted Military Personnel, even those that have clearly violated Our Law! And the reason, which I have stated numerous times and ways on this site is; The enlisted have no choice, they follow commands or get prosecuted or worse for not following Orders! Commissions have a choice, i.e., they can resign! If they fail to resign, and commit criminal acts they are to be prosecuted! They are cowards, i.e., for engaging in the Murders of Our Neighbors rather than following Our Clear Law!
Explain the generousity to the blanket Bombing of Afghanistan! The attacks on Afghanis! The Iraqis! The contaminations of both countries! There is a long list, do you need more to explain what the generousity is?
I will guess you think that all the aid monies are generosities. If I am correct in my guess, explain how it is we get rich while the Peoples of the aided countries get poorer? The aid is not about helping those countries but about extracting the resources we want at a very low cost!
So go ahead and explain how all the bad things are happening through that great generosity. Our National Disgrace is not coming from the majority of American Hearts, and I fully agree with you on that basis. Our Leaders, corporate and political, are a different matter! Our Problem and how it is you and I are 'dirty' is for allowing this Leadership to happen and go unpunished!

What can be more 'non specific' and cowardly than anonymous?
The cowardly poster, 3:02am, may be simply ignorant of Our Law and how it becomes Law of the Land and Our Rule of Law, however I have posted the facts and procedure before, and since the same coward has read it, Its more like his regular cowardly lie!
The Wars of agreesion begun by lil bush, his fathe daddy bush, and wonderful ronnie, were all 'wars and murders' prohibitted by the UN Charter, that We the US are a signator of! And approved into Our Constitutional Law by Our Congress and Signed into Law by Our Presisdent. And that law says its Murder to begin a war and kill Peoples of another Nation! Its criminal! Its Our Law! And 'Lies' do not make it acceptable to Murder! Nor does it make Murder acceptable to 'conspire' for War!

Your continued ignorance and beligerant posts are only talking half the story up.
What about Democrat hands in the cookie jar are you foolishly absolving the other side of the aisle?
What about people like Boxer, Reid, Fienstien and Pelosi who have made massive amounts of money from the Industrial war machine.
You lose any shred of objectivity and dwell in the partisan hack territory more often then not.
Can’t you shed the false left right Paradigm?
Don’t listen to what they say watch what they do.
Republicans attacked out of country and anyone speaking out against wars.
Democrats attack within their country and have silenced all opposition to war.
Has Barry repealed the Patriot act?
Barry is working on silencing all opposition to his Marxist policies!
Enemies lists are even now being created!!!!!
He wanted knock and talks done on people who opposed his healthcare power grabs!
Both engage in foreign wars Republicans are up front about it.
Democrats pretend they are anti-war but bang the drums behind the scenes and make mass profits from every war fought.
Now they are carrying a war to the American people in the form of Carbon taxes, industry destroying regulations , secret police, cradle to grave control of health care, gun bans, Constitution destroying legislation, attacks on personal liberty and a host of freedom sapping legislation.
Stop posting nonsense you prove over and over to be the village fool.
Tyranny has a face and it’s symbol is the donkey and anyone who follows it is a jackass.

I am not an have not discussed those issues! I have talked about the leadership of starting War Crimes that are against Our Constitutional Law.
If you want to absolve yourself tell the truth and keep to the point! Muderous bombings! Of which I named the Leadership of which such occured and at their Direction. Your Politic are the cookie jar!
You could have brought up there were only eleven honest Democrats that voted against the Murdering Wars of lil bush! I don’t remember the number for daddy bush’s one war was, but there was no vote on his other war, while wonderful ronnie committed his in the dark secret methods! No democrats voted at all!
You on the other hand said nothing about the subject being discussed, just entering and attempting to remove your shame by making others dirty! A cowards repose is your positional lot!

You would see that I said Barry O our commander in grief was going to expand the war into Pakistan!
In fact I believe you told me I was full of it shall we dig back a year or so and find several of my posts saying war was coming to Pakistan?
This is but a furtherance of what I knew was coming!
Pakistan is a cesspool and hot bed of Sunni madrassas which are brainwashing camps for the training of terrorism and Talibanesque inhumanity training camps.
Sorry lil girliejihad I’m calling you out!
As always your full of it and yet you point that withered dirty old pruney finger at others.

enator Feinstein’s War Profiteering
by Joshua Frank
It happens all the time. If the antiwar movement takes on the Democrats for their bitter shortcomings, a few liberals are bound to criticize us for not hounding Bush instead. It doesn’t even have to be an election year to get the progressives fired up. They just don’t seem to get it. “How can you attack the Democrats when we have such a bulletproof administration ruling the roost in Washington?" somebody recently e-mailed me. “Don’t you have something better to do than write this trash?!"
Well, not really. It’s too cold in upstate New York right now to do anything other than fume over the liberal villains in Washington. “Why do I write about the putrid Democratic Party?" I responded, “I’ll tell you, there’s a reason this Republican administration is so damn bulletproof – nobody from the opposition party is taking aim and pulling the trigger."
And that’s why the Dems are just as culpable in all that has transpired since Bush took office in 2000. They aren’t just a part of the problem – the Democrats are the problem.
I mean, who is really all that surprised Bush and his boys wanted to conquer the Middle East? Not me. That’s just what unreasonable neocons do: they stomp out the little guy, kill off the weak, and suffocate the voiceless. They only care about the girth of their wallets and the number of scalps they can tack above their mantles.
The Democrats aren’t just letting the Republicans get away with murder, however: some of them are also reaping the benefits of the Bush wars. We constantly hear about Dick Cheney’s ties to Halliburton and how his ex-company is making bundles off U.S. contracts in Iraq. But what we don’t hear about is how Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and her husband are also making tons of money off the “war on terror."
The wishy-washy senator now claims Bush misled her prior to the invasion of Iraq. I don’t think she’s being honest with us, though. There may have been other reasons she helped sell Bush’s lies. According to the Center for Public Integrity, Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum has racked in millions of dollars from Perini, a civil infrastructure construction company, of which the billionaire investor wields a 75 percent voting share.
In April 2003, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave $500 million to Perini to provide services for Iraq’s Central Command. A month earlier in March 2003, Perini was awarded $25 million to design and construct a facility to support the Afghan National Army near Kabul. And in March 2004, Perini was awarded a hefty contract worth up to $500 million for “electrical power distribution and transmission” in southern Iraq.
Feinstein, who sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee as well as the Select Committee on Intelligence, is reaping the benefits of her husband’s investments. The Democratic royal family recently purchased a $16.5 million mansion in the flush Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. It’s a disgusting display of war profiteering, and just like Cheney, the leading Democrat should be called out for her offense.
And that’s exactly why the Bush administration is so darn bulletproof. The Democratic leadership in Washington is just as crooked and just as callous.

everyone understood ...
...you are trying to absolve yours and the republican’s guilt for starting the war by now blaming Obama! Of course we are still murdering with Obama, and you have read my posts that have condemned Obama for continuing the Murders! So now you lie about it!
The point I make is the Murderous plot(s) were the work of republicans, and not initiated as in responsibility of democrats. Certainly there are democratics that took opportunities to stuff their pockets. However they did not begin murdering to do just that! you and the gang you supported did that. And you are dishonest about those points! you want minor in comparison criminals to be blamed! A cowards way is where you stand!
I CARE ABOUT THE MURDERED AND THE VICTIMS THAT ARE PAYING YOUR PRICE! You fail at every human respect, saying things like 'bad things happen in wars, so its not murder'. Well its still murder, and it murder for Obama also! That’s no news flash!
But you being a coward that wants to shout from the back of the crowd, are shouting about Obama, and profiteers! Well if you were honest about bringing up the profiteering, you would have to begin your shouts with baker and the lil bush gang! But you didn’t, which shows clearly your purpose and dishonesty!

You sure like to throw the word coward around such a brave little internet tough guy...NOT.
Your beliefs are yours and yours alone to bad your patently full of crap.
Poor old tired man you have no clue.
Again I supported ousting Saddam doing so rectified a mistake by previous administrations supporting, arming, funding and being in bed with the guy.
He had spunk but the world is a better place now that they stretched his scurvy neck.
I never supported Afghanistan nor the escalation of war in Pakistan.
I do support putting a bullet between the eyes of every Al Qeada, Hamas, Hezbollah, AlAqsa Brigade, PLF, PLO and Taliban member we can find on the merits of the world being a better place with the above stamped into the dust.
What I don’t support are full scale shooting wars to acomplish this task.
Good thing your hero President Bush has repealed assassinations being illegal!
The twenty five cent solution makes far more sense then the 1 trillion dollar one.
Ain’t freedom of speech grand!
