Does The CIA Acts For The Common Defence In Leadership Targets?
According to this report the following is true.
Pakistani officials on Saturday angrily condemned a purported CIA air strike meant to target Al Qaeda's No. 2 man, saying he wasn't there and "innocent civilians" were among at least 17 men, women and children killed in a village near the Afghan border.
I am not fond of these assassination attempts by our government as they seem so incompetent and wasteful of civilian life. My general opinion is that we are fed false information on a regular basis and we act on it. This aids the enemy.
But the attack in Damadola was the latest in a string of incidents on Pakistan's side of the border in recent weeks that many people suspect were U.S. assaults that violated this Islamic country's sovereignty.
We have been known to violate other countries sovereignty in the past for what we believed was the general welfare. This would definitely be justified according to the Constitution if the tip was very solid. I just remember how solid the evidence for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was and how many leadership targets came up blank during the conquest of Iraq.
It is possible that we are getting better at targeting these leadership assassinations but we have to remember that Pakistan is our “friend” and be careful that we do not cause more trouble than we solve.
