SocraticGadfly: Obama upping Predator strikes on Pakistan?

Obama upping Predator strikes on Pakistan?

It certainly appears he will continue the heavier pace of Predator attacks that started with the Bush Administration last August.

That said, if Pakistan is REALLY that upset about the strikes, all Islamabad has to do is forbid the U.S. from using Pakistani airbases, since we’ve stopped asking its permission.

The silence you hear is an indication that Pakistan is opting for the rock of Predator attacks versus the perceived instability of further regionalism in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and more direct assaults on the government.
