ISLAMABAD- Yet another drone strike on a refugee camp in Pakistan by USreveals that US is asking Pakistan to shoot down its drone and give US anexcuse to hit Pakistan.
US could have given Pakistan the intelligence information and Pakistancould have eliminated the terrorists on its soil but instead US again wentfor drone strike just to hit Pakistan on its sovereignty. Pakistan is verymuch capable of shooting down its drone and US should not test Pakistanpatience.
Confronting US is not Pakistan’s desire and neither it may prove good forPakistan but given no choice and pushing to the extreme corner a tippingpoint may come sooner than thought.
US should not miscalculate the outcome as its neither Syria, Iraq orAfghanistan.
However bringing the tipping point earlier may be the US Generals strategyfor Pakistan.
“The drone attack in Pakistan is a clear violation of internationalborder. The United States has been using drone since long, but enough isenough.
The target accuracy of drone strikes is also not very good and precise.Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed in drone strikes insidePakistan.
Pakistan has always been a good ally of the US in the war on terror butsuch acts of drone strikes without taking Pakistan’s prior consent is aviolation of country’s sovereignty.
Drone attacks must be stopped immediately. The current government isdealing with the US administration wisely.
Pakistan has expressed its willingness to extend counter terrorismcooperation to the US, but any US drone strike in the territory of Pakistanis unacceptable.”
