First strike: 10 dead as Obama aims missiles at Pakistan-Afghanistan border, Taliban enclaves

Killing solves nothing!

Firstly, Obama probably did not even know about the drones. Secondly, Pakistan has the right to protect their own border and prevent insurgents to enter Pakistan mainland. Thirdly, "terrorists" do not exist in the sense that the US government poison their people and the rest of the World to believe. Watch the Zeitgeist movie.

This is very encouraging. Pakistan was warned. And besides, there doesn't seem to be much of a border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. This is where the people who planned and carried out the attack on the USA on Sept.11, 2001. This is where our attention should have been focused for the past 7 years. Bravo Obama administration!

Barack the Bomber?

There's a new Sheriff in town. and thank God. and further .. it is not a white guy .. all the better.

We gotta get together on this stuff people. Me and Tom Hanks .. white .. born in Oakland. Mabe you forget, about when the British colony of India, was split up after WWII. The division of the Ottoman empire after WWI .. or the creation of the state of Isreael in 1948.

Obama needs to be firm on this stuff. Bush had 7 years to find .. whatever. And to you other "factions" that think that we americans wish you harm, I can simply only admonish you .. give this guy some time.

While we may favor messengers of our creator in different laws .. from different books, I chose my login name here, from the ancient sanskrit of 6,000 years ago. Way, before chirstians, and jews, and islamics.

It is Jyotti ..which means .. inner light. The inner light, within you. You were born with it. You are of course, conflicted with current events. We all have our opinions.

So, as a surviving Viet Nam veteran, I say, give this guy a chance, and further, the jyotti thing. The inner light .. not rocket science .. in your heart of hearts, You know what is right. I say .. give him a chance.

no new story here, Obama ran on a campaign of going after terrorists in Pakistan over a war in iraq that began on false pretenses.

Obama should continue to follow in Bush's footsteps and chase down and kill these terrorist bastards.

One of the few rational things Obama has done so far.

And yes it is extremely funny to read many of the posts on Current in relation to this. Where they once slammed W. for the same action they now praise Obama.

Hell, at least I'm consistent.

What provoked this sudden attack?

It is a political ploy

Wow, I think though he might actually be looking for the guy instead of letting him go every time like Bush. Listen, this is a man with a big heart, with a lot of facts, I don't think he is attacking anyone who doesn't deserve it. I just wish there were no kids around ever.

Not a good sign.

There is no "border" between Afghanistan and Pakistan. That line you see on maps is just something topographers cooked up to make their jobs easier.

What were their crimes , does anyone know? Were they all "Terrorist"? Just as Bush was , I guess Obama is now the Judge , the Jury and the Executioner.

it wont work im all for killing these guys but until the majority of islam decide that radicalism cant be tolerated they will persist.A normal muslim saying I don't agree with there methods BUT I can understand why they are angry is the term that keeps islamofacism alive forever

Pakistan has had how long to fix this problem? And only truly started to do something about it when the Mumbai incident happen.
Whatever the case may be, I just hope we're out of the middle-east very soon.

Good to see Obama going after the terrorists

Crossing a border to bomb suspected militants is not a wise thing to do, unless there is an agreement between those nations.
There is no agreement between the US and Pakistan.
The bombings are illegal by any standard.
I would hope that Obama will now try to get the cooperation of the Pakistani government, so that the US will no longer be invading another nation, as in Iraq.

I think Obama is smart enough to know that Osama bin Laden has been dead for years. Why he keeps playing along with the media's fictitious accounts of bin Laden still being alive is beyond me.

The government of Pakistan has not been doing a good job of collecting or killing these extremist, the safety of the free world is at stake when these extremist are given a safe haven too thrive. I know the thought of a victory over an Ideology is absurd but President Obama will keep the pressure on these hideouts.

Why would you say that violating a sovereign country's airspace (an act of war) with unmanned drones is a good idea? What about letting the government of Pakistan handle their extremists without our involvement?

This targeting of militants in Pakistan has been going on all year under Bush. The media is just propping up this attack behind Obama to make him look tough and in control.
