Pakistan bitches about US Predator Drone attacks

"We have conveyed our serious concerns over the continued drone attacks to the United States. These are not acceptable and must be stopped,"

Why is it that every time there is a successful Predator Drone attack the Pakistani government screams and shouts that the US should stop them because they're "counterproductive". Xinhuanet

ISLAMABAD, June 25 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan Thursday asked the United States to review its policy of drone attacks in its northwest tribal region, saying the attacks are counterproductive.

"We would continue to convey the concern of the people of Pakistan to the United States," Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said at weekly press briefing in Islamabad.

Earlier this week U.S drone aircraft struck two areas in South Waziristan bordering Afghanistan, killing 60 people, including the participants of a funeral of a slain Taliban commander.
