U.S. drone strike kills 45 in Pakistan

And this on the heels of a report saying that the U.S will limit Predator Drone Attacks in Pakistan ! I don't agree with limiting the Strikes , I believe they should step it up a few Notches , But as long as the Quality of the Limited strikes are Like this Then , it will be O.K. !


PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - A U.S. drone killed at least 45 Pakistani Taliban militants on Tuesday when it struck after a funeral of an insurgent commander killed earlier in the day, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

U.S. ally Pakistan officially objects to the strikes by pilotless U.S. aircraft though the attack came as the Pakistani army is preparing an offensive against Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud in South Waziristan on the Afghan border.
The next target is Mehsud.

"Three missiles were fired by drones as people were dispersing after offering funeral prayers for Niaz Wali," one intelligence official said referring to a Taliban commander who was one of six militants killed in an earlier drone attack.

The army had no information on the attack on the funeral in the remote area under Mehsud's control, a military official said.

Baitullah , is tucked in the Fetal Position , trying to kiss his ass Goodbye !
