The Associated Press is reporting that an unmanned drone, operated by US-Coalition forces, dropped missiles on a suspected Islamic militant hideout along the Pakistan and Afghan border. It is unknown whether or not the man targeted was killed. State television reported there were about 20 total fatalities.

First off, I support the US pursuing Islamic militants. I think the region this attack occurred in should be the focal point of offensive action in the War on Terror. It's where Public Enemy No. 1 is, we're told. The problem I have is with the efficiency and tactics used by the Pentagon. An unmanned drone dropping missiles from the sky? 20 people killed, none of which we can confirm was the target? When did fighting terrorism become a video game?

Poor US intelligence left us vulnerable to 9/11. Poor US intelligence led us into Iraq. When will US intelligence get back on track? Remember the good ol' days when we armed Osama, bought off Saddam and Charlie Wilson won a war? I guess I'm just wondering where the covert operations have gone? We're spending billions buying off muslims around the globe when we should be converting loyal Americans into undercover, quais-muslims. Pentagon operations should be focused on training our own forces to speak the language, understand the culture and infiltrate enemy organizations. This strategy should prevent 20 people from dying when 1 person would work.

Every time an anonymous bomb kills anonymous people in the Middle East, it incites, inspires and encourages anonymous future soldiers of Jihad.
Put yourself in their position. Wouldn't you join the crusade if your family and everything you lived for was destroyed by an enemies misguided bomb?

The new frontier of War is a control room. Generals bark out orders to soldiers sitting in front of computers. Push a button kill a terrorist. Push another button, create 10 more...
