She never saw it coming !
Barack Obama says the drone attacks he authorises are targetted only at named people on a list of active terrorists who are a direct threat to America.
MFS:"The reason i posted the Video is to accentuate the following post" from Brahma Chellaney, Professor of Strategic Studies at the New Delhi-based Center for Policy Research.
"Now, US policy, with its frantic search for a deal with the Taliban, is about to complete another orbit. Indeed, the Qatar-based negotiations highlight why the US political leadership has deliberately refrained from decapitating the Taliban. The US military has had ample opportunities (and still has) to eliminate the Taliban’s Rahbari Shura, or leadership council, often called the Quetta Shura because it relocated to that Pakistani city.
Yet, tellingly, the US has not carried out a single drone, air, or ground strike in or around Quetta. All of the US strikes have occurred farther north, in Pakistan’s tribal Waziristan region, although the leadership of the Afghan Taliban and of its allied groups, like the Haqqani network and the Hekmatyar band, is not holed up there.
