The missile attack at about 10:20 a.m. killed nine people, including two children, and injured up to 18, according to the account from the intelligence official. A spokesman for the Pakistani Army, Maj. Murad Khan, said the military knew of explosions near the compound, and was investigating.

Whats going on is a logical continuation of the war against terror as opposed to the illogical actions of the Iraq war.

America should have invaded the NWFP and Waziristan in 2003 instead of Iraq. Bin Laden and Al Zawahiri were never in Iraq... they have been camping out in Pakistan for the last 7 years.

no invasions should be done, al qaida is a branch of the CIA
there is no terror threat
