Pakistan protests US drone attacks, Taliban warns of reprisals
news.yahoo.com
 ISLAMABAD (AFP) – A militant Taliban group warned on Thursday of reprisals in Pakistan if there was another US drone attack, as the
government condemned the latest missile strike in its territory.
Top Pakistani Taliban leader Hafiz Gul Bahadur warned he would mount revenge attacks if the US carried out further strikes in tribal territory after
missiles fired from a drone Wednesday killed six people, including a major Al-Qaeda operative.
Bahadur's group has been accused by the United States of launching attacks across the border in Afghanistan, but it abstains from violence in
Pakistani territory under an understanding with military authorities.
"We will start revenge attacks across other districts if the US drone attacks do not stop after November 20," Taliban spokesman Ahmadullah Ahmadi said
in a statement.

I encourage them to retaliate in Pakistan. Perhaps this time the Pakistani govt. would do more against AQ and the Taliban as well as other allies,
instead of giving a truce which the Taliban could violate if they retaliated. Since the U.S. never signed the treaty, the U.S. can still launch
missile attacks in Pakistan.

NO
the USA cannot go around killing people when it feels like it - Hitler tried that one remember.
what will happen if pakistan attack US troops in retaliation - they are perfectly entitled to - would the USA scale up to nuclear attacks? PAK have
nukes and would use them - and would get them to CONUS if neccessary.

They are entitled to it? Yet they don't do crap in the last few years. Perhaps they don't think its worth attacking the U.S. troops to protect the
Taliban and AQ.
