"For the most part, they've been very precise precision strikes against al Qaeda and their affiliates, and we're very careful in terms of how it's been applied," he said in a webchat.
I had to add the other paragraph just for a reference to the point I am trying to make...
Now, using these drones is bad enough but here's where I had a huge problem with the story...
They say that they killed at least 10 people in a house believed to be in use by militants...
And that for the most part they have been very precise strikes...
Sounds like they've screwed up a few times and don't want to admit that this might be another one of those incidents...
Edit: Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't we supposed to be "allies" with Pakistan? As in... shouldn't be killing people there in the first place?
