Drone attack kills 20 in Pakistan

This is the best best hope for stopping the Taliban and al Qaeda in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen. In fact, the program should be expanded. Despite negative news reports, Predators save lives, including that of American troops.

in reference to:

"A drone attack on a suspected militant compound killed at least 20 in South Waziristan early Sunday morning, Pakistani officials said. The drone fired at least four missiles at the compound in the village of Nizba, a restive tribal area bordering Pakistan, the officials said. It was the third drone strike targeting the Shaktoi region in the past four days. The United States is the only country in the region known to have the ability to launch missiles from drones, which are controlled remotely."
