Does anybody can tell me what's the difference between Bush & Obama in the killing by missiles strikes? Obama's is softer?
Quote:
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Seventeen people were killed Friday evening in two U.S. missile strikes in Pakistan's tribal region, said one government and two military officials.
They are the first such strikes since President Obama took office Tuesday.
Both hits were near the Afghan border, said local political official Nasim Dawar. The Pakistani military sources asked not to be named because they are not authorized to release such information.
The first strike, which killed 10 people, occurred about 5:15 p.m. (7:15 a.m. ET) in a village near Mir Ali in North Waziristan, the officials said. Seven people died in the second hit at 7:30 p.m. (9:30 a.m. ET) near Wana, the major town in South Waziristan, 17 miles (27 kilometers) from Afghanistan, they said.
There has been no immediate response from U.S. officials.
I can't see the difference
Quote:
Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, interviewed on CNN's "The Situation Room," repeated that public opinion in his country is strongly against the strikes on Pakistan territory.
Musharraf was asked whether he is comfortable with the continuation of the attacks, even with a new U.S. president in place.
"As far as this issue of the new president, President Obama, having taken over and this continuing ... I've always been saying that policies don't change with personalities.
"Policies have national interests, and policies depend on an environment."
The former leader added that he believes the environment and national interests of the United States" are the same.
See are we hearing the same world? ppl acting as fanatics for Obama and ppl so cynic that trash all the good from Obama? is not the same world from ever?
