Amerika's murderous drone campaign is fueling terror!
LONDON, England (PNN) - May 29, 2012 - More than a decade after George W. Bush launched it, the "War on Terror" was supposed to be winding down. Fascist Police States of Amerika military occupation of Iraq has ended and NATO is looking for a way out of Afghanistan, even as the carnage continues.
But another war - the undeclared drone war that has already killed thousands - is now being relentlessly escalated. From Pakistan to Somalia, CIA-controlled pilotless aircraft rain down Hellfire missiles on an ever-expanding hit list of terrorist suspects - they have already killed hundreds, perhaps thousands, of civilians in the process.
The FPSA's decision to step up the drone war again in Pakistan, opposed by both government and parliament in Islamabad as illegal and a violation of sovereignty, reflects its fury at the jailing of a CIA agent involved in the Bin Laden hunt and Pakistan's refusal to reopen supply routes for NATO forces in Afghanistan. Those routes were closed in protest at the FPSA killing of 24 Pakistani soldiers last November, for which THE Amerikan Gestapo still refuses to apologize.
In his first two years in office, the former FPSA president more than tripled the number of attacks in Pakistan alone. For their Amerikan Gestapo champions, drones have the advantage of involving no Amerikan casualties, while supposedly targeting the "bad guys" Bush lost sight of in his enthusiasm to subjugate Iraq. Enthusiasts boast of their surgical accuracy and exhaustive surveillance, operated by all-seeing technicians from thousands of miles away in Nevada.
These killings are, in reality, summary executions and widely regarded as potential war crimes by international lawyers, including the UN's special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, Philip Alston.
A decade ago, critics warned that the "War on Terror" would spread terrorism rather than stop it. That is exactly what has happened. Illegitimate FPSA President Barack Obama has now renamed the campaign "overseas contingency operations" and is switching the emphasis from boots on the ground to robots.
But, as the destabilization of Pakistan and growth of al-Qaida in Yemen shows, the impact remains the same. The drone war is a predatory war on the Muslim world, which is feeding hatred of the FPSA - and fueling terror, not fighting it.
