ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – The United States will not abandon its drone program in Pakistan but how it goes forward is a matter for U.S. and Pakistani intelligence and military officials to determine, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.
“The program is something that we have said we go ahead on. The question is how. And that process is going to be something that’s going to be one of the main tasks that our intel and our military guys have,” the official said, speaking to reporters on condition of anonymity.
The comments came as Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, visited Pakistan in the highest level trip by a U.S. official since ties were badly strained over the case of CIA contractor Raymond Davis, who shot dead two Pakistanis in Lahore on January 27.
A Pakistani court acquitted Davis of murder charges last month after a deal that involved the payment of compensation, or “blood money,” to the families of two men that he killed. Davis said the men were trying to rob him.
In the wake of the incident, some Pakistani officials have called for sharp cuts in drone attacks, an issue that was raised in talks last week in Washington between CIA Director Leon Panetta and Lieutenant-General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, chief of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency.
“I’ll pause from my normal optimism and say this is a tough one. This is a real tough one,” the official said.
“Because that has been so inflamed in the public that the ability of our intelligence and our military guys to get together and say ‘what’s our common ground here?’ is limited.”
U.S. officials have privately said in the past that Washington would not consider demands by some Pakistani officials for sharp cuts in drone attacks or suggestions the United States should return to a Bush-era policy limiting the strikes to “high-value” militant targets.
Some observers say Pakistan’s recent vitriol about CIA activities may be largely posturing — a ploy to possibly extract more financial and military aid from the United States. But the issue of drones remains a sore point.

We can shot down drones anytime,unfortunately our government is compromised.after a military coup we will not only shot down these drones,we will blocked nato supply.then world will see slaughtered of foreign forces not a single will run alive from afghanistan.
Now we have very Patriotic Military regime not like Mush.This all is happening due to traitor mushraf and this government is worse than mush.Mush sign agreements with US,i think when pasha tell paneta to stop he show them the agreements.fact of the matter is US has lost war in afghanistan,now he is searching a scape-goat to put blame.
Pakistan have a very strong position right now.If we want we can choke the American supplies.If we want we can destroy Americans as we destroy the Soviets.Pakistan have the Will.We have the resources.Pakistan have the Potential.We have the assets on ground available for us that we can make Afghanistan the graveyard for The U.S and Nato forces.American supporting Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan and Indians working under the American umbrella The time is not far I feel Pakistani`s will take very decisive action.Pakistani`s would foam a national policy which either would declare neutrality in Afghanistan which mean we are neither supporting the American neither Supporting Afghan Taliban or If the Americans become too hostile to us.Pakistan actually decide to engage afghan Taliban on our side and do with the Americans what we did with The Soviets.Americans should fear that day when Pakistan decide to do that.
Earlier some months we blocked nato supply US president,Army Chief was on their knees begging Pakistan to open supply route.we blocked their supplies for ten day their toilet paper finished,water finished.fact of the matter is that we have the cards on our hand.US is facing worse defeat than vietnam.if we blocked their supplies they will be slaughtered like rats in cages:) -

The US must continue its war of terrorism in Pakistan if it wants to stay in the good graces of its zionist masters. The long term plan, and they have made no secret of it, is to balkanize Pakistan. The only way to accomplish this, in their eyes, is to destroy the government by having the people rebel against those seen to be taking the US coin.

Rahm Emanuel
Chief of Staff, Jewish. Son of a Zionist terrorist; dual-citizen of Israel and America (Emanuel served in Israel’s military during the First Gulf War instead of the U.S. military); used Jewish ethnic networking to land a lucrative job at an investment bank despite having no prior experience in business (he made over 15 million dollars in less than 3 years at the firm); despite supposedly being a “distribute the wealth” Democrat Emanuel was the top House recipient of monetary donations from Wall Street, hedge funds, private equity fund, banks, and the overall financial industry during the 2008 election cycle…even as the financial markets nearly collapsed in 2008.
David Axelrod
Senior Advisor to the President, Jewish.
Timothy Geithner
Treasury Secretary, Crypto-Jew. All reliable information points to him being ethnically Jewish (at least partially), but if not, he definitely married into The Tribe (m. Carole Sonnenfeld, 1985); he has been President of the New York Fed (which is by far the most powerful and influential branch of the Fed) during the major economic crisis (2007-present) which has utterly decimated the American economy and brought us to the brink of a depression and now this guy is put in charge of the Treasury?

James B. Steinberg (2009- ) and Jacob Lew, Deputy Secretaries of State, second in rank only to Hillary Clinton in foreign policy matters (meaning if something happens to her one of them will take over, giving a Jew yet another major Cabinet slot); both of these people are hardcore Zionist Israel Firsters, so it is difficult to imagine how they will remain objective and neutral when it comes to dealing with foreign policy matters in the Middle East.

To whom do these alien infiltrators pledge their allegiance? It is not the United States of America or the principles upon which it was founded.

Pakistanarmy says:
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s army chief General Ashfaq Kayani vowed to defeat terrorism and rejected the notion of Islamabad “not doing enough” in the war against terrorism, the military said on Thursday.
His comments followed remarks by Admiral Mike Mullen, the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, accusing Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency of having ties with militants in the northwest tribal belt.
The army chief “strongly rejected negative propaganda of Pakistan not doing enough and Pakistan army’s lack of clarity on the way forward,” the military said in a statement, a day after Mullen met top military generals in Islamabad.
Kayani said that the “army’s ongoing operations are a testimony of our national resolve to defeat terrorism”, according to the statement.
In an interview with TV channel Geo, Mullen — the highest ranking officer in the US armed forces — said: “ISI has a long standing relationship with the Haqqani network, that does not mean everybody in ISI but it is there.”
But the military statement said Mullen “lauded the sacrifices and efforts of people of Pakistan and its security forces” in the war against terror.
He also made reassurances that “security ties will not be allowed to unravel between the two armed forces”.
The Haqqani network is an al Qaeda-allied organisation run by Afghan warlord Sirajuddin Haqqani and based in the North Waziristan tribal district.
The group has been blamed for some of the deadliest anti-US attacks in Afghanistan.
Kayani and Mullen re-stated their aims of building “reciprocal respect towards each other’s sovereignty” and addressing the “trust deficit between the institutions as well as the people on both the sides,” the statement said.
Kayani described public support as the key to success in the war against terrorism but said that controversial US drone strikes “not only undermine our national effort against terrorism but also turn public support against our efforts”.
