Tribal elder: No more US attacks to be tolerated.

This is from the Dailytimes(Pakistan) The elder probably has zero influence upon the US decision to continue drone attacks. However, the Pakistani government has made the same demand numerous times and just lately. Even the UK has condemned the attacks. It makes no difference. The US for its part regards the attacks as necessary on the basis of a blown up definition of self defence! Of course this sorry excuse for naked aggression is never employed against any country that might be able to defend itself.
Interesting that the elder compares the US incursions with those of the Russians--of course these were condemned by the US! Those poor ignorant tribespeople don't understand that the US represents the forces of the free world a liberating force!

No more US attacks to be tolerated: PPP
Staff ReportMIRANSHAH: A tribal elder of Pakistan People’s Party in North Waziristan has asked the United States to stop incursions in the agency, saying no more US drone missile attacks in the agency will be tolerated. The party’s agency vice president Malik Ghulam Khan Madakhel said this on Friday while addressing a press conference here. The PPP tribal leader also urged the federal government to implement parliament’s in-camera session declaration and start dialogue process in the tribal areas for ending the ongoing unrest. He said during the USSR-Afghan war, Russian army had carried out several missile attacks in the tribal areas but did not succeed in fulfillment of its nefarious designs. Like Russian army, the US forces had also started missile attacks in the tribal region bordering Afghanistan but it, too, would never succeed in its wicked designs, he said. He called the US drone attacks in tribal areas as challenge to the government of Pakistan and its sovereignty. He called upon the government to take practical steps for stopping US attacks in tribal areas and end military operation there to pave way for resolution of the ongoing unrest in the tribal region through dialogues.
