Musharraf admits to a secret drone deal with US: report

Musharraf coined the phrase "Pakistan first", a bankrupt statement now. This isn't new information he acknowledged a few years ago. Pres. Musharraf and PM Shaukat Aziz did good things for Pakistan but Pres. Musharraf really compromised Pakistan's sovereignty, he should face consequences for this.
 
As long as they were based on good actionable humint and elint they were productive, they even yielded a few dead Qeda leaders. But since these strikes have moved on to being based on "patterns" they have led to many civilian casualties. But the US cannot be expected to figure that into their calculus, they will always have the excuse that Pakistan goes easy on the Afghan taliban as a handy pretext. Pakistan's government should just let their position be unequivocally clear so that either it effectively stops these strikes or the people get to elect/select someone who can mitigate these strikes if the elected party/coalition could/can not.

How can any elected individual or govt stop these strikes? this is a direct agreement with Pakistans army, the civilian govt passed a resolution to stop the drones but they continued, the agreement was that CIA continues with the drones in the tribal regions barring the cities and by the looks of things it will continue for the foreseeable future unless the US completely washes its hands off Afghanistan.

No problem, drones kill our people, government and army consents, in return taliban kill and decapitate pak army soldiers and the tribals { pushtoons secretly } consent.

Even Stevens really, those who give tacit agreements to kill our people meet the same fate just in a different way.

No more pak fauj tujay salam but rather spitt and a middle finger.
 
So the rape of our national sovereignty is somehow okay if USA promises it won't hurt much and says please?

That is not rape of nation. That is rape of terrorists. Any nation that wants to sympathize with terrorists is bound to self destruction.

Sovereignty is in danger because of foreign and local terrorists spread terrorism from Pakistan. In absense of such people no one has interests bombing mountains.
