Why should we stop once Mushy has lost power as this article hints we will? Side note: If Obama or Clinton wins we won't see unilateral air strikes for at least four years....
ISLAMABAD (AFP) - The United States is escalating unilateral strikes against Al-Qaeda militants in Pakistan's tribal areas amid fears that the new government here will curtail such attacks, a report said Thursday.
The Washington Post quoted US officials as saying that the US administration wants to do as much damage as it can to Al-Qaeda because it is worried that President Pervez Musharraf will have reduced powers in coming months.
Musharraf's allies lost elections last month, and new prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani told US President George W. Bush this week that a broader approach to the "war on terror" is necessary, including political solutions.
The Post report said that in the past three months US Predator drones hit at least three sites used by Al-Qaeda militants in tribal regions near the Afghan border, killing about 45 Arab, Afghan and other foreign fighters
