Good job changing the truth to fit your point. Obama is concerned that firing missiles into urban areas like Quetta, where intelligence reports suggest that Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar and other high-level militants have sometimes taken shelter, would greatly increase the risk of civilian casualties. It would also draw protests from Pakistani politicians and military leaders, who have been largely quiet about the drone attacks as long as they've been confined to the country's out-of-sight border region. The White House has been encouraged by Pakistan's own recent military efforts to root out militants along the Afghan border, and it does not want to jeopardize that cooperation. I take that next section to mean that he is attempting to work with other governmental leaders and allow them to have local gains in this as well. When you get into taking out houses you are only as good as your intel is. I have a freind over there now who deals with that exactly and their tools or is it toys are very sophisticated. Unfortunately when bad guy goes into the local school or hospital and gets into a different vehicle when he leaves it gets us confused.
