Drone attacks in FATA are carried out in cooperation with the Pakistan Punjab military. The USA cannot carry out drone strikes unless the Pakistan Punjab military cooperatives by providing coordinates and ground support.
The PPP government know this fact, and Zardari is said to be in favor of these attacks privately.
The only people that are against these attacks are the majority of the Pakistani people, the Insaf Party and the PML (N) party.
Zardari came to power, after the ISI murdered his wife in December 2007, probably for the USA. It was a classic ISI execution (ditto Laikat Ali Khan)....filled with symbolism for masterji.
The USA likes Zardari because he is a super-crook, as is Karzai in Afghanistan running a defacto narco state. The USA, and especially the State Department and CIA feel they can get greater "leverage" in a country, using super-crooks, who can even sell their mothers for a price. We must not be fooled by the often urbane, plummy accented, slithering creatures who work in such organizations. Zardari has about $4 billion stashed away in Jew bank Swiss accounts, and Zardari wants to stay in power for ever with USA backing ("memogate").
But 90% of Pakistanis loathe him OBVIOUSLY. How do you fine dress and present shit? Zardari is therefore out of sight, and his Zamindar deputy speaks for him in the MSM.
Naturally patriotic Pakistanis who aren't into "strategic depth" are against drone strikes, but as yet this national popular sentiment has not been seriously channeled to remove the puppet government in Islamabad, which thereafter results in a people responsive policy over American drones and much else.
For the country to be successful, Pakistanis must step forward and fight for the country, and not as Punjabis, Pashtuns, Baluchis Sindhis or Moharjis.....but as Pakistanis. This requires considerable courage.

Pakistan Condemns Drone Strikes as “Unlawful”
Renewed scrutiny has been placed on the drone war in Pakistan since Obama publicly admitted to it for the first time
Islamabad issued another condemnation on Monday of Washington’s drone war in northwest Pakistan, branding it “unlawful, counterproductive and unacceptable,” after President Obama for the first time publicly acknowledged the classified program.
Pakistani Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said: “Our position on drone strikes is clear and based on principle. We cannot condone the violation of our sovereignty.”
Obama acknowledged the extrajudicial execution campaign in an interview that streamed live on YouTube. “I want to make sure people understand actually drones have not caused a huge number of civilian casualties,” he said. “For the most part, they’ve been very precise, precision strikes against against al-Qaeda and their affiliates.”
But investigative reports tell a very different story, namely that a large portion of the thousands of people killed in drone strikes since 2004 have been civilians. Furthermore, those militants that have been killed are mostly low-level insurgent operatives that are only known as such because the government (USA/Pakistani) said so.
(The Pakistan Punjab military under MOSSAD Busharaf handed over wholly innocent people mostly....700 for Guantanamo from 2001, vast majority have since been released by the USA. If the USA is well aware that Pakistani ground information about "terrorists" is suspect...why then does the USA launch highly inaccurate drone attacks which cause so much collateral damage....and ensure more recruits for the Taliban?)
Pakistani officials have been known to assist the CIA in carrying out drone strikes in the past, so Islamabad’s condemnation cannot be considered totally genuine. But the Pakistani people have been outraged by such constant attacks and have protested in the hundreds of thousands.
