With all the opposition I've thrown at President Obama, it is time to give him recognition for something he does for which I approve. And that something is drones directed at terrorists.

Read about one of these drone attacks from Long War Journal, via Weasel Zippers:
US Predators hit a Taliban camp in North Waziristan
"US Predators struck again in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan today, killing 20 'militants' at a camp on the border with Afghanistan.
Unmanned Predators or the heavily armed and deadly Reapers fired at least six missiles at a training camp and a vehicle in the village of Bangi Darra in the Ghulam Khan area, just north of Miramshah, the main town in North Waziristan.
More than 20 'militants' were reported killed in the strike, according Geo News. The Associated Press of Pakistan reported that 15 Taliban fighters under the command of Hafiz Gul Bahadar were killed in the strike. Four 'foreigners,' a term used to describe al Qaeda and Central Asian fighters, were reported to be among those killed. No senior al Qaeda or Taliban fighters have been reported killed in strike.
The strike in Ghulam Khan is the second in the area in five days. A strike on Nov. 11 targeted a group of Haqqani Network 'fighters' returning to North Waziristan from across the border in Khost province in Afghanistan."
