Obama to CIA: Bombs Away! No Let Up in US Drone Attacks<\/font> \n

New President Approves Continued Attacks That Have Killed 8 of al Qaeda’s Top 20 \n

The CIA’s bombing campaign against al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan continued with two more attacks today, an indication, senior officials say, that President Barack Obama has approved the U.S. strategy that has killed at least eight of al Qaeda’s top 20 leaders since July 2008. \n

The two attacks today in Pakistan were the first since President Obama took office on Tuesday. \n

Asked about it at his daily press briefing, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, “I’m not going to discuss that matter.” \n

During the campaign, Obama called for cross-border attacks against high-value al Qaeda targets in Pakistan, even before the CIA campaign began.<\/blockquote>\n

And so it appears that at least one of Election ’08’s promises is being kept.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
