Speaking of Drones . . .

Bill Roggio reports that the United States has not launched a drone strike against a terrorist target in Pakistan in 33 days, the longest such break in between attacks since 2008 when we stopped informing the Pakistani government/military beforehand.  Roggio, who is the best analyst of open-source data on drone strikes, says U.S. officials claim this is due to fear of escalating an already tense relationship with Pakistan rather than a paucity of targets or technical issues.
