Those drones were used in the search for Osama bin Laden, but they also resulted in many accidental civilian deaths and sparked a great deal of resentment towards our military and the CIA, particularly in Pakistan.

While I am not here as some psycho ultracon militant, I feel the following thoughts are appropriate to consider.<br /><br />The US military has just killed Osama bin Laden, and they did so due to long term intelligence work and military scouting.
