Washington Sticking to the campaign pledge of US President Barack Obama, his deputy and Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday said the US would not hesitate to launch attacks inside Pakistan, if it had actionable intelligence against “high-value” Al-Qaeda targets.

“I can say that the President of the United States said during his campaign and in the debates that if there is an actionable target, of high-level Al-Qaeda personnel, that he would not hesitate to use action to deal with that,” Biden said in an interview to CBS news.

Biden was responding to a question whether the latest US missile attack inside the tribal regions of Pakistan had the approval of Obama or if he would continue with the Bush administration’s policy in this regard.

“I can’t speak of any particular attack. I can’t speak of any particular action. It’s not appropriate for me to do that,” he said, and then referred to Obama’s famous “actionable intelligence” statement.

Attacks inside Pak by Hero Vaz on 26 Jan 2009

The first target of the US should be Pak's nukes. No new intelligence is required to knock them out. There is already enough intelligence and even technology. Paki nukes are the biggest threat to the non-Muslim world especially if they fall into he hands of the Taliban and the Paki terrorists, considering that they have a free run in Pak and Afghanistan and there is no serious attempt by world powers to wipe them out.

Bomb Pakistan by Hero Vaz on 26 Jan 2009

Sense, at last, has dawned on the US. Intelligence has been provided by India and can continue to be provided. What is left, now, is for the US to begin depending and acting on Indian intelligence.

BEWARE by Rana on 26 Jan 2009

Good job done, Mr Biden. I do hope you keep up to your words. Pakistan should get what it desreves as they are sleazy customers and can wriggle out of any situation.
