CIA steps up drone attacks in Pakistan amid fear of al-Qaeda terror in Europe

The US launched more attacks with unmanned drones against al-Qaeda.  They are trying to stop terrorist attacks that they think will happen in Europe.  The US is stepping up its use of unmanned drones to hunt down and attack areas where they think high ranking leaders are with precise accuracy.  This is the 21 drone attack this month which shatters the last monthly record of 12 last year.  The US is showing its power and use of technology proving that we can fight a war with out even having forces around to fight.  I think the use of drones to fight is one of the best things we can do to show our power in a war al-Qaeda forces will see that we can keep attacking them at anytime without having solders around for them to even be able to fight back and that we have constant watch on them.  In recent weeks we have killed numerous high ranking officials hopefully that trend continues.
