US, Pakistan have airstrike deal: report Sunday, 16 Nov, 2008 \| 11:20 AM PST \| The US-Pakistani understanding over the airstrikes is ‘the smart middle way for the moment.’ —AFP/File photo WASHINGTON: The US and Pakistani governments have reached a tacit agreement on Predator strikes on Pakistani territory, under which Islamabad allows them while continuing to complain about them and Washington never acknowledges them, The Washington Post reported on Sunday. Citing unnamed senior officials in both countries, the newspaper said that under this don’t-ask-don’t-tell policy, unmanned US drones have fired missiles at Pakistani soil at an average rate of once every four or five days recently. The deal coincided with a suspension of ground assaults into Pakistan by US special forces, the report said. The paper said President Asif Ali Zardari told it in an interview last week that he was aware of no ground attacks since one on September 3 that his government vigorously protested. A senior Pakistani official said the US-Pakistani understanding over the airstrikes was ‘the smart middle way for the moment,’ The Post reported. Citing a potentially more favourable popular view of President-elect Barack Obama, he said that ‘maybe with a new administration, public opinion will be more pro-American and we can start acknowledging more cooperation,’ the paper said. Former president Pervez Musharraf, the official said, ‘gave lip service but not effective support’ to the Americans. ‘This government is delivering but not taking the credit,’ the paper quoted the official as saying. From December to August, when Musharraf stepped down, there were six US Predator strikes in Pakistan, according to The Post. Since August, there have been at least 19. Along with the stepped-up Predator attacks, Bush administration strategy includes showering Pakistan’s new leaders with close, personal attention. Zardari met with Bush during the UN General Assembly in September, and senior military and intelligence officials have exchanged near-constant visits over the past few months. [script removed]

They had to do it. Pakistan Army is using Talibans to massacre the people of Swat, Bajuar and Waziristan for their "strategic depth" in afghanistan and is not listening to PPPP or ANP govts. If that is the case then i won't say its right for PPP do it but i would say it's logical for them to make such deals with america. Though i am not still sure about it.
