Qaeda feels unsafe near Pakistan border: CIA chief | Reuters

Well while it may be well and good that terrorist elements feel unsafe in the FATA area, at what price has this come? Pakistan has had to declare war on its own, has had to tolerate multiple violations of its borders, has seen upwards of 100 military deaths a month, and even by conservative estimates more than 300 civilian deaths a month either by terror or by the unmanned drones that cross our border more often than grains of sand. To make them feel "unsafe" we have seen our cities become more unsafe, death of our politicians, and myriad other sacrifices. And then they have the audacity to tell us to try harder.
