Drone attack on Al Queda compound kills two hostages

[somerfrost]

Apparently in January, a drone attack on Al Qaeda compound killed Al Qaeda operatives including an American Al Qaeda leader and two hostages, one an American. It is indeed tragic that innocent hostages were killed but while my heart goes out to their families, I must admit that accidental loss of innocent life is not an indictment of our war on terror. We are at war with Al Qaeda and use of American troops has proven ineffective therefore we must seek and destroy the terrorists using intelligence assets. This should not be a political issue, while we should rightly mourn the loss of two innocent lives we must remember the loss of over three thousand innocent lives on 9-11!
