Obama strategy applied in Libya used in Pakistan

U.S. uses unmanned Predator aircraft (drones) in Libya to attack the troops of Moammar Gadhafi with the approval of President Barack Obama, said Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense, who in turn said the U.S. military will not participate with the field. The first two Predator armed with Hellfire missiles capable of flying for 24 hours, yesterday went to Libya, but failed to fulfill its mission because of bad weather, said General James Cartwright, vice chief of the Joint Chiefs.

The U.S. armed forces plan to keep two patrols of armed Predators flying over Libya at all times, enabling improved monitoring and precision of the attacks against Gadhafi forces positioned near civilian areas, "said Cartwright in the same press conference . Libya is not the sole extent of territory in the United States uses drones against military targets, as is the system used in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

The attacks on the Afghan border have been severely paksitaní criticized by the international community and the Government of Islamabad, because of incidents in which aircraft attack civilians to be confused with isurgentes. Defense Secretary stressed that all the allies, the U.S. is the country with more troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and recently in Japan to help after the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country, and from the outset has remained clear of limits of their role in the Libyan mission.

Gates said the change of regime "was always a complicated political objective" and appealed to the role of Libyans in the process to succeed. The Predator flies unmanned and is generally used in military missions. You can maintain the level of controlled and sustained flight, which is driven by an internal combustion engine or reaction.

Also called drones, their first record was developed after the First World War and was used during World War II MundialTienen the ability to perform reconnaissance and attack missions, are often preferred for acts involving great risk to manned aircraft.
