US to use drones ‘as new form of warfare’

Washington planned to use the drones in the future even in the United States “as a new form of warfare”, an American analyst tells Press TV’s US Desk.
“The drone strikes offer America the ability to wage war in a way that is more acceptable, both in terms of monetary cost and in terms of public relations”, journalist Mark Glenn told Press TV’s U.S. Desk.
“So, this is going to be the preferred choice of warfare for the United States for the foreseeable future and particularly ominous in the sense that Obama has made clear that he intends to deploy these drones here in the United States”, Glenn, the co-founder of Crescent and Cross Solidarity Movement said.
“As Americans we have to ask the question are we going to find ourselves in the same crosshairs that the people of Pakistan and other innocent people around the world find themselves presently.”
The CIA and the U.S. military have used drones to target and kill those Washington describes as “suspected militants” in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and Libya.
After Barack Obama won the presidency in the U.S., the drone strikes escalated and soon began occurring almost weekly, later nearly daily, and so became a permanent feature of life for those living in the tribal borderlands of northern Pakistan.
The United Nations has identified the U.S. as the world's number one user of “targeted killings” largely due to its drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
