‘Unprecedented’ Drone Assault: 58 Strikes in 102 Days

It may take years, but some researcher will travel to Pakistan’s tribal areas and produce a definitive study on what it’s been like to live amidst an aerial bombardment from American pilotless aircraft. When that account inevitably comes out, it’s likely to find that 2010 — and especially the final quarter of 2010 — marked a turning point in how civilians coped with a drone war that turned relentless.
Even as the Obama administration’s assessment of its war strategy nodded to the primacy of the CIA’s drone campaign, Predators underscored the point. Over the past two days, four Predators or Reapers fired their missiles at suspected militants in North Waziristan, with three of the strikes coming early today.
They represent a geographic expansion of the drone war. Today’s strikes come in Khyber, an area abutting Afghanistan’s Nangahar province, that’s been notably drone-free. It has become an area for militants fleeing military action in South Waziristan to take succor.
They also bring the drone-strike tally for this year up to 113, more than twice last year’s 53 strikes. But those figures don’t begin to tell the whole story.
According to a tally kept by the Long War Journal, 58 of those strikes have come since September: There has been a drone attack every 1.8 days since Labor Day. LWJ’s Bill Roggio says the pace of attacks between September and November (there was a brief December respite, now erased) is “unprecedented since the U.S. began the air campaign in Pakistan in 2004.” (By contrast, in 2008, there were just 34 strikes.)
Both Roggio and the New America Foundation have found that the overwhelming majority of this year’s strikes have clustered in North Waziristan: at least 99, by Roggio’s count.
That torrid pace of attacks should make it beyond debate that the drones are the long pole in the U.S.’s counterterrorism tent, even if the drone program is technically a secret. The Pakistanis haven’t sent their Army into North Waziristan to harass al-Qaeda’s haven in the mountainous, Connecticut-sized region, waving off U.S. pressure to invade.
Without a ground force to rely on, the CIA argues, the only option for fulfilling the administration’s goal of crushing al-Qaeda is a missile strapped to a surveillance aircraft. During the presidential campaign, Obama said he would pursue al-Qaeda in Pakistan unilaterally if he deemed the Pakistanis intransigent. No one expected he meant he’d do so from the skies.
Of course, the Pakistanis have been the silent partner in the strikes, allowing the drones to fly from their territory, so it’s not as if these are unilateral attacks.
But no one knows whether a backlash is just around the corner. While most Pakistanis remain ignorant of the strikes, those in the tribal areas live literally in their shadow, and register enormous discontent, approving of retaliatory attacks on U.S. forces.
Reportedly, the CIA’s top officer in Islamabad has fled Pakistan after a man from North Waziristan whose son and brother were killed in a strike filed a lawsuit against the agency.
There’s no official or universally accepted figure of how many civilians have died as a result of the strikes, but New America pegs it at around 25 percent of all fatalities. Long War Journal’s registry is more generous, claiming that 1,671 militants and 108 civilians have died in the strikes since 2006.
Then there’s the question of whether the strikes are legal. Obama administration claims that the September 2001 congressional Authorization to Use Military Force in retaliation for 9/11 provides all the legal protection necessary for the strikes. Some lawyers and law professors, by contrast, think that the drones’ remote pilots could eventually get hauled before a war-crimes tribunal.
A United Nations report urged Obama to rein in the drones, restricting them to attacks on the seniormost militants. He did the opposite.
Don’t expect him to heed that warning in 2011 either. After reading the administration’s war-progress report, The New York Times‘ David Sanger noted that background discussions with administration officials made it clear that next year “the pace will be picked up.” The technology certainly enables it: The Predator is giving way to the Reaper drone, which carries a bigger payload; while weapons manufacturers are lightening the weights of air-launched precision missiles.
Independent accounts of what it’s like to live under the shadows of the drones are still all-too-rare, especially in English. Given the amount of investment the Obama administration has in the drones, it’s unlikely that the administration would listen.
However targeted the strikes may be, the hundreds of thousands of civilians in North Waziristan and the rest of the tribal areas live with the anxiety of the missiles overhead. How long can the U.S. avoid a reckoning?
Update, 10:43 a.m.: CIA spokesman George Little e-mails reporters about the station chief’s departure: “Our station chiefs routinely encounter major risk as they work to keep America safe, and they’ve been targeted by terrorists in the past. They are courageous in the face of danger, and their security is obviously a top priority for the CIA, especially when there’s an imminent threat.” So there was a threat to the guy besides the lawsuit?
And Salon’s eagle-eyed Justin Elliott reminds me that CIVIC (Campaign of Innocent Victims in Conflict) recently compiled an extensive report into civilians in Pakistani tribal areas caught between the drones, the Pakistani army and extremist groups. A sample: “Civilian victims expressed anger at warring parties for their losses.
Despite some people’s fear of retribution for speaking out, many placed the blame squarely on the Pakistani and U.S. military. Almost all victims insisted that the Pakistani or U.S. governments, respectively, had a responsibility to make amends — meaning, an acknowledgment of the harm suffered and an offer of assistance or compensation.”

“relentless.”
wow let me guess you have no clue of events in WWII.
Some german sites were bombed 3 times a day. Others industrial sites got hit twice a day with US & UK air force bombers alternating.
And yet your inyour opinion the drone war of 1.8 strikes a day (on average) is considered relentless.
Hell even LBJ did better than that with the B-52s.
and that canard of War Crimes, I have yet to see a single proof that CIA drone operators are not all USAF pilots if on reserve status. Thus privileged combatants. Please name a drone operator for the CIA who is not Spencer.

/Bloggers these days no standards, no base lines for comparison, but a plenty of axe to grind it seems.
“Relentless”?
The Blitz of London got more than 58 bombs in a single night.
Night after night. “When will there be a reckoning?” They blew up a bunch of our people. When will they all become Buddists or Christians?
Lay down their arms and sing “Kum by ya”? IF they got into a rat hole and whisper vengence to America, we will send a bomb down that rat hole.
They should be happy that we do not carpet bomb or nuke the whole region.
If they do not like it, kick the militants out of the village.
The drone strikes aren’t “avoiding a reckoning.” They’re paying it.
In WWII it took all those strikes day after day after day to destroy 1 target, night bombing averaged something like 5 miles off target.
Now one drone = hundreds of strikes by WWII era bombers
Are people seriously comparing this to World War II? Well then, 9/11 was nothing compared to Hiroshima. What were people complaining about, sheesh.
“So in the name of fighting terrorism, we are willing to start wars, waterboard, and BLOW UP CIVILIANS WITH DRONES, but we are not willing to go through an airport security check??” — Lewis Black, on our nation’s response to the TSA’s new enhanced pat-downs.
Yeah, we already know what it’s like for people living in pakistan under the constant fear of drone strikes.
Families are now, often, spending more money on anti-depressants than meat for their families. It is not quantity of strikes that matters, it’s the constant fucking SPECTRE of death and the roar of it above them that is damnable and inhuman. People are so ignorant and so…brainwashed, to say the least, that they don’t realize that every action has its reaction, and thus the argument that,
“IF they got into a rat hole and whisper vengence to America, we will send a bomb down that rat hole.”
is absolute folly. If one attempts to crush another into submission, the other will either fight to the death or run off and plan vengeance. And the circle remains unbroken.
Your attitude, sirlanse, is precisely what will burn this world to the ground.
If the US doesn’t continue killing terrorists and disrupting their networks, what are the options? Allow them to rebuild to launch further attacks on US soil or elsewhere? If the missiles aren’t killing terrorists over there, they’ll be killing us, here. If the bleeding hearts don’t like it let them go over there and try to reason with the terrorists and see how far they get.
@Dust
jesus christ thats not even close to accurate
@12ozmouse
anti depressants- please expand on this since I suspect you are using it euphemistically.
as for your “circle of violence”. Hey they can end it anytime. Stop chanting death to the great satan, stop killing people for supposed heresies, stop supporting attacks against other nations. Stop giving refuge to terrorists or other who do the above.
Seriously bitch about the US and its media, but never compare us to the full blown lies and conspiracies that go for the “truth” in Pakistan published in papers , repeated by gov. officials and acted upon by credulous haters who do not question.
/Finally I would also point out that statistically most Pakistanis are killed by their fellow muslims not some CIA drone or even SOCOM unit. Seriously blame the US for you killing each other?! wtf? yep that is exactly the logic I expect from someone who is a devout muslim.
Yes, because there really is an centralized and organized element out their that wants to DESTROY OUR FREEDOM right? Bullshit. There are those that want freedom from expansionist nations and that leads to people who are willing to do terrible things to those who have done terrible things to them in the name of energy and profit and land, and less sincerely, a god.
The answer to the worlds problems, including this…terrorism (which is simply a word applied by those being “terrorized” to differentiate their own acts of terror from those retaliating)…is right under the world’s nose, but we’ve come too far and struggled for so long for the gathering of stuff that we will indeed destroy much of ourselves before we realize that Comfort is a drug and for all of its nice effects, its side-effects are more self-destructive than any other.
Materialism and laziness have given Western governments, especially, unprecedented control over their populations under the guise of freedom and also an ill-informed populace has given them free reign in public and foreign policy. And the media has been a dark horse for them.
Globalization has been perpetrated through scam after scam.
This is how it should be done. Stop pouring money into that hat’s pockets.
Edit* (by those terrorizing to differentiate themselves from those being terrorized and then retaliating violently)
And on that note, I’m not excusing terrorism here. I’m saying something that some fucktard said a couple thousand years ago, one of the few things he said that actually made sense, and that is, before you tell me of the sliver in my eye, deal with the plank in your own.
And of course you think I’m a muslim.
Don’t be dim.
To Spencer Ackerman who has SO little respect for what a dangerous job it is to be responsible for intelligence in Nuclear Pakistan, den of the worst terrorists around… who can write disrespectful garbage like:
“So there was a threat to the guy besides the lawsuit?”
in response to this:
“Our station chiefs routinely encounter major risk as they work to keep America safe, and they’ve been targeted by terrorists in the past. They are courageous in the face of danger, and their security is obviously a top priority for the CIA, especially when there’s an imminent threat.”
WIRED MAGAZINE should be ASHAMED to employ a writer who is either so STUPID or disrespectful that he doesn’t realize that CIA station chief in Pakistan is a serrrriously dangerous assignment… well, he’s either too uneducated, disrespectful of the dangerous jobs that our service members do overseas, or hates his own country so much that he should not be assigned complex articles like this to work on. Let him cover the new iPAD release or something where he isn’t going to insult our brave servants overseas with garbage like presuming that avoiding a lawsuit is the greatest danger/sacrifice our station chief deals with.
SO SHAMEFUL AND DISRESPECTFUL. Why not just write an article saying how the CIA is “totally unnecessary” because I’m sure this is what Mr. Ackermann believes from his snide comments. Please go write for the Daily Worker or some other rag where non-Americans will read this and get away from WIRED magazine before I for one cancel my subscription.
What I dont seem to understand is how getting killed/attacked by a drone has an effect that is different than getting killed/attacked by a piloted aircraft. Its the same thing. There isnt a difference.
The reaper is cheaper…
@12ozmouse
that paragraph was talking about Pakistani, who curiously enough tend to be muslim.
.
As for the rest of your idealistic incoherent rant, sorry those who let evil men shelter in their house deserve a visit from the Reaper. IF you want to be a pacifist, fine go let a bear eat you, or a muslim fuck you over. Until orthodox muslims grant me an equal status in their countries, their courts and their communities, I will militantly defend myself.
.
/it’s not like GWB and the US ever wanted to be in AfPak, but Al-Qaeda had to coopt the locals into giving them shelter as they committed terrorist acts against the West.
@ 12ozmouse
“Families are now, often, spending more money on anti-depressants than meat for their families.”
You have credit card receipts from Pakistani ‘families’ that show how much they are spending on anti-depressants?! Enough with the quivering lip. The drones are a beautiful way to reach out and touch the Islamic Jihad terrorists. It is radical Muslims who want to burn the world to the ground, not us.
I’m also absolutely not a pacifist. Would that I were allowed to be armed in my country, being Canada, I would walk the streets at night and do what the police cannot or will not. I won’t, however, meddle (violently OR otherwise) in the affairs of others for temporary personal gain and then bitch and moan about the consequences, which is what every expansionist nation does, has done, and will continue to do until they break the goddamned planet, or at least until they break the human race. Keep America safe: stay in America.
Like it or not, most war is avoidable and preventable. Most people just want to live. But the Nation, all Nations are beasts borne on our billion broken backs.
Oh I know they’re the ones who want to burn it to the ground. And what better way than the prod the most powerful countries in the world?
And the West is so much better. They just want to subjugate the rest to their “better way of life”. Oh, the white man’s burden re-envisioned.
I don’t have receipts. Do your own goddamned research.
To clarify, it is mostly in the tribal areas of Pakistan where people have been buying more anti-depressants and sleeping aids. And many Pakistanis DO appreciate that the drone strikes loosen the grip of tyrannical militants, and are also significantly more accurate and apparently less prone to civilian casualties than artillery and the like, but that doesn’t change the fact that they do live in constant fear under the hum of all those eyes in the sky. There is one story of a man and his friend: they were driving, stopped their car at a roadside ship where two militants stood beside their own vehicle. The friend voiced concern over them, saying it was dangerous to be close to them. The other said, don’t worry, I know how the drones work, they won’t attack them in such a public place. And sure enough, the militants left before these two men, and they say the truck obliterated a short way down the road. As impressive as all that is, it instills at the same time a sense of fear and of fear-based control. All that’s needed is bad intelligence (which is entirely in the realm of possibility for any Intelligence Agency) and you’ve got dead civvies. It is a fine line and one that should not be walked without the utmost care.
I’d prefer, as many would, it weren’t walked at all.
“However targeted the strikes may be, the hundreds of thousands of civilians in North Waziristan and the rest of the tribal areas live with the anxiety of the missiles overhead.”
It is a war. Of course they are living in anxiety. Perhaps that is an argument for ending the war, but it isn’t an argument for ending the drone strikes. Given that we are at war, this is the cheapest and most effective way of waging it. Compared to the alternatives, it is also probably the most humane way of waging war. Sadly.
LBJ was the man and the Tet Offensive was a total NV tactical Failure, But a total Strategic Success go figure, War is more then one Dimension. Sun Tzu where are you? We need you now, more then ever.
Drone on, Thank god for them. It’s our version of the roadside bomb. Saves our troops lives. The milktoasters can go back to starbucks and leave the defense of their country to the brave.
Since the US finds a few drone attacks weekly across international borders ok, maybe we should expect the same.
If Pakistan and Afghanistan will not fight al-qadea or the taliban in their own countries. Then pull all our troops out of harms way. Then use the drones with tactical nuclear weapons. Let Pakistan and Afghanistan complain all they want, about civilian casualties. It is American blood being spilled to free and protect them. Do not play at war go in it to win it and save our people. This is just like Vietnam all over again no matter how many lies our government tells you! If our politicians and military leaders are afraid of what might happen because we chose strong force. Then we have no business being there and having our young people being killed. Why must our young Americans have to die?
againer1976 – ” This is just like Vietnam all over again no matter how many lies our government tells you!” – you’ve got that right, but we would still be fighting there or dying in a nuclear winter with your logic.
Firing a missile from a drone/reaper is actually very strictly regulated. Multiple commanding officers, both in the area and at the pentagon watch video feed live and have to give the go ahead on a strike before firing.
Drones/reapers don’t just fire on people who are rumored to be terrorists. We all need to keep in mind that these terrorists are gorilla fighters who have been known to remove weapons from their dead fellow fighters and then claim that the attack killed a civilian.
You also have troops on the ground who corner these terrorists in a fire fight and then order in attacks.
So, I’m not sure what to think about this article that talks mostly about civilian death statistics and our Commander-In-Chief needing to heed warnings of legalities. Someone tell me of a war that has had no civilian deaths. You can’t, because there hasn’t been one without civilian deaths. And in this case, enemy kills are being counted as civilian deaths sometimes. There is also a staggering difference in the small amount of civilian deaths cause in the War in Afghanistan compared to past wars. If anything, we should be grateful that the number of civilian deaths is extremely low compared to the past, yet we have articles like this one talking about how the President should heed warnings, drone operators could face military tribunals for what they are doing, and giving civilian death statistics that sound alarming in the context small context that they are putting it in.
Thanks Spencer. Looking forward to seeing the drones’ remote pilots sitting in the dock at the war crimes tribunal.
Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were the masterminds of 9/11. When will a pair of cheaper reapers be vectored to their residences?
If the folks in the tribal areas are having a hard time “coping” with drone attacks, maybe they should stop harboring the Taliban. It’s called a war, in case you are unfamiliar with the concept. As for these so-called human rights groups whining about casualties, they never speak up when Islamists kill people (except to blame America for somehow inciting the violence) so they can go to hell too.
Perhaps it’s ‘unprecedented’ for this war but it’s hardly a particularly aggressive pace by traditional-war standards.
As for the UN; it seems to think cholera, child rape and climate fraud are the kind of responsible behavior they’re looking for; I’d like to think that the minute any such entity attempted to try a US drone pilot we’d bulldoze the headquarters of that rotten little operation into the East River.
So we send ground troops you write another blog article about how we shouldn’t be sacrificing human lives. We use drones and you write a blog article about how we shouldn’t be using them. Guess there’s no way to not set liberal amateur-bloggers on axe-grinding frenzies.
I say bomb away until everyone in the middle east is dead. Then move on to n. korea and the world will be at peace.
These are not pilotless aircraft. They are remotely piloted aircraft. There are actual people flying them. This may seem like splitting hairs but I just want to acknowledge that there are humans flying them and humans are launching the missiles or rockets that kill all those innocent women and children. Even though they are doing it from the comfort of some high tech air-conditioned cubicle far from harms way, each drone pilot has blood on their hands. They are responsible for the killing.
Pay no attention to this headline and just remember what Dubya and crew said “They hate us for our freedoms!” /sarcasm off
There’s an excellent video documentary airing on LINK TV (Channel 375 on Direct TV) right now entitled “Apology From An Economic Hitman”. Watch it and learn. Or read the book by John Perkins called “Confessions of An Economic Hitman”.
And if you still believe that 19 radical Muslims attacked us on 9/11 and outwitted our multi-billion dollar defense/imtelligence apparatus, made NORAD standdown and violated a few laws of physics causing the Twin Towers to collapse…. it’s time to wake up.

The cost of a drone strike is likely to be several million dollars. The precision missile is more than 2 million alone. Then there is a blackwater contract to deliver and install the missiles in Pakistan, and no doubt protection to pay while trucking the missiles in, then the drone itself is an expensive device.
Given the number of supporters of war I find here, allow me to ask, why are we in Afghanistan fighting the local population? We know Bush’s friend Bin Ladin is in Saudi Arabia living well in a Wahabist community. We have badly overstayed our usefulness, and installed a government so corrupt that they rob the hand that feeds them.
We do not even really know who we are fighting there. Terrorists? We cannot define that term, but it would appear we are fighting the local population, just as the Russians and the British have in the past. It will do us as much good as it did them. We need to simply get out of there. The only reason anybody from there ever came here to attack is that we were in the middle east backing the wrong side in every conflict, and building bases in Saudi Arabia. Over this, the right wing Muslim Bin Ladin decided to use his US training and lawless land of Afghanistan to attack us.
I suspect that no matter how far we retreat it won’t matter. Sure leave their village, but you’re still in our country. Ok we left the country…now we’re in their neighbor’s country. Oh man, fine, we’ll leave your neighbor’s country. No its not good enough, you didn’t actually leave b/c you still have bases there. HUH? fine we’ll take out our bases.
Nope, not good enough, you still influence our neighbor’s government…ugh fine…we’ll break off all communication with any government that you even think you might have some ancestral relationship with.
Hold on a sec, now you want us to break off ties with France b/c their muslim population is poor. And you want us to break off ties with all of Europe cuz they just can’t keep their cartoonists in line. And you won’t sell us your oil anymore? So we are supposed to walk to work? Ugh, fine, we’ll drive electric cars and use only nuclear power.
Wait, what’s that you say?? You want the freedom to practice your religion? um, ok, that’s fine. Wait, what? you can’t effectively practice your religion unless everyone in whatever country you are in follows sharia law? OK, FIIIINE, sharia law it is.
UM, what, you now want everyone who isn’t a muslim to become a muslim or else they die? And how about the people who don’t want any religion? They die too.
What’s that you say? our women’s rights need to be seriously re-examined?
OK OK, we’ll do whatever you want, just stop blowing yourselves up in inconvenient places.
Oh you still want to kill us because you want your virigins.
OK OK OK…I’m rambling, but i think you get the point.
How different is blowing up innocent women and children using an air drone than say,…. a suicide bomber?
@Gilby
Legally they are not different. Both are the fault of the muslim terrorists.
The US does not target women and children, they are targeting Taliban/Al-qaeda men who shelter behind the women and children.
So under the Geneva conventions the muslims terrorists are responsible for killing the women & children.
/But thanks for asking even if you were trolling.
@Trollout: What’s that? Drone pilots don’t *target* innocent women or children, but yet still manage to kill them? So you’re saying that they suck at their jobs?
The editor-in-chief of Wired.com is a fascist traitor to his own country whom deserves to be charged with treason. How does it feel to completely ruin the life of one man, and put our entire countries freedom of press at stake at the same time – All for some precious publicity to your site, and to the traitorous attention whore Adrian Lamo?
May god bless (the all but forgotten) Bradley Manning, god bless Jullian Assange and god bless Wikileaks. Conventional journalism has failed us, and people like them are the last remaining hope for democracy.
If people like the ones responsible for attempting to stop the flow of truth and justice get their way – then the next time journalists and innocent civilians are killed, the blood will be on their hands… As we weren’t informed enough to show our outrage.
We the people can not bow down to the terrorists (the true terrorists, like the traitors Kevin Poulsen, Adrian Lamo et al) – The very internet we hold dear may be in jeopardy otherwise.
@KxWaal
wow you drank the koolaid.
care to defend your arguments in a court of law?
how about at DEFCon, it gonna for those not yet arrested.
.
@morphizm – no muslims terrorist use women and children as human shields which is against the Geneva Conventions. Thus they are legally morally responsible. PS They call them “involuntary martyrs” on their websites.
Guys guys guys, you have to be an idiot to not know the difference between the two. You are missing the whole point of my question. About 95% of you are, well, those who are trying to explain the difference and advantages/disadvantages of using drones. What I was getting at is I cant see how the psychological impact of being killed by a drone would be any differentthan being killed by a piloted aircraft. Dead is dead. You know for as many “smart” people that read Wired, most of you are quite, well, hmmmm… I guess I just expect a certain level of understanding because I expect a certain level of intelligence from Wired readers. Instead, especially lately, I get overly simplified comments on things that at this level of the game should just be assumed everyone knows. Its like being in a Masters class and having someoneone talking about Finance 101, instead of already knowing it. Hard to explain.

If there are so many distended bellies, perhaps we should start giving out some gym memberships. They just remodeled the Equinox at 77th and Amsterdam and its really nice.
I don’t care if I keep paying half my salary to some thugs with guns who oppress the rest of the world; as long as my girlfriend makes it to her spin class.
I’m also willing to bet that Mcoyote has no friends.
You’re typing this on a computer I assume? What do you think it took to get that computer in your hands? I’m not an expert in supply chain management or product development, but I’m sure that some portion of it would not be possible without some type of military/police support during at least some stage of the process.
