| 'Drones have only landing permission' |
| 2009-02-22 |
| Defence Minister Ahmad Mukhtar has said that the US drones only have the permission to land in Pakistan and denied that they fly from Pakistan to carry out attacks in the Tribal Areas, a private TV channel reported on Saturday. According to the channel, Mukhtar told reporters in Gujrat that all drone attacks in the Tribal Areas were carried out from Afghanistan. |

| #4 I suspect he means that they land in Pakistan for refueling but must return to Afghanistan for re-arming. |

| #3 Yup, they're only allowed to land. When they leave that's just a landing in reverse. |

| #2 We're really in a pickle now since Di-Fi said that the drones can't fly out of SFO, either. |
