The drones are assisting the Pakistani troops by finding enemy postions in the region and relaying it back to the troops. Also, this is the first time that Islamabad has accepted help to this degree with the images from the predator drones scouting out intellegence. Recently, attacks on checkpoints and important buildings like air complexes have rattled the government into the need for assistance frome the US and NATO. The offensive in S. Waziristan has lasted for a about a week so far. Pakistan needed help to rid the Taliban and insurgent groups based around S. Waziristan. This attempt on the offensive has been first to be successfully going in the right direction since the two failed attempts in 2003 and 2004. Here are the links- Los Angeles Times- [] Foxnews.com- http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/10/23/aiding-pakistan-offensive/ Similar and differences- Similar- The two articles are just about the same when it came to reporting the main facts and having pictures. Difference- LA Times has more details and is more in depth than Fox news. Another Difference was that FOX news list that the attacks so far have killed 170 people when LA times doesn't. LA Times on the other hand talks more about the status of the offensive more than that of FOX news. Opinion- I think personally this is a step forward in the righ direction for the Allied and Pakistani troops to get rid of the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and other insurgent groups from the country. Also, I think also that this war we are fighting in is on one thing, Religion. The Pakistanis are finally accepting help!
