Has anyone noticed that drone attacks have completely stopped since the Raymond Davis affair?

Re: drone attacks
Highly unlikely. According to Popular Science, US have spent $19.4 billions to develop this sophisticated technology to hit Afghanistan and Pakistan. Before drone attack, the person is followed by satellite and then accurately missile hit that person as he was never born..

Yeh, the coincidence must be for some other reason, may be US thinks that if they fire a drone while this issue is hot people will get even more anti-American.

Looks like you are forgetting Sam's mentality. Once they makeup their mind, non has power to change their actions. Remember nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (these were dropped even after Japapn's surrender), Critters on Afghanistan, Nepams on Vietnam etc. They have matality of old waste, carrying guns and shoot to kill anytime without mercy.
I don't see any anti-American uprising anywhere in the world including Pakistan. 100s and thousands of Pakis are dying to come to Sam's land legally or illegally. So chill my friend.

I am not talking about anti-American uprising anywhere, I am talking about people's sentiments being anti-American.
Why do YOU think there hasn't been a drone attack? Is it because they are unable to find anymore Talibans? Or have run out of drones? Why don't you share whats your take on it?

Re: drone attacks
More confirmation,
Ron Moreau and Sami Yousafzai at The Daily Beast report that there haven’t been any drone strikes in Pakistan for nearly a month, and that “a senior Pakistani official has confirmed that Davis’ case is directly connected to the freezing of the attacks, and says that Washington is afraid of further inflaming anti-American sentiment in Pakistan in the wake of the shootings.”
Re: drone attacks
Davis is a spy too…
KARACHI: Investigation teams were astonished to learn about Raymond Davis’s alleged connections in North Waziristan, sources told DawnNews.
Sources have revealed that a GPS chip recovered from Davis](http://www.dawn.com/2011/02/15/pakistani-taliban-warn-govt-against-releasing-raymond-davis.html) was being used in identifying targets for **drone attacks **](http://www.dawn.com/2011/01/02/us-will-ultimately-stop-drone-attacks-says-gilani-2.html)in the tribal region.
It was also learnt during the probe that Davis made upto 12 visits to the tribal areas without informing Pakistani officials.
The 36- year-old US official was reluctant in giving out information about his visits to the tribal region, sources added.
The US Embassy officials were exerting pressure on the authorities, asking them not to expose the information received from Davis.
Meanwhile, the Punjab government has shared the investigation](http://www.dawn.com/2011/02/01/lhc-orders-raymond-davis-name-on-exit-control-list.html) and the possessions recovered from Davis with the federal government, said sources.
Re: drone attacks
Marked my words earlier. Though I am totally aginst these attacks, these can only be stopped by General Kyani. Again marked my words. But non has enough balls in Pakistan to criticize general for that? Isn’t it?

First drone attack after Davis’s arrest; five dead
PESHAWAR, Feb 20: A US drone attack late on Sunday killed at least five militants in South Waziristan tribal region, officials said.
“Five militants were killed in the strike,” a military official said.
“The target was a house used by militants,” he added, requesting anonymity.
An intelligence official who confirmed the attack put the toll at six dead and three wounded.
The unmanned aircraft fired three missiles at the house in Kaza Panga village, 15km west of Wana, the main town in South Waziristan.
The attack was the first since a US gunman shot and killed two Pakistanis in Lahore on Jan 27, triggering a diplomatic row between Pakistan and the United States. Raymond Davis, the gunman, is under arrest and being tried by the Lahore High Court.—AFP
Re: drone attacks
I say it openly Kyani is a disgrace 
I am a purana Fauji by the way 
But I have no problem calling a pig a pig.
As for my take on the drone and davis matter… I think that we can be sure Davis was more than what he is made put to be.
Americans may be relaxing the drone attacks merely to prevent further hatred against themselves and thier citizen/spy/mercenary/diplomat etc
However one thing is for sure we have yet to find out what is going on behind the scenes… in my opinion justice should be swift and sure. Simply send out a message with a life for a life… you can have Davis but give us back… Afia.

errrr, that still doesn't say anything why there wasn't any drone attack for such good period of time.

there u go…
Re: drone attacks
Raymond Davis is outed as CIA agent.
3 Americans in the other car are confirmed as having left the country (possibly with Kerry).
Drone attacks resume.
What does all this mean? US may be cutting its losses and giving up on Raymond Davis.
Re: drone attacks
strongly agreed
