I guess one could argue that, but only once one doesn't bother to read the article linked that the person is supposedly commenting about.
The first sentence is,
Quote:
"As part of an escalating offensive against extremist targets in Pakistan, the United States is deploying Predator aircraft equipped with sophisticated new surveillance systems"..."U.S. campaign, which has included half a dozen Predator strikes and a ground raid in the last few weeks.
This morning, witnesses said, at least eight people were believed killed in what appeared to be a Predator strike in North Waziristan, near the Afghan border.
Pakistanis complain that U.S. raids frequently kill civilians in addition to militants."

I don't know how any reasonable person reads those sentences and doesn't understand them as Predators being launched within Pakistan and controlled within the borders to conduct missions against people inside Pakistan borders unless that person a) didn't read the article and/or b) is just being argumentative.
