Sticking to the campaign pledge of US President Barack Obama,his deputy and Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday said the US would not hesitate to launch attacks inside Pakistan,if it had actionable intelligence against high-value Al-Qaeda targets.
I can say that the President of the United States said during his campaign and in the debates that if there is an actionable target,of high-level Al-Qaeda personnel,that he would not hesitate to use action to deal with that, Biden said in an interview to CBS news.
Biden was responding to a question whether the latest US missile attack inside the tribal regions of Pakistan had the approval of Obama or if he would continue with the Bush administrations policy in this regard.
I cant speak of any particular attack. I cant speak of any particular action. Its not appropriate for me to do that, he said,and then referred to Obamas famous actionable intelligence statement.
