Barack Obama said during a debate and a speech in August of 2007,  the following about Pakistan:

"Let me make this clear: There are terrorists holed up in those mountains, that murdered 3,000 Americans," said Obama during the counterterrorism address.
 
"If we have actionable intelligence about high-valued terrorist targets and if President Musharraf will not act, we will."

Other candidates during the primaries, including  Hillary Clinton and John McCain, tried to make hay over those comments back then, remember?

John McCain:

"Will we risk the confused leadership of an inexperienced candidate who once suggested bombing our ally, Pakistan?" asked the Arizona senator.

McCain later reiterated his criticism.

The next day, he said, “You make plans and you work with the other country that is your ally and friend, which Pakistan is.  You don’t broadcast and say that you’re going to bomb a country without their permission.”

Well, it appears that our nation already had ‘permission’ to use drones and missiles in Pakistan – way back when the war first started.

The United States has a standing agreement with Pakistan that CIA -operated Predator drones may strike Osama bin Laden’s hide-out without prior permission from Islamabad, according to people familiar with the arrangement.

One source said the free hand - an exception in a country politically sensitive to U.S. counterterrorism operations - was granted by President Pervez Musharraf early in the war if the U.S. locates bin Laden in Pakistan's rugged tribal areas, where he is thought to be hiding.

Senator Joe Biden pointed this agreement out during one of the Democratic Debates, remember?

If a junior Senior from Illinois (Obama) knew this, it makes you wonder if Senator John McCain, a member of the Senate Arms Services Committee,  is paying attention to his own governments agreements with foreign nations.
