The NYT reports that missile strikes on Pakistan have increased with Obama.
The drones missile strikes attacked the Baitullah Mehsud group, whose actions have been directed mostly at the Pakistani government, not US troops in Afghanistan. Under Bush, that group had not been targeted (the Taliban and Al Qaeda were). This is why the recent strikes represent a broadening of the US offensive in Paksitan.
The CIA has carried out more than 30 strikes since September.
