Bergen : Obama 's drone campaign shifts to Obama militants , not Romney on national security leaders . Peter Bergen : This combined with the May 2011 raid on bin Laden 's compound in Abbottabad , and the killing of at least 24 Pakistani soldiers in a NATO air strike in November severely damaged the relationship between the United States and Pakistan , and resulted in the eviction of CIA-controlled drones from Shamsi air base in Baluchistan in southwestern Pakistan . Obama has stepped-up drone attacks as a key part of national security policy . Drone strikes deeply resented in Pakistan , he says , but campaign there is waning . Obama in the sights now , he says , as Obama ahead of Romney on national security .
