Here's one interesting comment, however:

Last week, Pakistan’s interior minister, Rehman Malik, reported that there have been 336 drone attacks on Pakistan over the last eight years, claiming 2,300 victims. Fully 80 percent of those killed, he said, were innocent civilians. Now, I'm sure the Pakis may have an interesting definition of innocent civilians, but it does represent both a troubling number and additional deterioration of relations with a Middle Eastern country.

From a source I suspect you'd fell some affinity for: http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2012/10/dron-o25.html
That's absolutely nothing compared to the havoc wreaked by yer boy, Dubya, in Iraq. Nearly 175,000 civilians were killed in that clusterf*ck. Morever, when exactly did Pakistani public officials become credible about anything? They've spoken out of both sides of their mouths on the drone strikes since day one.
