[viddler id=f166caa9&w=247&h=227]"Those who would slaughter innocent men, women, and children must know that the United States will do more than simply strengthen our defenses. … Around the world and here at home there are those who would attack our citizens and who would slaughter innocent men, women, and children in pursuit of their murderous agenda." –U.S. President Barak Obama, 2009 & 2010
So from his statements here and elsewhere, it would seem that Mr. Obama is implacably opposed to those who "would slaughter innocent men, women, and children."
Yet we know that he and his Administration have stepped- up use of drone assassinations — so stories reporting successful drone assassinations shouldn’t be a surprise – – –
We also know that drone and air strikes are notoriously inaccurate, regularly resulting in so-called "collateral damage" — and that government officials traditionally lie.
So, it should also be no surprise that Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud is alive — also here and here.
But, if it wasn’t Hakimullah Mehusud they assassinated and otherwise droned to death, which innocent men, women and children did they slaughter — in pursuit of their murderous agenda?
Obviously it wasn’t Israelis or the uproar would be deafening; must have been just cattle.
"…must have been just cattle."
Ha! I chuckled, then realized how perversely true this is. Unless, as I suspect, people would be more horrified at the thoughtless obliteration of innocent cattle than the destruction of a person's life.
That is a fantastic question that intentionally never gets asked in the MSM. The more you turn statistics, ragheads, or any other version of "others" into real, irreplaceble, human beings with families and friends, the harder it is to get people to discard their assassinations as irrelevant.
Who did they drone to death? That's easy. The peasant farmers that our Government has spent ten years and hundreds of billions of dollars "protecting" us from. That's who.

Hypothetically, let’s see it like this: A cop in Los Angeles, in a blue painted APACHE with Hellfire Missiles, gets a hot tip on the radio; “you have ENEMY INSURGENTS at 5 miles, their coordinates are……xxx at yyy, and 4.9 miles, your 350 heading…”
Then, barely without thinking, another person in a dark room in Langley, VA, walks over to the drone operator, and says; “your new target is at these coordinates…please execute the mission on that grid coordinate” and the drone operator gets another set of scribbled coordinates and he enters that, and then guides the drone he’d flying to within striking range IN LOS ANGELES CITY LIMITS.
well, you don’t need to be a frigging rocket scientist to see where this is going. Under the McCain / Liebermauschwantz Act of 2010, your now ‘expatriated’ on U.S. soil, ‘convicted’ by secret tribunal ASS, can now be summarily SLAUGHTERED right here on U.S. soil. That’s right!! On US SOIL.
unfortunately for the Apache Pilot, he misinterprets a ‘5’ for a ‘niner’ and plugs that into the computer, which he put the cross hairs on and fired the Hellfire missile into. In the room at Langley, the tsgt. that handed the drone pilot the coordinates, wrote his ‘7’ without the vinculum, and it looks like a ‘one’ instead.
a 30 mm gatling gun, and a hellfire missile, cut to ribbons a group of Los Angeles commuters in one location, and destroy a local hospital at another site.
All too very plausible in the new obombaton war of ‘I can go to press club dinners and joke about how fun it is to murder people who not only were never tried in any court of law, for any crime, but whom I SOLELY DECIDED NEED TO DIE for crimes against the U.S.S.A.
you have the picture. this is lunacy. This is NOT the country I thought I grew up in. IT’s a fucking NIGHTMARE, that’s what the fuck it is!
Come on, DOESITMATTER, relax–you know they won't blast away on US soil with drones until the Insurance Companies have had the chance to redline.
To the US it really it does not matter whom its war macines kill.The goal is to subdue the people of the conquered country.
We suck at war and intimidation… Come on 4yrs and 2 -3rd world Countries later. Bring the boys and girls home for the 4th….NOW
This war will not end till every arms dealer has sold his/her last artillary for profit. I do not fear the taliban. You cannot kill their extremeism. Maybe if they only could savor the flavor of our best pies and cakes, we would not be so infidel-ish.
