Obama Oversees "Kill List" in Secret Drone War

[Blart]

The New York Times broke the story of Obama's in-depth involvement in the drone program, but it paints him as a hero overseeing our national defense.

Half of the victims in Obama's drone wars are children (http://www.democracynow.org/2011/11/7/us_drone_kills_16_year_old). Not all are collateral damage - Obama personally signs off on killing minors, including the teenage girls mentioned in the NYT article. He also signs off on killing US citizens, including signing the death warrant of a 16 year old boy born in Denver (http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2097899,00.html).

Salon does a much better job covering this than the NYT,


In short, the official tally of civilian deaths is low because Obama has reversed the burden of proof. Any man within the designated age range is presumed guilty and eligible for termination. Imagine what Obama would say if this defense were offered for the killing of Trayvon Martin.http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/frame_game/2012/05/obama_s_drone_war_the_kill_list_leaves_out_the_rea l_story_.html

Obama does what he has to do, what any President will have to do.

There's a pretty good argument that by purposefully slaughtering children and civilians, Obama is fuelling terror.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/29/americas-drone-campaign-terror

"A decade ago, critics warned that the "war on terror" would spread terrorism rather than stamp it out. That is exactly what happened. Obama has now renamed the campaign "overseas contingency operations" and is switching the emphasis from boots on the ground to robots.

But, as the destabilisation of Pakistan and growth of al-Qaida in Yemen shows, the impact remains the same. The drone war is a predatory war on the Muslim world, which is feeding hatred of the US – and fuelling terror, not fighting it."


Also, he's not really earning that Nobel Peace Prize by killing teenagers who were filming the drones for a documentary.

Obama's Nobel Peace Prize was a total joke,. The award means nothing now. Still though he has to kill terrorists and I support him doing it.

You're the terrorist anytime you oppose gov't policy.

This won't have any legs and I will tell you why.

Conservatives don't feel bad for terrorists babies. Liberals only care about them if it's a Republican president pulling the switches. So don't expect to see any protests calling Obama a baby killer.

sure, but Cons do love to catch Barry (or any Prog) being occasionally guilty of something (anything) that is normal, SOP, business as usual for them. "See! Their side does [insert nauseating policy here] too!!!"

Its more telling that anti war protesters get neutered under Obama. He can kill babies but they still hope for change. Not to mention every soldier that has died in Afghan since Obama said he was just giving up in 2014 died for nothing. You don't say we quit on this day then continue to let soldiers die. Anyone who thinks this President has a great foreign policy is high on crack. He's killed a bunch of people, that is it.

Go to your local Occupy and ask how they feel Obama is handling the wars.

Infowars and Prisonplanet are from Alex Jones, not a reliable source. Further, I don't understand what shooting Radio Shack helicopters has to do with drones.

The bottom line is children dying is an acceptable part of war when a democrat is in the WH. Otherwise, the president and his admin. need to be brought up on charges for killing the innocent. Bush and his admin. need to brought up on war crimes for killing the innocent, while Obama and his admin. should be admired and get medals for being so tough on war and the killing of the innocent is just an unfortunate part of the war against terrorism. That is how the game is played. Notice the liberals around here and in the media avoid talking about this issue since they do not know how to defend Obama considering how they felt when Bush was in the WH without looking like idiots. But then again, that shouldn't stop them since that is the case with all other issues, so what's one more.
