Remember how Obama said that US drone attacks have "not caused a huge number of civilian casualties?" Yeah, turns out they've been targeting rescuers at the scenes of previous attacks. And firing on mourners at funerals

War. It sucks, and we shouldn't be doing it. If you don't like what happens in a war, then work to make us stop the war.

Not arguing for America's multiple wars, but are the rescuers and mourners predominately civilians or the original target's comrades in arms?

And I suppose Conservatives/GOPers are OUTRAGED by this, but I don't care. If you associate with terrorists you are putting your life (and your kids) in jeopardy. They made a choice to aid and abet. Tough luck.

This is like that sniper with the record number of kills; if someone gets sniped and a bystander goes to help then obviously they are also a turrist.

Obama never asked for the war. The military is in Afghanistan doing the same thing it has always done. To blame this on Obama is like blaming the next President for any trouble in Libya. The Bush administration created this Holy war. Anything that happens is the fault of these dominionist Christians.

I remember the mourner thing.
So they killed an alqaeda number 2. And the whole funeral was business acquaintances hoping for a promotion to new number two. As is tradition that's where the decision is made.They nailed them good. Nothing of value was lost.

So, they were looters? Is that what you're saying? In that case, good riddance then.

I find it funny that the same conservatrolls who are complaining about these deaths are also rooting for us to invade Iran, which would kill far greater numbers of both innocent civilians and our own military men and women.
It's not right to kill innocent people, even in war. This isn't a good thing. However, I'd gladly take Obama's drone-centric approach over one that puts servicemen directly in the line of fire.

Say you're a farmer, and there's an explosion on a road a half mile away from you. You run over there and find the wreckage of a car and some dead and wounded people, some of whom may have been bystanders when the explosion happened. You try to help people who are hurt without knowing who they are. Somehow this makes you a legitimate target in America's war? Only if America doesn't allow the words "war" and "crime" to be used in the same sentence.

Stopped reading there. This guy has no credibility. When the chattering class went berserk with similar stories about Bush I dismissed them just like I will when it's about Obama. There are enough legit issues with presidents that things like this are unnecessary. The inevitable sensational claims of baby killing can safely be ignored. Birthers, 9-11 conspirators and their like can suck it.
