List of children killed by drone strikes under Obama.

[T.Horton]

is there a list of children that Bush killed?

[fight_professor]

Very sad losses of life.

[Chups]

Children killed by those who voted for Obama.......if we wanna go that far.

Sandy Hook parents voted for Obama, justice served?

is there a list of children that Bush killed?

Yeah, really. Some of the same people in here complaining never had an issue with this until Obama was elected. It's pseudo concern and outrage concealing something else they don't like about him.

[Larry the boss]

well lets list the children killed by those 2 atomic bombs we dropped in the 40's

[Left Hook Tua]

drones with guided hellfires is weak.

use some b-52's and carpet bomb.

more use of cluster munitions and white phosphorous.
do they still have those 15,000-20,000 lb. fuel air explosives dropped from c-130's?

get that list looking proper with some real numbers.

Collateral damage.

[2501]

Collateral damage is part of war. It happens and it's sad. I understand the plight of everyone who's suffered loss at the hands of the USA. I would feel the same way. But I'm an American and the targeted want to kill Americans. What other ways are there to target them?

[squealpiggy]

Do we have a list of children killed by Pakistani Taliban? Maybe we could look at, say, Balochistan. Or we could look at the bombings of Ahmadi mosques in Lahore. That's without even taking into account 9/11, Madrid, Mumbai, London...

So these what, 107 children* in Pakistan killed in drone attacks mostly as collateral damage, pale in comparison to the children killed deliberately in Pakistan because of their ethnic group or because they follow the wrong Islamic sect. It's sad that people die as a consequence of war, but 107 kids of varying ages in about five years of attacks really demonstrates how much effort the Obama administration makes to avoid non-combatant casualties.

By contrast the single attack on the mosque in Lahore produced 86 deliberate noncombatant deaths.

*It should be noted that 43 of those listed are males 16 and up who are likely to be combatants and of those about a quarter are 18 and over which would make them legal adults in the US and eligible to join up for military service. All in all over half of those reported in Pakistan are males 14 and older and would therefore be likely to be armed fighters. There's evidence of the Taliban recruiting Afghan boys as young as 11 to fight with them.

Oh and I would also like to point out that the total number of children aged 6 or under killed under Obama by drone strikes is 13. So all of those people disingenuously comparing these number to Sandy Hook saying "Well you care about those children, not about these" should bear in mind that in a single event 20 six year olds were gunned down in cold blood deliberately. Not as an indirect consequence of being close by a combat zone but on purpose by a ******ed loser who wanted to, and succeeded in making a name for himself.
