List of children killed by drone strikes under Obama.

Lets compare that to how many childre were killed by bee stings and being left in a car with the wondowns uo. Betcha obama killed less over the same timeframe.

[2shameless]

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.

You seem to be implying something magical about the ages 6 and under in a feeble attempt to dismiss these drone strike murders. In what way are the 4 Sandy Hook victims that were 7 years old somehow less significant than the 16 who were 6?

It is certainly the case that the utter failure of the "left" in the US to hold Democrats to the same standard as Republicans is beyond repugnant. The Republicans are utterly reprehensible, generally speaking, but the Democrats are completely corrupt as well, and Obama's drone warfare is among the greatest of scandals of our time.

[Drunken Cat]

is there a list of children that Bush killed?

See what I mean?

[Drunken Cat]

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.

Absolute nonsense.

Go on and cry racism until you are blue in the face.

The fact, however, is that Obama is criticized far less because he has a D in front of his name. The rightwing agrees with his policy. The would-be-critics on the 'left' turn a blind eye because he's a democrat.

This is an interesting debate.

[Drunken Cat]

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

To what end?

It certainly an important historical subject.

I fail to see the connection with the topic in the OP, however.

Out of the list of "children" given in the OP the overwhelming majority of them were male teenagers. If you count the four 7 year olds then there were still more children 7 and under killed at Sandy Hook than in four or five years of drone attacks.

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.

Good point. The US is just killing them to save them.

How old is this 'argument'?

Don't you believe that 9/11 was an inside job? Wouldn't that be the greatest scandal if true?

Hahaha totally inconsistent.

No you idiot. His entire point was that the US isn't just killing them. Because if they were just killing them, there would be a hell of a lot more than 107 over the course of 5 years.
