Originally posted by squealpiggy View PostOh 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.

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.

Originally posted by joseph5620 View PostYeah, 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.
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.

Originally posted by squealpiggy View PostDo 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.
How old is this 'argument'?
