Obamahitler the child killer!

Missiles fired from suspected US drones killed at least 15 people inside Pakistan today, the first such strikes since Barack Obama became president and a clear sign that the controversial military policy begun by George W Bush has not changed.

Security officials said the strikes, which saw up to five missiles slam into houses in separate villages, killed seven "foreigners" - a term that usually means al-Qaeda - but locals also said that three children lost their lives.

Just to be clear, my point isn't that the attack was a bad thing. It continued a Bush policy of applying pressure to the terrorists in the region. If kids died, that's very sad. However, in a war, it's inevitable that some innocent lives will be lost. I'm just wondering where the "Bushitler" "war crimes" people are? Isn't this the sort of thing they've been screaming about for years now? Is it ok now that a Democrat is responsible for it? Just wondering.

I don't understand - exactly *who* are you waiting for the outrage from???

The left apologists will never say a word. Just like the right won't say anything about the right. Really, who gives a shit?

Not anyone here really. Unless we have some that believe Bush is guilty of war crimes? Mostly it was just to point out the hypocrisy that's going to take place over these issues over the next 4-8 years now that a Democrat is in charge. It also illustrates that President Hopenchange isn't as Hopenchangey as advertised. Although, as I pointed out, in this case that's a good thing IMO.

But from who? Specifically? I don't get it.

Huffpo, Kos, DU, etc. The usual suspects.

Well considering that Obama said he'd be pushing for attacks into Pakistan, it shouldnt be a surprise.

That said, anyone going into this with the idea that Obama will be perfect or will not make mistakes is rather delusional.. I personally fully expect him to be like JFK.. popular due to pure charisma but lackluster presidency.. but he could prove me wrong.
