There is only one way that the President could be excused for what he said and that would be if he is being fed false information.
There is simply no question from the years of reporting on this issue, that many, many more civilians have been killed than terrorists. Maybe someone should show him some of the photos or introduce him to some of those, like I believe, Robert Fisk who witnessed the aftermath of one of these strikes, the children blown to bits, the women hardly recognizable.
Thank you for keeping on telling the truth, despite the efforts made to cover all this up.
I don't know if you read Jeremy Schahill's excellent article on the 'Secret War In Pakistan' but he talks about the use of drones, who is operating that system and from where. Airc, it is the CIA with help from Blackwater, now with a different name. Murderers still working for the US it seems.
I feel for the victims, I've seen their pleas to their governments to stop this killing. No one gets a pass for these kinds of actions imo. I didn't give one to Bush, nor did most on the left, but the silence now is deafening.
