18. Yes, the US human rights monitors have labeled Obama's actions as war crimes, and so have some of us

They also have labeled Israeli actions against the Palestinians as war crimes and even went further to name Israeli officials as war criminals.

I don't think anyone here like the idea that this President has presided over drone killings but a warmonger he is not. I don't think this President lies awake at night trying figure out which new ME country he can destabilize and bomb to smithereens. He is not a member of the PNAC. Unfortunately he has to play the hand that has been dealt. He tried to re-deal the hand by pulling troops out of Iraq..a promise he kept..and for that he has been roundly criticized by the very people who illegally got us into the invasion of that country which has spawned a destabilized ME that will hardly recover. He is not a warmonger. He is and has done what he feels is in the best interest of protecting Americans and many here would be the first to criticize him if took no action against the powerful militants rising in the ME and Arab countries. No, no wait...we already criticized for that. Now we are criticizing him for taking action. Whatever action he takes, he will be criticized and unlike Republican Presidents he will not have the luxury of his own party standing together to support him. We will continue to push the self-fulfilling meme that he is all at once a "warmonger" "weak leader" "a dictator" "lazy" "ineffective" "guilty of inaction" "a failed President" "a divider" but "too compromising" "an appeaser" and on and on. We can thank ourselves for what the President has become in our own eyes.
