EXTREMELY well-hidden fun fact: The Obama administration has fired bombs in Pakistan this week, without first attempting to negotiate or share even one cup of tea and a nice biscuit with the al-Qaeda folks they were targeting. And certainly no Miranda rights or legal representation. They just fired rockets from an aerial drone and killed ‘em.
And of course in the process, innocent people are likely to have been, um, “needlessly slaughtered in an obvious war-mongering and totally hateful war-crime which the U.N. did not approve in advance, meaning Obama is now a war criminal who should be impeached and then, I don’t know, arrested and jailed, or something, and the world will HATE the imperialist terrorist nation of America and everything it stands for.” (I think that’s what they called it when these sorts of things happened under Bush…).
At least they didn’t “torture them” by dripping water on their heads at Club Gitmo before supper and dessert.
• Death toll from missile strikes in Pakistan now at 22
• Death toll in two ‘US missile strikes’ in Pakistan rises to 21: official
The strikes were the first under new US President Barack Obama and effectively dashed any hopes that Pakistani officials were nurturing that the new administration in Washington will halt such strikes.
Don’t get me wrong. I “fully support the troops”.
