May 13, 2009 "Lew Rockwell" -- If you are a poor, hapless Afghan civilian whose family's bodies were ripped apart by U.S. bombs, does it really make a difference to you if the air "strikes" were ordered by the Moron from Texas, George W Bush, or the Agent of Change, Barack Obama? I would think not. If you were a Pakistani civilian whose village had been bombed by the U.S. would your heart be comforted by the fact that the mad bombers have a new, young, hip "Commander-in-Chief" who makes funny jokes to all the stenographers known as "The Washington Press Corps"? I sincerely doubt that as well.
Barack Obama sold himself to the country as someone who would bring massive "change" to the policies of the U.S. government, but of course when it comes to the favorite activity of that cancerous organism, warring against wholly innocent civilian populations in foreign countries, there will be no change. In fact, even the pleas of the President of the supposedly free and democratic country of Afghanistan are meaningless in the face of the U.S. government's desire to enforce its will on as much of the Earth as possible. I wonder if Americans would feel like they lived in a "free democracy" if the U.S. was occupied by a foreign military power that regularly killed our people and refused to stop? A power that calls refraining from murder as fighting with "one hand tied behind our back" as White House "National Security" Advisor James Jones recently did? I am pretty sure they emphatically would NOT.
This morning's news brings more information to us of "Barry's" latest slaughter, with at least 8 people in Pakistan dead, none of whom ever hurt a single innocent American. If they had hurt any U.S. soldiers in the region, that, of course, is wholly a result of the imperialists in Washington invading the region in the first place. To kill someone for defending themselves against aggression is the definition of tyrannical is it not? Or is the U.S. Government so holy, so infallible and morally upright that any who defy it are to be disposed of, like so much human garbage? Is a country that claims to be Christian really ready to accept the blasphemous idea that the U.S. Government is above any laws, even those of the God that the majority of Americans claim to believe in?
The Chinese proverb that opens this piece is true in all times and places, so let's call Mr. Obama by his real names: Wall Street Stooge, Zionist lickspittle, National Socialist, liar and above all, mass murder

============
The youngest was listed as 8-day-old baby Sayed Musa, son of Sayed Adam. Fifty-three victims were girls under the age of 18, and 40 were boys. Only 22 were men 18 or older.
The U.S. military continues to dispute the toll and a military spokesman said some of the names could be fake.
The dispute over the number of dead has worsened tension between Washington and Kabul, despite apologies President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made during a visit to Washington by President Hamid Karzai last week.
The Afghan government has endorsed the list, and Karzai went on U.S. television to call for an end to all U.S. air strikes, only to be rebuffed by Washington. Afghan officials say the issue helps insurgents by turning the public against foreign forces.

It is a given that the buck stops at the Commander-in-Chief and that therefore he is responsible for all actions by the forces under his command. But the title of this piece is ridiculous. What we know of BO is that he will abhor any civilian deaths and it will at minimum on his conscience along with all the other massive problems facing him every time he wakes up.
I don’t agree with the approach that every political problem should be met with overwhelming military force just because you have the most powerful armed forces on the planet. I have no idea (do you?) that BO thinks or does not think the same. But I do feel that given that he was inaugurated less than 4 months ago we should give him time to give the present strategy time to succeed or fail before another knee-jerk change.
There is not an easy solution to the Pakistan / Afghanistan situation. If there was one, it would have been done years ago. It’s a free country so you can write whatever crap you like but at the end of the day the person who will make the difference is Barack Obama himself and we should all give him space and time (for a while) to find a way through this calamity. Dan Speilberg, just be thankful that you don’t have BO’s in-tray before making your cheap and risible accusations. Shame on you.

Very tragic .

Sad but Obama did not create this problem. I hope he will be active in participating to fix this.

I see everyone has approached this topic from an American forces point of view.
Would you feel different about it if you were tyhe victim....if your mother, brother or sister were killed?
