has anyone done an analysis of how many killed under Obama drone attacks and this?
Trump said he didn't give a shit about rules of engagement and this is the result.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/24/world/middleeast/us-iraq-mosul-investigation-airstrike-civilian-deaths.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share …

That is by far the darkest part of Obama's legacy. I've seen varying estimates and they are all beyond disturbing.
-
most of us outside the USA have come to accept that the USA only acts in its self interest.
-
Actually in Syria the numbers were pretty good. The problem is the drone strikes in Afghanistan/Pakistan.
-
I find those two - ESP parkistan problematic
-
Yeah, me too. Civilian casualties were lower in 2014-16, but that doesn't matter if you lost a loved one.
-
but is a loved on really a loved one if they aren't white and christian?

Oh come on, that's unfair. Stop painting all Americans with the same brush.

Obama, but let's remember Bush's Shock and Awe that started the whole freaking mess. I hate drones. No responsibility
-
When Bush went to war my Mid East hubby said, "Dear god, they don't know what they're starting. This'll go on for 30 years."
-
I think they did know what they would be starting. How cld they not? To them, war wld solve lot of probs, cause war does that

great contribution. Keep up the good work.
-
My response will be different when we have evidence this is due to Trump's rhetoric
-
When you're CIC, it's no longer just "rhetoric"
-
I agree but the NYT piece Reza tweeted out had no proof which is all I was responding too

Of course he never missed an opportunity to criticize Obama whenever there were civilian casualties (and never this large either)
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I like u bro but hating on Trump personally as a journalist hmm wen did he say that
-
He said he'd "bomb the shit out of them" and kill their family members. Aside from stealing their oil, of course.
-
that's referring to the radical Islamic terrorists not good people and refugees
-
He's clearly bombing terrorist areas in riskier ways (at best). The civilian death toll is too different. He cares less
