Six more bodies were recovered from the rubble of an Al-Qaeda den hit by a suspected US missile, pushing the death toll in two separate strikes to 21, security officials said Saturday.”Six bodies of local tribesmen were found in the rubble of the house which was destroyed in a US missile strike on Friday just outside the town of Mir Ali in North Waziristan district,” the official said.
On Friday officials said eight people including five foreigners — Pakistani officials use the term “foreigners” to describe Al-Qaeda militants — died in the missile strike at the house of a pro-Taliban tribesman near Mir Ali.
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.
Hours later another suspected US drone fired two missiles into a house in Wana, the main town in South Waziristan, killing seven people.
President Obama needs to go on trial as a war criminal as well as the rest of his blood-thirsty warmonger Administration. Congress needs to cut off funding for Obama’s War immediately.

I thought the Dear One was going to win over our enemies by passing out free unicorns. Speaking of which, where’s my unicorn? I believe I was promised a unicorn.
Funny, I don’t recall the MSM leading off with this little tidbit of info. I thought they were supposed to be reporting the news of The Snob. (SARC)

I’m sorry. You’re unicorn has been hooked up to a food tube and wired to his large screen TV. Since the election he is maxin’ and relaxin’ in perfect socialist-state- comfort and he has NO TIME to visit you, or do any other kind of work. He’s doing bong hits with My Little Pony right now. Stop harshin’ his buzz! Nazi!
I did n’t know they were giving out unicorns, I want one!!!!!
Wow, what a man O is! I’m weak in the knees!
“We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.” ~ Barack Obama August 14, 2009

So, seriously… how many presidents have ever ordered air strikes on their third day in office???
I want to know if there was real, actionable intelligence that justified and necessitated this strike — which seems awfully coincidental for a presidents third day in office — or if Obama is killing Afghanis in an effort to prove something.
AE I am willing to bet Truman was ordering some air strikes and approving various war plans, and all that, probably pretty darn close to his first hour in office. Not sure just how approval for air strikes and similar war related stuff worked back when half the world didn’t have a telephone and families still gathered around their radios, but I am pretty sure he didn’t wait a week or two to roll his sleeves up and prosecute the war.
Nixon was also probably doing the same when he was sworn in, given we were heavily involved in Vietnam.
Guess those are the only two that came to my head.
I suspect this had been developing before the coronation (and I hope they got the right people – especially since innocents appear to have been killed).
I’ll certainly give him credit if/when he does the right thing (seeing as how I’m ready to criticize when he doesn’t).
All the better if it give the KosKids heartburn.
Obama now allows more USA abortions, and frees up spending for more international abortions with the sweep of his executive order pen. Add that to the killing of innocents in Pakistan…it is a stunning start for the new order of things. Change. Did anyone ask if is was going to be change for the better?
Where were the trials for these people, or is Chairman Obama the judge, jury and executioner. Just look at him swagger around.
I thought everybody was supposed to like us again. He’s pissed off the Vatican and working toward pissing off “Pock-eeeeeee-stahn”. Israel can’t be too far behind. Who’s next?
I suspect the Bush Admin typed it up for Chairman Obama to attatch his signature.
you will be taken more seriously if you don’t make posts as absurdly illogical as this one.
The only thing thats illogical is the rank hypocrisy of the left, Bob. And there’s nothing illogical about pointing it out.
define the illogic in this bob. Please, I’m waiting
The addition of “Obama’s War” was a nice touch. 🙂
Hey, thanks for the drive-by comment, Boob.
Ha! A welcome tonic to the inauguration’s sentimentalities.
ok, let me help flesh out the illogical nature of your reasoning:
1) this strike happened on probably the second or third day of obama’s administration. it’s more than likely that he didn’t exactly order this strike, but instead the particular military unit was carrying out a mission from before. it’s not like the whole military got together the day of the inauguration and completely changed all strategy. that takes time.
2) no credible critics have been calling bush a war criminal for going after osama bin laden/al qaeda in afghanistan and waziristan. i know all those silly muslims are the same in the eyes of conservatives (go back to 2004 exit polls that showed that something like 75% of bush voters thought iraq attacked us on 9/11), but that’s not the case. in fact, if you do your research, you’ll see that most democrats supported military operations in afghanistan after 9/11. the whole “war crimes” thing has to do with invading a country that did not attack us or threaten to attack us (that would be iraq, my friends), creating the humanitarian crisis that exists there now (upwards of 100,000 iraqi civilians killed, millions of displaced refugees, not to mention 4000 brave american men and women killed for a farce of a war).
hope that helps.
