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.

you will be taken more seriously if you don’t make posts as absurdly illogical as this one.

Hey, thanks for the drive-by comment, Boob.

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 this had been developing before the coronation (and I hope they got the right people – especially since innocents appear to have been killed).

I suspect the Bush Admin typed it up for Chairman Obama to attatch his signature.

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.

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 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.
