...in Pakistan. Here's one example:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/carne-ross/us-drone-strikes-and-civi_b_203968.html

"They have an undeniable benefit, because we have disrupted AQ operations and damaged AQ cells in Pakistan. But they have a negative strategic effect in that they incite Punjabi militancy, which is the biggest problem in Pakistani right now." Mr Kilcullen said the hit rate on drone attacks was "unacceptably low". He said the US had killed 14 mid-level or lower level al-Qaeda leaders since 2006 but the strikes had killed 700 civilians. "That's a hit rate of two per cent on 98 per cent collateral. It's not moral."

That quote was from 4 months ago. Where are all the cries of war crimes?

There are also comparisons between Israel and NATO coalition forces:

And one Colonel Kemp from the UK:

Kemp was commander of the British forces in Afghanistan - but maybe you believe since then, he's a paid off zionist shill? :eyes:
