Are the drone attacks in Pakistan... |
|
...a violation of International law?
And this begs the next dilemma. We railed here for years against Bush as a "war criminal" (which I think he was) but what is so different now as to remove this label from our current President?
I am serious.

So how many family members do you have serving in Afghanistan? My son-in-law is in Kandahar right now.
Are you being snide?

Politics becomes like a football game.
"Bush is a war criminal" And Obama is...(crickets chirping)...
This is the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party establishment and the wannabe "Liberals" and "Left" the cluster under that banner.
The true anti-war and pro International Law people are still alive and active. The true Liberal/Left like Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky, Juan Cole, Tom Engelhardt, etc... These individuals are not afraid to tell it like it is yet have little to no voice in our corporate owned media of radio and TV so therefore they don't exist in the minds of the masses.

And yet during the Bush years this would have made it to the "Greatest" page.
We are in trouble folks.
