Which has what to do with my statement?

Nothing.

I'm not claiming a violation of the Geneva convention.

No wonder they hate us. Imagine if ISIS bombed a church of innocent worshippers here in America? Or a church of American's in another country? How would we react? It wouldnt have to be ISIS, it could be a military force from a Muslim county. We would be screaming for revenge. How many have we killed since Bush invaded Iraq in 2003? The number is staggering, and profoundly disturbing.

No wonder Trump is rewarding defense contractors with his new budget.

Wow.......I'll give you credit for not hiding your bigotry. It's not any more pleasant than the passive/aggressive bigots who post here and try to disguise their fear and hatred by cloaking their opinions as concerns over "national security" but at least there's no question as to where you stand.

It's sad to see people so hopped up on fear that they will condone the maiming and killing of innocent people just because they follow a different religion than yours.

Just curious, since you're being so candid about your hated, what other creeds and nationalities fall under your umbrella of genocide?

So... if the bomb had hit a church instead of a mosque, since there are christians in syria. Would that make a difference? Or, would the trumpissts still say all those people deserved what happened to them?

Wasn't it GW who decided that the Geneva Convention didn't apply to military actions that affect 'terrorists'? Otherwise, I think the US couldn't have held those people at Gitmo for so long without access to counsel or a trial, done the waterboarding, etc.

That's good, because the US did nothing wrong. If terrorists wouldn't hide among civilians like cowards, there'd be fewer civilian casualties.

We're less then 2 months into Trumps. And this is not the first incident.
It is hypocritical of you to magically turn on Obama's policies the moment that Trump doesn't change them.

For the record, I am consistent in my opposition to Obama-Trump drone policies.



NYU's study suggested that Obama-approved drone double tap policy has killed 49 people for every 1 known terrorist in Pakistan!

Obama killed hundreds of brown children in the Arab world - I am sure that that didn't create any anti-American sentiment!

I wonder why Obama sought to more heavily censor information on drones that gets released compared to Bush?

Obama bragged that he was really good at killing people with drones.

Obama ordered 10 times more drone strikes than Bush.

Obama assassinated 4 Americans with drones - no due process - not in the action of terrorism.

Obama STARTED the drone war in Yemen, where many civilians were killed - 21 civilians in this one incident.

Obama drastically increased drone strikes inside of Pakistan, against Pakistan's will.

Obama would personally select individuals from a list to be killed - collateral damage included weddings, shepherds, funerals, and those collecting body parts from his previous strikes!

Obama's drone accidentally killed hostages and then he cites American exceptionalism!

Obama sold armed drones to countries with troubling human rights violations - who cares!


MERRY CHRISTMAS - Obama announced on Christmas Day that he was sending more drones to the Middle East - Ho Ho Ho!

Obama tapped people without warrant, held people without trial, and droned suspects without due process in 1 week - KILLER!

Etc.....

"I am totally fine with Obama doing all of that and more he is so HOTTTTTTTTTTTTT and he has a (D) after his name. What?!?! Trump is continuing Obama's policies? No I am so seriously concerned and outraged, he is a terrorist!!!!" -Why America is falling apart.

Why is it our business? Why are we defining who is a terrorist and who isn't?
