It is unimportant what I would do.

I am simply wondering if these children are 'collateral damage' to the Obama followers...

Obama made it VERY clear that he would not hesitate to send missiles into Pakistan if need be, since the Pakistan/Afghanistan border is crawling with Al Qaeda. In any case, your response is really strange.
Hello?? Bush has been sending missiles into pakistan for months - did you object when he was killing innocents?

No. Children are not collateral damage. Never, ever. Not when Bush struck and not when Obama has struck.

Does that answer your question? I'm an "Obama 'follower'" (whatever you mean by that).

ETA: So what do you do in your downtime when you're not trying to "ah-ha!" people?

So Obama is guilty in the deaths of these children....won't these deaths just lead to more terrorism???

I think Obama is in for a VERY rough time of it as he comes to realise HE is responsible for such things as this.

Yes. They could. As far as assuming responsibility, he already did...before he even became president. He told us all before Nov. 4 that he would strike Pakistan if necessary.

Why all the surprise, outrage, etc...? Oh, forget it. I should have already learned my lesson about asking legitimate questions like that one. They only lead to the runaround by those who'd rather say "AHA!" than have any real, moral convictions of their own. (shrug)

I believe the thing is people find it....'interesting' how the killing of innocent children,the attacking of another nation and such is okay to those on the left now....

It seems they had issues with these matters in the past.

I guess you don't recall when bush was in charge and ordered strikes in pakistan and afghanistan that killed women and children - the lefties on here were not happy campers - now that obama is continuing BUSH'S policies, they think it's a fine idea.

But come now, we all knew that would be the response from the Left. As long as a dem is in office, all is peachy-keen. He could be implementing the exact same policy and we won't hear a peep from the hypocrits on the Left.

I'm still waiting for the resolution from congress to defund the troops and bring then home immediately. You remember all those times they tried with bush in office? Why don't they do that now?

I don't see anybody actually saying it's okay, and I'm not being facetious here. I don't think anyone thinks it's "okay". I do think some people feel it is something that can happen when bombs are dropped.

You are trying to make the point that if Bush dropping bombs makes him a war criminal, then Obama dropping bombs makes him a war criminal. But the circumstances are vastly different. It's not the actual dropping of bombs that's criminal (at least not literally criminal). If that were true, then all war in all forms would be criminal activity.

If you aren't bothering to see that Bush actively sought war but that Obama is dealing with one that's already going on, then that's your thing...not proof of hypocrisy that you're so desperately seeking to find.

MSNBC is now reporting breaking news that the U.S. has launched missile attacks in Pakistan. George Bush up to his usual dirty tricks again so he can get McCain elected?
An example of a poster from here BEFORE Obama won the election.

I see....your guy is killing innocent children for good reasons.
