    Russia Today was reporting this much earlier. I still haven't seen mention of it in a ' coalition ' newspaper.
    It would appear that we've simply given up on identifying civilians. Killing anybody in ' enemy ' territory is now much simpler. It's the Israeli way of dealing with the opposition. Expect to see the ' human shield ' excuse in widespread use.

    Isn't it refreshing to have an (R) in office so as the Left can once again rail on about civilian casualties and what 'excuses' can then be used?

    American Foreign Policy does not change with changing governments. Perhaps if you could be bothered to look, many 'Left' posters were also criticizing Obama continual bombing in the Middle and Far East. Ironic that only yesterday one poster with an (R) to his name was complaining that the US do not bomb enough civilians!

    Apparently this happened a day before the london "terrorist" attack yet the VERY first time its mentioned by bbc was a week later, yesterday. instead bbc has been busy trying to figure out why the london attacker did what he did and deemed 100 iraqi babies and women blown up by western airstrikes as non newsworthy, or they were trying to sweep it under the rug idk. it saddens me who ever dies it doesnt matter what colour skin they have or religion they follow.

    Even now the BBC is reporting ' dozens ' killed when we know it was hundreds.
    This is the same BBC which- under Mark Thompson, married to an Israeli- refused to run a plea for material medical support for the survivors of the Israeli blitzing of Gaza.
    They lie to us by omission- the US media is worse- and they simply lie to us. Without RT we wouldn't get anywhere near a fraction of the truth.

    That's why the government wants it shut down.

    Perhaps what? If I bothered to look? If Democrats, Left leaning hibernating anti-war libs were out there....they can easily link to the thread and post number. No...they weren't out there, nobody was criticizing Obama for civilian casualties nor doctors without border incidents nor Libyan terror attacks.

    This is permitted since Jan 20th, you've deafened us with your silence prior to Trump. Now...with an (R) in office.....yer back ion the game.

    Yes, and the next thing the Democrats need to worry about is Trump bringing back the killer drone assassination program that Obama totally outlawed during his rule.

    bin laden was also TRYING to kill civilians. How many airstrikes/ObamaDroneStrikeS are we talking about? probably more than a couple. The UN has a right to and should look into it. I doubt they will find anything Nefarious.

    Comprehension is clearly not your forte. I am one of those who you would call anti-war libs and what does my first sentence in my post say. Yep it says this "American Foreign Policy does not change with changing governments." 'You' have been bombing the Middle and Far East regularly since 1991.

    The fact we've been bombing since 1991 isn't in question. The fact that you're bringing this argument to the table...today...is my comprehension, Sir. the anti-war Left isn't going to make this an issue prior to Jan 20th of this year.....and neither were you.

    Again.......let's remain right here with you......truth and justice. If American foreign policy hasn't changed.......then neither should criticism or levels of criticism change either. And yet yours do. Maybe I'm wrong.....show me you.....or anyone who thinks like you making foreign policies even a campaign issue. Was President Obama for example......held responsible for this not changing foreign policy? Was this an issue during his 2012 re-election?

    I'm right on your point, TnJ. You'd figure Islamic Terror or others would then get the point as well, long as you make America a target....long as you insist on keeping the giant awake and angry, it's not going to work out. Many fear the Russians and claim that poking the bear isn't wise. Others claim the Asian Tiger isn't one to be tamed. Why on earth would anyone want to fck with Godzilla?

    Yes- the massacre has been grossly under-reported. Perhaps you should go back and read the thread. Maybe you did- but your conditioning blanked out the point of it.

    I have critisized US & Western Foreign Policy for years.
    Here is one post "Obama just continuing US foreign policy. Only a fool would think that a president would be courageous enough to destroy his countries military exports"
    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...t-arming-saudi-arabia.476088/#post-1066651220

    And read my posts in this short thread about Western Foreign Policy of bombing so called leaders at the same time killing many in "collateral damage":
    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...rone-strike-confirmed.373128/#post-1065945458

    Or perhaps most telling is this post:
    You seem to be in the opinion that the US are in the middle east to help out the countries in the middle east?
    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...n-under-2-years.440794/page-4#post-1065769378

    It is a pity I can't find a thread I created from a few years ago about drone attacks in Afghanistan & Pakistan - they were easily found under the old web pages but not on this new web page format

    Just another day of committing WAR CRIMES for the benefit of the Military Industrial Complex.

    And here is moon......and/or the thread starter....needing to make others aware of under-reported massacres.....but I'm the one with 'conditioning' and thus blanking out points.

    Keep digging

    I'm sorry TnJ, call me unconvinced...by any of those examples.

    And it is a pity you cannot find threads about Afghanistan and Pakistan....where many of these strikes...drone, airstrikes, or Special Ops occur like the one that killed Osama Bin Laden. But Obama was bombing in Iraq where he left 5000 troops in that nation on Jan 20th. Syria where he was engaged against ISIS. Yemen where there is a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia thus creating an environment for al-Qaeda and other terror organizations to thrive and prosper. It is a pity I cannot find howling about the agreement with Iran that included cash for hostages that we're not permitted to call ransom. It's a pity we cannot ind howling about releasing 5 terrorists from Gitmo in exchange for a traitor soldier....TnJ. I'm sorry what? Oh...."Gitmo?" Oh.....that's the prison facility that remained open every day of the Obama Administration after he declared it would be closed. It's a pity I can find posts with Members who once claimed it was Gitmo, our facility in Cuba, that was the main source and inspiration for Islamic hatred towards this nation.

    Those are the sorriest excuses for examples I've ever seen in defense of what I'm declaring, T. I want to see outrage. I want to see examples of outrage from anyone on the Left regarding foreign policies that include civilian casualties. I'm still waiting to see those.

    =I cannot prove Blackbeard wrong nor address his argument. Best start name to distract from the fact that Blackbeard has exposed my arguments for nonsense. Game playing is my thing, I'll do that.

    I've proven you write nonsense. I've shown that your post (number 9) was complete rubbish. To make it easier for you to understand, the dates in my post (number 18 were all written when Obama was President. Go on, you can do it, shout "fake news"
