grumpier User ID: 1189758 China 06/07/2013 08:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to openchannel.nbcnews.com] with video inside By Richard Engel and Robert Windrem NBC News The CIA did not always know who it was targeting and killing in drone strikes in Pakistan over a 14-month period, an NBC News review of classified intelligence reports shows. About one of every four of those killed by drones in Pakistan between Sept. 3, 2010, and Oct. 30, 2011, were classified as "other militants,” the documents detail. The “other militants” label was used when the CIA could not determine the affiliation of those killed, prompting questions about how the agency could conclude they were a threat to U.S. national security. The uncertainty appears to arise from the use of so-called “signature” strikes to eliminate suspected terrorists -- picking targets based in part on their behavior and associates. A former White House official said the U.S. sometimes executes people based on “circumstantial evidence.” Three former senior Obama administration officials also told NBC News that some White House officials were worried that the CIA had painted too rosy a picture of its success and likely ignored or missed mistakes when tallying death totals. NBC News has reviewed two sets of classified documents that describe 114 drone strikes over 14 months in Pakistan and Afghanistan, starting in September 2010. The documents list locations, death and injury tolls, alleged terrorist affiliations, and whether the killed and injured were deemed combatants or non-combatants.

grumpier User ID: 1189758 China 06/07/2013 08:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.policymic.com] Predator Drone Strikes: 50 Civilians Are Killed For Every 1 Terrorist, and the CIA Only Wants to Up Drone Warfare Despite claims from the administration that drone strikes have killed very few civilians, multiple independent reports confirm that Obama is severely downplaying the wreckage that these drone strikes inflict. It is ultimately impossible to get exact numbers, but a new study from Columbia Law School’s Human Rights Institute finds that the number of Pakistani civilians killed in drone strikes are “significantly and consistently underestimated” by tracking organizations which are trying to take the place of government estimates on casualties. There are estimates as high as 98% of drone strike casualties being civilians (50 for every one "suspected terrorist"). The Bureau of Investigative Journalism issued a report detailing how the CIA is deliberately targeting those who show up after the sight of an attack, rescuers, and mourners at funerals as a part of a "double-tap" strategy eerily reminiscient of methods used by terrorist groups like Hamas. These numbers and reports alone should cast much doubt on the effectiveness at protecting the U.S. and combating terrorism that the Obama admnistration uses as justification for drone strikes. If a drone kills an actual terrorist but leaves multiple, sometimes dozens, of innocent civilians vaporized as well, this creates a brand new set of enemies and blowback. According to Jeremy Scahill’s reporting at The Nation, U.S. drone strikes in Yemen are the primary source for Al-Qaeda’s presence in the Arabian Peninsula. Obama’s “signature strikes” — where targets are hit for displaying “suspicious behavior” and which Petraeus also wants to expand — are backfiring and can only boomerang back to us. more at the link If you think a thread is important enough for others to read, go to page one and click on the green pin!!! |

No one hates to see innocent death more than a soldier causing it. For the most part. But i belonged to a team that chased these militants back across the border to safety after they made lots of cowardly hit and run missions that killed plenty of civillians and children. War is not PC. Please understand that i value human life above everything else, even if my job was to eliminate it. I am not getting into whether we should be there or not. That is a different thread. But just know war is ugly and there IS collateral damage on all sides. We have pretty much decimated to infostructure of the jihdist due to these strikes. So is it a necessary evil? I dont know. Is not mine to question why. Please know that i will see the enemy faces of death for the rest of my life as well as my brothers in arms. This is just what it takes to win a war. All morons hate it when you call them a moron. People always think something's all true. It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to. -Holden Caulfield |

This is just what it takes to win a war. The fact of the matter is that YOU think you have decimated the Jihad infrastructure but not because of Your Personal knowledge or involvement but because YOU are being told that is what YOU are doing, have done and continue to do. Simple way of putting it, The Government points, says "that's a bad guy" and you go kill him/them, then the Government pats you on the back and says "good job!" Then later on in life reality hits YOU and YOU realize what YOU really have done and how many innocent lives YOU have taken in the name of Greed, Growth and Money. Spiral down hill lose everything you ever loved and even your ability to love, through guilt. Then YOU kill yourself. The war on terror has nothing to do with protecting USA it has everything to do with expansion and providing security for global corporations seeking natural resources (stabilizing unstable situations). Or in other words, getting rid of the people that own the land and are opposed to giving it over to corporations for development. |
