Does anyone have the number of civilians Obama has murdered? I’ve looked at several sources, but they all report different numbers.
One could start with counting those murdered when AlAwlaki was murdered (I believe he was murdered with other civilians), adding the number murdered in the Libyan War and the number of murdered in Pakistan. I don’t know with much precision who they’re fighting in Afghhanistan, but there are many who are clearly innocent Afghani civilians who have been ordered murdered by Obama or as a result of Obama’s orders.
OTOH, there is no way to know for sure for several reasons, the most important among those is that a lot of them are secret… I don’t really know what happened in Pakistan last spring (although I’m sure Bin Laden died in late 2001), and I don’t know if the recent shootings in CO were a false flag. I don’t even know if the BP oil spill was planned.
That said, mere mortals being able to give an absolutely precise and correct answer to the question “how many civilians were murdered by this head of state?” is impossible.
Well even a rough estimate will suffice.

obama didn’t kill that
killing is much different from murder.
if someone gets shot at, then they shoot at the attacker and miss and kill a child, they did not murder that child, although they did kill the child. there was no premeditation and motive to kill victoms of collateral damage.
I’m talking about authorizing predator drone strikes knowing beforehand that it will kill women and children. If I was going to murder an individual by ramming my car into him and he had people in his car with him, would I be responsible with the murder for those people, if they all died?
if one knows there is women and children, sure thats murder of them, and a whole line of people are guilty of that murder including way more than just the president as if its one man acting alone.
at what point is it murder from the militant jihadist that uses women and children as a shield?
That would be “collateral damage” then, right?
i think the killings need to be done with guns or other forms where the targets are the ones killed.
the drone strikes radius makes it negligent.
i’m not sure if strikes have been ordered to specificly involve children, but the strikes need to make sure there are none in the area.
