What Civilian Casualties? To Barack Obama, Women And Children In Syria And Iraq Are A Subhuman Species
While one can't help but snicker when the administration of a Nobel Peace Prize winner has launched at least 7 offensive wars, mosty against Muslim countries with virtually none obtaining prior approval from Congress, until now Obama at least showed the sense to realize that maintaining proper "made for propaganda media" optics matters, even if his underlying actions were the very definition of hypocrisy. And then something snapped. As reported by Yahoo News, the White House has acknowledged for the first time that strict standards President Obama imposed last year to prevent civilian deaths from U.S. drone strikes will not apply to U.S. military operations in Syria and Iraq.
Now, we showed last weekend that Syrian "rebels", those people the US is supposedly helping, are furious at US bombing of their own people, but we wonder just how they will feel when they realize that according to the most powerful representative of the "free world" they are actually, well, subhuman and not worthy of the same civil rights as people in every other part of the globe (bombed by US drones).
According to Yahoo News, a White House statement confirmed the looser policy came in response to questions about reports that as many as a dozen civilians, including women and young children, were killed when a Tomahawk missile struck the village of Kafr Daryan in Syria's Idlib province on the morning of Sept. 23.
it has a "looser policy standards" when it comes to preventing civilian deaths from U.S. drone strikes in U.S. military operations in Syria and Iraq.
came in response to questions about reports that as many as a dozen civilians, including women and young children, were killed when a Tomahawk missile struck the village of Kafr Daryan in Syria's Idlib province on the morning of Sept. 23.
And if being equated with monkeys wasn't enough of an insult, the US also used its masterpiece fabrication, the "Khorasans" as the justification to do to Syrians what last year's false flag war campaign accused Syria's Assad of doing.
So this is what the US government is not telling you:
The village has been described by Syrian rebel commanders as a reported stronghold of the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front where U.S officials believed members of the so-called Khorasan group were plotting attacks against international aircraft.
But at a briefing for members and staffers of the House Foreign Affairs Committee late last week, Syrian rebel commanders described women and children being hauled from the rubble after an errant cruise missile destroyed a home for displaced civilians. Images of badly injured children also appeared on YouTube, helping to fuel anti-U.S. protests in a number of Syrian villages last week.
“They were carrying bodies out of the rubble. … I saw seven or eight ambulances coming out of there,” said Abu Abdo Salabman, a political member of one of the Free Syria Army factions, who attended the briefing for Foreign Affairs Committee members and staff. “We believe this was a big mistake.”
And this is what US "assistance" looks like:
But the bottom line is this: Caitlin Hayden, a spokesperson for the National Security Council, said that a much-publicized White House policy that President Obama announced last year barring U.S. drone strikes unless there is a “near certainty” there will be no civilian casualties — "the highest standard we can meet," he said at the time — does not cover the current U.S. airstrikes in Syria and Iraq.
The “near certainty” standard was intended to apply “only when we take direct action ‘outside areas of active hostilities,’ as we noted at the time,” Hayden said in an email. “That description — outside areas of active hostilities — simply does not fit what we are seeing on the ground in Iraq and Syria right now.”
Hayden added that U.S. military operations against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) in Syria, "like all U.S. military operations, are being conducted consistently with the laws of armed conflict, proportionality and distinction."
The laws of armed conflict prohibit the deliberate targeting of civilian areas and require armed forces to take precautions to prevent inadvertent civilian deaths as much as possible.
But one former Obama administration official said the new White House statement raises questions about how the U.S. intends to proceed in the conflict in Syria and Iraq, and under what legal authorities.
Wait, someone actually wondered under what legal authority the Obama administration is killing innocent people? How dare they: don't they know Obama has a Nobel peace prize, so none of his actions are subject to any scrutiny: surely the president himself is his own best moral censor.
But putting the bullshit aside, the bottom line here is quite simple: in order to help Qatar traverse Syria with its own Gazprom-bypassing natgas pipeline to Europe, and wipe out the same ISIS it created, and which has caused so many headaches for the Saudis, which in exchange for getting the US to bomb ISIS agreed to dump crude, split up OPEC once again, send the price of oil plunging and cause a Russian budget crisis... Obama not only has zero qualms to kill innocent women and children, but in doing so he has made it clear that Iraq and Syria's woman and children are not even worth of being called human.
In fact, as one other charismatic dictator several decades ago claimed, they are "subhuman" and thus exempt from any innocent civilian deaths policy.

Dear US President Barry Soetoro,
You're a mad man, seek help.

This is what Empires do. It's nothing more (or less) than that. As Empires go into decline, they have to resort to increasingly extreme and gruesome measures to hang onto their power, extend the illusion, and prolong the looting. Every single Empire has done it, on the way to collapse. Open massacres of civilians for political reasons isn't just the core definition of "Terrorism," it's also a sign that your Empire has reached a certain point of decline.
Growing up in Canada and living next to the U.S. it was like living in a nice house next to a nice enough neighbor. That neighbor was richer, more ambitious, actually reaching for the stars.
Some of you might remember that America. Ruled by laws, prosperous, good natured, imaginative, inviting, optimistic. Of course that was pre Obama, pre Bush 1 and 2, pre Clinton.
Now the U.S. seems more and more governed by the cult of personality. Congress doesn't even bother to rubber stamp decisions made by the Nobel peace prize winner.
Now living next to the states is like having our neighbor sell his house to a bipolar crack addict who owns too many weapons and lets his pittbull roam the streets.
Time to go back to the rule of law.
Mommy, why does food from the sky explode now?
I’m not sure honey, I’m as confused as you are. One thing for sure, this is not Allah’s work.
But, don’t worry dear, I’m sure there will be real food from the sky again one day, and medicine too, especially if your arm gets blown off.
one observation worth contemplating.
many muslims and others believe that
"free will" is a sin, like original sin.
this i have been told directly by a muslim
author who apparently seems to think that
i could become a full muslim myself.
i have not the heart to tell him all the
reasons this is an impossibility. his argument
goes along the lines that god has given man
all the examples and prophets needed for man
to understand the ways of god, the will of god
and the correct attitude and behaviors that would
leave man at peace and prosperous on this earth.
it is our free will and ignorance that perpetuate
our suffering. not a bad argument as far as it
goes. it is the same argument offered by the mormons,
the jehovah witnesses, the catholics and the jews
with some minor, become catastrophic, variation
and miscalculations i suppose.

the problem is that the defining gift,
the one that makes man, man, that gift
is free will. and so it goes .....
Tell me

care to have a peak?
Wake meatheads!

that is a broad brush you use, i use one myself
but perhaps more broadly? saying the culture of "islam"
is reflected in the collection of photos at the link
is like saying john wayne gacy represents all clowns,
or that native americans are represented by the armed drones
that have bombed wedding parties in pakistan. the broad brush
is best used most broadly and where it doesn't obliterate
the essential details and nuances required to paint a
decent portrait i say. regarding beheadings, i wonder why
it is suddenly such a propagandist center piece when this
has been going on in suadi arabia for some time and no one
thought much of it?

If the Syrians of the Islamic kind weren't subhuman, then Obama wouldn't be a humanitarian peace prize winner. It's important to believe, but it's more important to be nice and go home.
There are NO civilians, they are all islamic cult worshipers, a cancer on the human species.
The mistake is in not killing them all with inexpensive area weapons, eg chemical, bilogical, huge fuel-air bombs, etc.
thinking and feeling is too painful for some
"people", i get it but refuse to go with it.
Humans are crushingly overpopulated, breeding like cockroaches in a trash dump, especially islamic cult worshipers. The world human population grows by more than 62 MILLION annually at current rate, so even if ALL of the islamic cult worshipers in the mideast were recycled, there would still be far too many humans, especially low-quality ones, so in fact it is good to eradicate these primitive savages just on an ecosystem health improvement basis.

why are the employees or contractors of "governments"
of different status than civilians? are they expendable
or somehow of less or more value? value to whom?
i don't get it. are we to accept their annihilation
remorselessly because they are paid to suffer for
the game that is played on the three dimensional
slaughter house board of executions for energy and
ponzi usury exploitation? or are they paid in ephemeral
hero worship drinks, laughs and coughs?
don't you love it when a plan comes together.
fund,arm, and train isis to go into cental, and eastern syria and force the people to join them against assad, the men for fighting, and women for whatever they wanted, or die, this is the growth of isis.
now america can openly bomb pro-assads, their food supply, and infra-structure, under the false-flag ceation, of isis.
I keep trying to comment but prudential takes over the screen ilovethatcompanysoooomuch. Obama is just they puppet. The zionist bankers tell him what to do just like w. Got to keep the fiat money ponzi scheme on top. There is still a projectionist full-time at the white house on staff. In the theater he keeps the Zapruder footage keyed up in case there are any questions.
