Is this tragic as it is, qualitatively different from the operations under Obama or are we just looking more closely now?

I have been looking very close since 1991.

I missed your thread about Obama's body-count.

[Mister Agenda]

Maybe a running comparison, like Obama's body count in his first two weeks vs. Trump's? Then first month, first six months, and so on?

Too much work for me, just puttin' it out there.

I voted for Johnson 2012,2016. Overseas wars and killing civilians and babies were not part of the party platform. Nor lame excuses why that is acceptable in a humane society.

So Trump negates Obamas on intelligence about refugees but keys in on 10 year old intelligence that makes killing babies acceptable: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2...-years-old

Unfair comparison.  Yemen has taken away one of the WLB's shiny toys.

Angry at the civilian casualties incurred last month in the first commando raid authorized by President Trump, Yemen has withdrawn permission for the United States to run Special Operations ground missions against suspected terrorist groups in the country, according to American officials.Grisly photographs of children apparently killed in the crossfire of a 50-minute firefight during the raid caused outrage in Yemen.

What's up, Min?

I've been snarky about Rahm Emanuel's body count. I've even referred to Rahm as an enemy of the state.

Whoops.  Time for the WLB to unfurl Dubya's sign.

Navy SEAL Raid in Yemen: Ally of U.S.-Backed President Killed

CAIRO — The main figure killed in last month's U.S. raid in Yemen targeting al Qaeda was a tribal leader who was allied to the country's U.S.- and Saudi-backed president and had been enlisted to fight Yemen's Shiite rebels, according to military officials, tribal figures and relatives.

The government connections of tribal chief Sheikh Abdel-Raouf al-Dhahab raise further questions over the planning of a raid that turned into a heavy firefight with casualties on both sides.
