Over 700 Innocent Pak Civilians Killed in US Drone Strikes in 2009   Updated at 12:40 PM
   
Source: Trak (India)

Peshawar, Jan 4 (ANI): Of the 44 predator strikes reportedly carried out by US drones in Pakistan’s tribal areas bordering Afghanistan over the past 12 months, only five were able to hit their actual targets, killing five key Al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders, but at the cost of over 700 innocent civilians.

Most of the attacks were carried out on the basis of human intelligence, reportedly provided by the Pakistani and Afghan tribesmen, who are spying for the US-led allied forces in Afghanistan.

According to the statistics compiled by Pakistani authorities, the Afghanistan-based US drones killed 708 people in 44 predator attacks targeting the tribal areas between January 1 and December 31, 2009.

For each Al Qaeda and Taliban terrorist killed by US drones, 140 innocent Pakistanis also had to die.

Over 90 per cent of those killed in the deadly missile strikes were civilians, The Dawn quoted authorities, as saying.

The success percentage for the drone hits during 2009 was hardly 11 per cent.

On average, 58 civilians were killed in these attacks every month, 12 persons every week and almost two people every day.

If Bush was in office there would be cries of war crimes, impeachment, frog marching, etc.
Plus the media would have the body counts posted every day.

Where are your calls for impeachment? I can not take your outrage serious unless it's at teh same level when Bush was in charge.

7. Didn't I hear Obama talking about the "innocent civilians" that could have died
   
from the undie bomber?

Obviously, not all innocent civilians are equal.

Yet no Obama lied people died chants yet.

23. 44 strikes... that's one every 8.2 days. That's many more than I thought.
   
Looks like we are at war with Pakistan. Or somebody. And innocent people are dying. Could we just do something else?

You own all three houses of Govt right now.

Not a posting error, it really was just an empty box.  Like her head.

The only "innocent civilians" in Pawkistawn are American military contractors. All the rest are muslims.

Well...the guy YOU supported for President did advocate just such a war when he ran for office:

Quote
  Last Wednesday, the Illinois senator said that if it were necessary to root out terrorists, he would send U.S. forces into Pakistan without the country's approval.


"If we have actionable intelligence on al Qaeda operatives, including [Osama] bin Laden, and President Musharraf cannot act, then we should," Obama said. "That's just common sense."

It's quite a ridiculous stretch to say that everyone killed in the immediate vicinity when a named target was taken out by a weapon was necessarily an 'Innocent civilian.'  It's not like every time one of them was hit, they happened to be alone at an ice cream social with all the local Ba'hais and pacifists, and nobody else.

The tekisui primitive is, predictably, scared of getting the granite cookie.  This faux outrage from those who claim to be concerned, yet are too afraid to come out and say the same things they would have said were Bush still prez, is very telling of their true convictions.

Maybe they believe they have to walk a tightrope in order to get their message out on the island, but that's only a further example of what cowards they are.  The only message they're sending is that they value their membership at some pol site over the "truth" they're too afraid to openly state.
