Obama victory infuriates Pakistani drone strike victims
The 28-year-old Pakistani accuses the president of robbing him of his father, three brothers and a nephew, all killed in a U.S. drone aircraft attack a month after Obama first took office.
“The same person who attacked my home has gotten re-elected,” he told Reuters in the capital, Islamabad, where he fled after the attack on his village in South Waziristan, one of several ethnic Pashtun tribal areas on the Afghan border.
“Since yesterday, the pressure on my brain has increased. I remember all of the pain again.”…
“Any American, whether Obama or Mitt Romney, is cruel,” Warshameen Jaan Haji, whose neighborhood was struck by a drone last week, told Reuters on the eve of the election. “I lost my wife in the drone attack and my children are injured. Whatever happens, it will be bad for Muslims.”

Right wing now cares about brown people? The country has changed.

Yeah, it’s a beotch Warshameen Jaan Haji.
But take heart. At least BO likes muslims.
The rest of us will be in jail or starving. You may have the best deal.

That’s what we’re good at: creating terrorists.

I have no love for the Pakistani people, but I’m starting to rethink these drone strikes myself. If we can isolate a terrorist and kill him without civilian death, then go for it, but if my kid got blown up I’d become a jihadist too.
Boots on the ground is the way to go, and if Pakistan has a problem with that then it’s time for us to get intimate with their old pal India.

That rule is only in effect when an R is in office. Get with the program.

Bumps in the road.

Oh dear, what a shame. Well, I might say something like that if I felt confident in believing a Muslim whining in victim role.

Funny how the Left turns a blind eye to civilian deaths when a Dem is in charge.
Complete hypocrites.

They aren’t brown-brown until the left determines them to be a victim group so that they can enrich themselves personally off of their misfortune.
HTH
