Do drones kill people? In truth, top US officials who order drone strikes are guilty.

by DLi
Once again the US has blatantly ignored Pakistan's repeated plea for respecting its sovereignty, by re-launching another deadly drone strike in Waziristan province this past week. 4 civilians were apparently killed, altho the US terror regime, in typical callous fashion, called the victims "terror suspects."
Alarmingly, US national security advisor John Brennan went on a weekend speaking tour to defend the policy of these murderous drone strikes. He further claimed that the US Constitution allowed the President to use whatever means available to "defend American lives," even though the strike in Pakistan was aimed at insurgents who were committed only to drive Yankee invaders out of Afghanistan and Pakistan territories. Revealing Washington's contrived claims of protecting American lives, the drone strikes on militants in Yemen solely targeted rebels who were opposing the Yemeni military government. Even the United Nations--showing its role as a cowering accomplice to US Imperialism, didn't find any courage for a R2P, or Responsibility to Protect, the innocent civilian victims of US bombs. And despite the handful of committed Peace activists who oppose these illegal drone strikes, the vast majority of both Democatic and Republican party loyalists solidly stand behind the White House and its "warrior president" in pursuing these militant and terroristic attacks. Hence, the entire American political establishment openly condone heinous war crimes on defenseless civilians in its neoColonialist "Operation Enduring Freedom"!
