In other words, you and others have made an assertion you can't substantiate, right?
I know how it works due to my first-hand experience with the process.
Then again, do you even know, for a fact, that the U.S. was involved in the strikes last week?

"innocents" my ass.
Anyone wish to buy a bridge?
This is the internet, remember? Anybody can make the claims that you do, while none of the rest of us have the power to verify it, at all. That's why verifiable sources are so important.
And I don't know quite what to think about the missile attacks in Pakistan, other than I don't support them, never have. Those who have and continue to do so share in the responsibility for them, obviously- whether that's GWB, Palehorse, Ocguy31, Alchemize or Obama.
I knew the guy wouldn't be a perfect president when I voted for him- nobody could be, particularly given the situation that the previous admin created. I trust his judgement more than I trusted his predecessor, that's for sure, and more than I trusted his opponent in the election, so we'll just have to wait and see how things work out.
I try not to rely on "facts" not in evidence- the results of doing so are all around us, the wreckage of the Bush Admin. Mere assertion is not necessarily fact, as we've seen, so it's important that we question such assertions to actually determine facts... Just because some talking point is asserted over and over again doesn't make it so.
