You have never criticized Bush when he killed innocent children in Iraq and Afghanistan, have you?

I know it's hard for you to comprehend but I am against bush. I never voted for bush and I criticized him for killing innocent children. I remember meeting many bush supporters who supported the wars and I had to explain to them about all the innocent children being killed and how it would cause blowback.

Why have you not criticized obama for killing innocent children? Why have you not criticized obama for assassinating Anwar Awlaki?

WTF...I never said you had an emotional attachment to Margaret Thatcher...are my posts really that hard for you to understand?

Anyway, many in the UK view this as a snub as well. But whatever...you're an dedicated Obama apologist and fully entitled to your opinion...no matter how wrong it may be.

You claimed I had emotional involvement with the story. The story involves who..again? I just want to make sure we're clear here. Maybe you think you're in another thread.


Do you have proof for your second statement? I'm not being an Obama apologist, all I did was read the article instead of being irrational. I guess you and Incapable-of-thought missed the little part in the article where the Prime Minister was appreciative that Margaret would be surrounded by her coherts.

Since you have such a hard on for margaret thatcher, i assume you're a reagan fan, you know margaret thatcher's butt buddy? Please defend Reagan's policies in Latin America where it lead to murder, rape, and torture of latin american civilians.

Perhaps if you read our exchange a few more times you'll get what I was talking about. You initial conclusion was ludicrious.

Did it ever occur to you that the PM was being diplomatic? Why is it so hard for you to admit that many in the UK view this as a snub? You're apparently making this way more difficult on yourself than necessary.

But Downing Street is most angered by rejections from Obama, First Lady Michelle and Vice-President Joe Biden.​

"Many in the UK" = Downing Street...the office of the Prime Minister and other cabinet members.


LOL

Maybe the Prime Minister is being diplomatic...so what? If they were that upset about Obama not sending someone "more important" they would have made a big stink about it. I can't even believe we are discussion this. Especially after what happened the other day. At this point...who cares if Obama is going or not?

The reason I have not is that the innocents killed under the Obama administration were collateral damage in support of efforts to attack legitimate military targets. It's not as though he intentionally murdered anyone. Collateral damage is part of waging war. I would generally say the same of the innocents killed under Bush (with the not-insignificant caveat that Bush, unlike Obama, started the two wars in place when Obama took office, and our having taken offensive action against Iraq is, to me, a violation of the law of war committed by Bush).

As for Anwar Awlaki, he was, according to our intel, a known terrorist and terrorist recruiter. Accordingly he was an appropriate military target, and I find it hard to work up much outrage over his death. As far as I can see he deserved to die.

I am just responding to him the same way he responds to me so my point was valid.

Still haven't seen you condemn obama for killing innocent children in Pakistan.

I get it, he responded to your stupidity by pointing out that you often lie about complaining about things on "other websites" when people call you out on your biased posting habits.

So you say "fuck you"...and that's how you fight his response to your stupidity...by being more stupid and immature.

How old are you? Seriously.

Judging by the comments on the article, those among the UK population who consider it a snub and/or a mistake by Obama are vastly outnumbered by those who support Obama's decision not to attend or send Biden.

Those wars were both wrong to begin with. There was no declaration of war by the congress. Iraq was no threat to the US and the US only went in there for oil and the MIC.

Collateral damage? Is that what they call it? Killing innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan only increases the amount of terrorists due to the parents of the dead children wanting revenge. This makes the US less safe.

The vast majority of the people killed in drone strikes are innocent civilians. There is no justification for these killings no matter what you call it.

It's no surprise that so many in the Middle East and in Iraq and Afghanistan hate the US

Many UK government officials and citizens viewed it as a snub including some major UK media sources as well...which was my point. Yet you apparently want to twist my point into something much different. No thanks...I'm not playing your twisted little game which requires a majority opinion in the UK in order to somehow make my point valid....that's just plain weird.

Whining doesn't suit you, so I don't know why you're doing it.

Anyway, some people in every country are undoubtedly upset by anything we do or don't do. When that number of people is both a non-majority and small it makes it all the less significant what they think or feel.
