Christ as opposed to Obama doing it? All the cunts have done it and will continue to do so no matter the color of the tie they have on.

Why does that justify Trump doing it? He's not running a campaign. The "lesser of two evils" argument doesn't function outside of election season.

What? What's this story?

I believe that this is in reference to the child who was killed in Trumps first military operation. Which in all fairness was planned to the letter while Obama was still in office, so it's hard to blame Trump for this one.

I'm not justifying anything. You're making it sound like liberals would never do what Trump's just done. They did it for 8 years under Obama. Conservatives and liberals. Bastards who care only about the domestic policies and couldn't care less about the victims of this country's imperialism.
I'm from the mid east and I hate Trump for this. It just isn't a surprise. No surprise at all. The establishment in this country has a foreign policy with its goals, objectives, and methods set in stone. This has been happening for years, and will continue to happen.

I criticised Obama's drone campaign when he was in power. But now Trump is guilty of the same thing, when he preached isolationism for a year.

technically trump didn't do anything. the soldiers did. it's not like he told them to kill a child. he told them to raid an al qaeda branch. a few bullets just went in the wrong place.

still...not the best plan there trump

This thread should produce a silence --mods, Zultar.

Blaming the president that did it goes back to Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs. A plan that was originated by then vice president Nixon during the last year of the Eisenhower presidency.

The buck or blame has got to stop some where. Whoever approved it gets the blame.

American born girl died in the seal raid. Apparently, the seals did some fucked up shit over there

I think every President has killed at least one kid. Trump's getting ahead of the curve

14 jihadis died and 1 US commando too

potentially 30 civilian casualties

I love the indication of her being American born. American born children are obviously more worthy of not getting killed in war than non-American children.

Killing Americans without a trial is against the constitution.

It was a MILITARY OPERATION. Collateral damage is going to happen, one way or another. And blaming Trump just because he approved the operation is frankly absolute horseshit. Almost every modern military plan never went according to plan, and who is Trump to be able to see the future and tell if one kid would die? Let's take a look at the political left, and Obama. There wasn't a refugee crisis before him. It started due to, and may I reference @Hannibal76 second comment, leftist imperialism. But then again, the Democrats love to turn a blind eye to their companions, but are willing to point fingers and clickbait (specifically this thread) when Trump did it. It was one child, who wasn't targeted. After all, didn't @JamesYanik mention that there were 14 jihadis that died? That's a win in my book. Besides, a child being part of collateral damage (which, if I haven't made my point clear, is a side-effect of ALL military operations, conservative or liberal) doesn't necessarily make anyone a child killer. Not Trump, not Obama, and (it hurts to say/type it...) not even Hillary Clinton!

Oi. Bill Clinton did a whole lot of bombing. And the endless middle eastern wars were started by Bush. The hell are you going on about?

hayastankarabakh: Collateral damage on this scale is a war crime, especially if such civilian casualties were part of the plan. More than twice the number of civilians died than supposed militants. Trump as Commander in Chief of the U. S. armed forces definitely shares blame if he approved of the operation.

Actually, even if he didn't approve it, Trump can still be charged with war crimes out of negligence if he should have known about the operation.

Hey, anyone remember the millions of babies killed because Obama supported it?

More information is coming out:
"Contrary to earlier reporting, the senior military official said, the raid was Trump's first clandestine strike — not a holdover mission approved by President Barack Obama."

"
"My granddaughter was staying for a while with her mother, so when the attack came, they were sitting in the house, and a bullet struck her in her neck at 2:30 past midnight. Other children in the same house were killed," al-Awlaki said. He said the girl died two hours after being shot.

"They [the SEALs] entered another house and killed everybody in it, including all the women. They burned the house. There is an assumption there was a woman [in the house] from Saudi Arabia who was with al Qaeda. All we know is that she was a children's teacher."

Al-Awlaki said the girl and her mother had fled the Yemeni capital, Sa'ana, where he lives, to escape the heavy shelling.

But Trump ain't no warhawk eh? eh? eh????

You really are gross condensation.

That poor girl, and her poor mourning family. That must be very hard for them.

Thought to be fair... millions of unborn children have been electively slaughtered in their mother's wombs under both red and blue American regimes, all because our culture is enslaved to pleasure and autonomy... at the expense of family and of human life together. Thousands of people (Christians, Alawite, et al.) are actively being kidnapped, raped, and slaughtered by jihadis explicitly because they are religious or ethnic minorities in their region. I don't seem to recall much public outcry about this for the last 8 years, save maaaaybe the events in Syria. I don't particularly like Trump's brand of nationalism, but if his example serves to lead the MSM's narrative to include awareness and actual help for innocent lives... then so be it.

Obama took out millions of civilians with his drones and illegal wars. Not to mention his support for pro-choice policies which is essentially genocide.

Oh please. You'd have everyone enslaved to your whackadoodle religion and it's bizarre biological notions and its obsession with sex, Teacon. Sounds like the jihadis are very much kindred spirits.

Millions of citizens, ND? I would not call that "estimate" of yours particularly fair. Do you have any real data to back up that assertion?

That is my estimate.
