Sorties were Bush"s specialty not drone strikes. He is the king of sorties.hey guys in case you were concerned about terrorism, obama dropped 26,200 bombs in 2016.
i think i remember cornel west saying that obama did 550 drone strikes through out his presidency. bush did 50, but we can give him a break because he did a real good job at terrorizing the middle east with his invasion of iraq, plus drone technology was just getting started when he was president.
this is from a reputable journalist.
but maybe because both of you like to dodge questions about your own governments terrorism, perhaps you like some kinds of terrorism and not others. or more simply "any terrorism my government does is good, because im a patriot, and any terrorism ISIS does or iran does is bad" LOL
America dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016. What a bloody end to Obama's reign | Medea Benjamin
"While candidate Obama came to office pledging to end George W Bush’s wars, he leaves office having been at war longer than any president in US history. He is also the only president to serve two complete terms with the nation at war."
abby martin famously nicknamed obama "drone king".
obama killed roughly 800 innocent civilians because of drone strikes which is a quarter of the number of the civilians who died on 9/11.
"Given that drones account for only a small portion of the munitions dropped in the past eight years, the numbers of civilians killed by Obama’s bombs could be in the thousands."
The targets have gotten fewer and more specific over time so cruise and hellfire munitions are mostly too broad spectrum.
