Then planned it. They funded it. They sent people to do the dirty work. They continue to do the afforementioned. This is war, and not a war of the US's choosing. Sorry you don't like it, but it is your pals hiding behind women and children. I would suggest that your vitriol is misdirected.

He's talking about the 'collateral damage', obviously.

So am I, obviously. I've highlighted the relevant parts for your convenience.

Sorry. My mistake.

I'm not for killing innocent civilians, no matter where they live!!! You make it sound like I enjoy seeing civilians killed, I didn't say that at all. I was talking about killing every terrorist we can reach.

So get off your damned high horse, and preach to someone else.

You were calling someone an Al Qaeda supporter because he expressed his anger at the large amounts of civilians killed accidentally by US forces.

Fun fact! 'Civilian' and 'Terrorist' are two different things! Perhaps you should have realized that before making yourself look like a guy who thinks that all Afghans hate America.

A couple of things.

1. That was me that labeled someone a supporter of Al Qaeda, not eddie.

2. I did so because of the poster's anger over what was, as mentioned before, over a pretty clean kill of an Al Qaeda leader. There was very little collateral loss of life. This would seem to suggest some sympathies in the manner that I had indicated.

And so I suggest that you read more carefully before shooting your mouth off about who looks like what and telling people to leave the forum. Yes?

Excuse me, but where did he ever say or even infer that all people from Afghanistan are terrorists. Never.

These attacks are precision weapons, that have comparatively little collateral damage. The drone strikes against al Queda leaders are therefore easily justified. Robhalford made it seem like civilian casualties in these strikes were unwarranted, and eddie provided a retort about the civilian casualties that Al Queda has caused and therefore the justification of drone strikes to take out these AQ leaders even if it means a few civilians get injured. Takeda and i also mentioned that AQ is using the general populace as meat shields, and that civilian casualties is almost inevitable because of their dirty tactics, however unfortunate.

You are making something out of nothing. Eddie made no such claims. It was an argument about the justification of drone strikes with possible civilian casualties to take out high ranking Al Queda leaders.

Forget collateral damage and how minimal or justified you may think it is.
Defend your views based on this .....

Yes because due process is so passe and military intelligence is the bees knees in getting facts straight

....as that is what you are really saying.
If you are unable to defend the drone attacks on that basis then you don't really have a point as you are simply supporting extra judicial execution of suspected criminals
