While one can't help but snicker when the administration of a Nobel Peace Prize winner has launched at least 7 offensive wars,
mosty against Muslim countries with virtually none obtaining prior
approval from Congress, until now Obama at least showed the sense to
realize that maintaining proper "made for propaganda media" optics
matters, even if his underlying actions were the very definition of
hypocrisy. And then something snapped. As reported by Yahoo News, the
White House has acknowledged for the first time that strict standards
President Obama imposed last year to prevent civilian deaths from U.S.
drone strikes will not apply to U.S. military operations in Syria and Iraq.
Now, we showed last weekend that Syrian "rebels", those people the US
is supposedly helping, are furious at US bombing of their own people,
but we wonder just how they will feel when they realize that according
to the most powerful representative of the "free world" they are
actually, well, subhuman and not worthy of the same civil rights as people in every other part of the globe (bombed by US drones).
