Answer the complete question asked or was it a tad difficult for ya.
Here ya go BuckOk...lol your only question was "recall that buck?".
No, I don't recall that. As once again, you've twisted words around. I said the Iran WOULD, as they SAID in a video. They've been saying it for years...apparently you've been living in a place without media.

I hope this helped clear up your confusion and that you refrain from stretching the truth in the future. Best of luck on your endeavors
I described what Obama is cool with Iran doing to them. Heck, Obama doesn't even wanna sanction his friends in Iran. He's ready to let them exterminate the jews...

Actually he is correct. The Geneva Conventions correctly recognize that culpability for civilian casualties lies with those who militarize their positions.
That is correct. In fact, US drone strikes produce civilian casualties at a pretty low rate - far better than the option of ground operations. In the meantime, those we are fighting know full well that the best bet they have to mitigate or reduce strikes is to produce inflated accounts of civilian casualties. I remember one of my buddies in Afghanistan had an incident where a house fired upon them, they returned fire, killed two people, and then insurgents came in, slaughtered a bunch of goats, smeared the blood everywhere, claimed Marines had gunned down 20 civilians, and got CNN to run the story before they were able to run it down. And gullible people back here in the States buy their narratives.
You seem to think Obama is cool with it.Now that you've proven my point...
what are your thoughts on Iran wanting to exterminate the jews? Is that something you're cool with, buck?
Victim blaming reaches new lows. Damn those militarised weddings!
There are plenty of Western studies condemning the civilian deaths resulting from US military and CIA operations that don't rely on the enemies numbers, in fact you make a silly argument.
You seem to think Obama is cool with it.
:shrug: he seems pretty relaxed about it. My bet would be that he doesn't really think that they'll do that, given his tendency to mirror-image.
Global authorities that the US government conveniently refuses to recognise have correctly condemned civilian casualties by the US military and clandestine agencies. You can ignore it as it pleases you, but that doesn't change the fact.
Sure. Pakistan, for example, states that approximately 3% of those killed in drone strikes are civilians.
The issue comes down to methodology. The infamous Lancet study, for example, simply took anyone who would tell them about casualties, and added all those up. Well between everyone's neighbors' cousin knowing-a-guy-who-was-there, the atrocities added up pretty quick, especially when those doing the reporting got into contests to one-up each other. Well I heard that the Americans killed 30 children! Well I heard that they killed 40 children and then raped all the mothers! Okay, so that's 70 dead kids and a mass rape we'll just score there.....
I've seen the level of preparation that goes into a U.S. strike. Trained to do it and helped do the prep work at one point in my career. The idea that we're out there just blowing people up nilly willy simply doesn't hold water.
"Global authorities"? LOL
What would you have us do differently?
The military knows damn well that the drone program is far more harmful to innocent civilians than the conventional method.
Drone strikes — billed by President Barack Obama as tactically surgical and less deadly to civilians than conventional air power — are 10 times more likely to cause innocent casualties than bombs or missiles unleashed from U.S. jets, according to a new study based on classified military documents.

Yes, those institutions which are only relevant when they agree with US foreign policy.
But that's not what I'm discussing, as I think you know.
There is no such thing as a global authority. Nice try though.

Of course you don't want to talk about that, because it blows your argument away.
Gonna be interesting to see what Jordan's response to this is.

Can we get a show of hands? How many people here are hard core anti-Americans who despise this nation?
Having just seen the ISIS video of the burning of this Jordanian pilot, I can see why it took almost a month for it to be released. We're not talking here about a 2 minute rough clip of a beheading. This is a 23 minute short film, a propaganda piece at its finest, and had it been presented at a film festival or for Oscar consideration it might well have won an award. This is a very polished and professional piece.
We need to get very serious about what's happening in Syria and Iraq right now - this ISIS endeavour is very well organized and appears to be very well financed. This is no Junior Varsity exercise, as someone famously and foolishly once said. This is, as my Canadian Prime Minister said, ISIS declaring war on us, all of us. We'd better wake up to that reality.
OMG. The horror. The evil. They must be stopped. But how?
One thing to do is to give poison pills to all military who enter the area, so they can kill themselves, rather than be tortured and killed like this.
