[Peace-discuss] Chris Floyd, "The Hit Man as Hero"

[C. G. Estabrook]

‎"...the United States government is led by a man who believes he can murder 
anyone he pleases, at any time, at his own arbitrary decision ... he has used 
this power over and over, most extensively in Pakistan, where even by the most 
conservative estimates hundreds of innocent people – including many women and 
children – have been killed in Obama’s drone missile campaign."

"...Obama has killed hundreds of innocent people. Hundreds of innocent people. 
Little children, women, old folks, young marrieds, fathers, mothers, teenagers – 
he has killed them in their own homes, in the streets of their villages, in 
their cars, at their weddings and funerals and birthday parties and family 
gatherings, raining down missiles, without warning, with no way to escape, no 
defense, killed them, the babies, the children, the old, the sick, ripped their 
bodies to shreds, buried them under rubble, torn off their heads, set them on 
fire to die in the purest agony...."

"Let us acknowledge that the president kills innocent people and asserts the 
right to keep prisoners in jail forever and kill American citizens and puts out 
false information ... about murky operations which we must take on faith like 
dutiful subjects in militarized state ... but let us still ... work with all our 
strength to make sure he continues to invert, pervert and subvert every 
progressive value we hold dear."
