[Peace-discuss] Obama continues to kill people & pretends he doesn't

[C. G. Estabrook via Peace-discuss]

Yes, Obama has been a poseur and a fake from the beginning, as some noticed and said (e.g., Glen Ford at Black Agenda Report).

But he's also a stone killer, as he bemusedly admits:

"Turns out I'm really good at killing people," Obama said quietly, "Didn't know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine." 

[--Mark Halperin & John Heilemann, "Double Down: Game Change 2012"]

Saints and bodhisattvas like Kathy Kelly are there to tell us the truth (and suffer for it).

The wars are killing civilians, as has been happening in the United States’ wars since World War II. Now 90 percent of the people killed in wars are civilians. And this is true certainly with the drone strikes. The Reprieve organization has said that for every one person who is selected as a target for assassination, 28 civilians are killed. And even just three nights ago, there was another targeted assassination in which they hit two homes in the Logar province, and six people were wounded, four people were killed, all of them civilians..." --Kathy Kelly
