#1 I know some Rantburgers would prefer an old-fashioned carpet bombing, but if the drone strikes are causing this much whining from the Usual Suspects, they must be working.

Whining is that they do.

#3 The United States should be more forthright about how many civilians die in its overseas wars...

Define the word civillian, Mr.'rapporteur'. If you say it includes a Taliban members wife and kids you are wrong.

#4 The Australian law professor said that U.S. soldiers, Pentagon officials, intelligence agents and private contractors are not being held to account for unlawful killings they commit.

Probably because they are not responsible for the "unlawful killings". The ones who are responsible are the ones hiding behind civilians and using them as human shields.

But then he already knows that. Just trying to score points with his Human Rights [abusers] Council.

#5 I wish they would let me meet with the UN envoy on this one. IS Bolton still at the UN? He just looks like he would beat the hell out of someone
