says Jeremy Scahill of the Nation, I don't really agree but let's put his words into some context.
"If you go to the village of Al-Majalah in Yemen, where I was, and you see the unexploded clusterbombs and you have the list and photographic evidence, as I do--the women and children that represented the vast majority of the deaths in this first strike that Obama authorized on Yemen--those people were murdered by President Obama, on his orders, because there was believed to be someone from Al Qaeda in that area
Is this a poor choice of words but the truth, let's break

"If you go to the village of Al-Majalah in Yemen, where I was, and you see the unexploded clusterbombs and you have the list and photographic evidence, as I do--the women and children that represented the vast majority of the deaths in this first strike that Obama authorized on Yemen--those people were murdered by President Obama, on his orders, because there was believed to be someone from Al Qaeda in that area. There's only one person that's been identified that had any connection to Al Qaeda there. And 21 women and 14 children were killed in that strike and the U.S. tried to cover it up, and say it was a Yemeni strike, and we know from the Wikileaks cables that David Petraeus conspired with the president of Yemen to lie to the world about who did that bombing. It's murder--it's mass murder--when you say, 'We are going to bomb this area' because we believe a terrorist is there, and you know that women and children are in the area. The United States has an obligation to not bomb that area if they believe that women and children are there. I'm sorry, that's murder."
Scahill explains it like President Obama has no concern for the lives or safety for the innocents in the area. What is the obligation of the United States when a terrorist is identified in the same area where women and children are? Criminals do not hide out together. They may have safe houses, but just like Bin Laden women are almost always around.
What else would the US do to avoid such tragic causalities, put boots on the ground? Women and children have always been put in the line of fire. Maybe the target in question should just stand up and take it like a man or just not live around any women and children.
This is definitely a poor choice of words by Scahill because he implies that the President is a criminal, a war criminal and a murderer, huh, I ask Jeremy Scahill is he saying that President Obama is really a murdered, a CRIMINAL! Explain please.
