| Obama Takes Blame for Operation that Killed Two Hostages | |
| 2015-04-24 | |
...I am not a dictator! revealed Thursday that an American and an Italian hostage were accidentally killed in a covert U.S. counter-terrorism operation near the Afghan-Pakistain border in January, taking "full responsibility" for the tragedy. A senior al-Qaeda leader, an American, was also killed in the operation and the group's English-language front man, U.S. convert Adam Gadahn, died in a separate strike. | |

| #14 * FREEREPUBLIC this AM > [American Thinker] IS OBAMA ARMING IRAN FOR A SECRET REASON. and * TOPIX > [Various] CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: OBAMA AIDING IRAN'S RISE TO A REGIONAL POWER. D *** NG, WHY, CHUCKY, WHY, WHATE-V-A-R! COULD IT BE??? lol. FYI Charles I wouldn't call or describe Iran being a OWG Globalist-desired, "US-style", Nuclear CO-SUPERPOWER the same as being a lessor "Regional Power" or even a "Great Power". As a reminder, SSSSHHHH ... PCCCCCCC US-LED ANTI-US OWG-NWO GLOBALISM = "PARITY" WID THE SOON-TO- BE-CO-SUPERPOWER USA [One of Many Same], N-O-T "INFERIORITY" WID THE CO-SUPERPOWER USA. In reality there will, of course, be differentiations between the future Co-Superpowers, but the above is the Ideal or Agendum. |

| #13 So the US drone struck an AQ compound and AQ had some hostages hidden in the compound who were killed during the strike. Do I have it wrong? Our president has no idea when and when not to apologize. He should have said it was regrettable that AQ had hostages at the site that were killed during the action. If the US knew where the hostages were we would attempt a rescue. Why is he blaming America for the terrorists acts. If a civilian is hurt during a bank robbery it is a regretful event, but not the police's fault. The fault falls on the bank robber. Obama is a sophomoric fool... |

| #7 If you are an American hostage while this regime is in control of America, you are a dead man. Clarification required. If you are an American hostage while this Muslim President is in control of America, you are a dead man. |

| #2 Ditto the Bammer per the South China Sea, iff SHTF between China + Philippines, etc.??? * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > US ABANDONS PHILIPPINES TO CHINA WRATH AFTER ENCOURAGING ANTI-CHINA PROVOCATION | AFP CHIEF [Catapang]: WE'RE ON OUR OWN AGZ CHINA | ABS-CBN NEWS. Premises underlying or as defined in 1951 US-PHIL Mutual Defense Treaty vs EDCA. * TOPIX > CHINA DENIES WARSHIP FIRED UPON PAF AIRCRAFT IN DISPUTED SEA. * MANILA BULLETIN > PHILIPPINES ACCUSES CHINA COAST GUARD OF ARMED ROBBERY, of PH Fishermen at disputed Scarborough Shoal. China CG accused of forcibly taking their personals + fish haul. * SAME > NO TRUTH TO REPORT OF PAF AIRCRAFT DOWNED BY CHINESE SHIP - AFP. * GMA NEWS > CHINESE WARSHIP WARNS PHILIPINE PATROL PLANE [strong searchlight beam] IN DISPUTED SEA. -------------- I knew something was up when I read about China telling the Philippines to "educate" or better educate its fishermen on China's + Maritime rights in the region, + to not fish in China's sovereign territory. Historical sign of escalation towards de facto Military Confrontation + ultimately Conflict. |

| #1 For me, the curious part (aside from Obama taking responsibility) is this happened back in January. Seems like a bit of delay, even for our ponderous bureaucracy. |
