Quote:A U.S. drone mistakenly targeted a wedding convoy in Yemen's al-Baitha province after intelligence reports identified the vehicles as carrying al Qaeda militants, two Yemeni national security officials told CNN on Thursday.

The officials said that 14 people were killed and 22 others injured, nine in critical condition.

Quote:"More than 50 innocent civilians in our town have been killed by drones," said Abdullah al-Kabra, an eyewitness to the drone strike.
"All those who were killed were supportive of the governments anti-terror campaign. That will surely not be the case of their tribes and families if the government does not strongly intervene," he added.

Oops!

This is the 2nd time this has happened.

Rand Paul warned us.

So you are now just taking Yemeni's government statements as the gospel truth? I guess when your hatred for the black man in the White House is that strong, you will believe almost anything.

Cue the crickets from those who were railing on Bush for being a war criminal...

....


....

And there they are

Would like to see the backstory on this.

God I love you idiots. Taking the Yemen side of the story so you don't have to even come close to supporting the black man in the White House.

While I wouldn't call them allies, the Yemeni government is not hostile with/toward the US. In fact, Obama and Hadi "affirmed their desire to broaden and strengthen the U.S.-Yemen relationship" just a few months ago (here). There's no real reason why the Yemeni government would make up a story out of whole cloth like this.

And I believe BlazerFan11 holds a very 'Ron Paul' non-interventionist stance toward US foreign policy (correct me if I'm wrong). He'd post the same thing regardless of political party or presidential skin tone.

Obama is really living up to that Peace Prize he got.

These are doing more harm than good. Besides, executing people isn't supposed to be our way of doing things, is it?

This guy is a Constitutional lawyer, hunh? Remind me not to hire him for a case...

If you are so smart, how come you are such a loser economically and socially? I mean bottom of the barrel loser.

Hilarious. I don't support Obama indiscriminately blowing up innocent brown people with virtually no oversight like you do, so I'm the racist.

Of course, you're ignoring the part where the guy who promised a "new era of tranpsarency" refuses to allow even the slightest bit of transparency into his death robot program, and you're also conveniently omitting the part of this story where the U.S. refused to comment. And as Motown pointed out to your ignorant ass, the Yemeni gov't basically does the U.S. government's bidding. In fact, they were caught lying to protect the U.S. after a drone strike killed a group of civilians.

So tell us Robert...in light of these facts, how are we supposed to get the "real" story?
