Rising Hegemon
The report documents 75 CIA drone strikes and five NATO attacks conducted between 2006 and 2009, and reveals that 746 people—and not the “50 to 60” that the US continues to claimed—were killed in the attacks. At least 147 of the victims were non-combatants and 94 were children, according to the Bureau.And in 20 years of so, in the wake of some massive strike against Americans someone will ask "Why do they hate us?" once again...and promptly not receive an answer.
The United States has firmly held onto the claim that only a small number of non-combatants have been killed in drone attacks in Pakistan “despite research by the Bureau and others suggesting that over 400 civilians may have died in the nine-year campaign.”
Well...

And, no telling how many of those 746 fit the definition of a "signature strike" where the identity of the target was not known, but were counted as "militants."
We seem to get stupider by the minute.
"...someone will ask "Why do they hate us?" once again...and promptly not receive an answer."
Yes they will. It will be wrong, but the answer will be there.
They'll say "they hate us for our freedom," but without mentioning their rather sickening definition of "freedom."
