Time Magazine has selected a mass murderer as Person of the Year for 2012:
Drone strikes approved by corporate fascist puppet president Barack Obama kill 49 innocents for every 1 “suspected terrorist” they hit.
When drones fly children die, and the American Sheeple who do nothing to stop it are as guilty of murder as their “elected” leaders.

Syrian rebels under siege in a strategic city on the Lebanese border are increasingly turning to social media to wage psychological warfare, according to Vocativ analysts monitoring the region.
The town of Al Qusayr has become ground zero in the war between rebel fighters on the one side and the joint forces of President Bashar Al Assad and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on the other. Some of the most intense fighting has taken place there over the last few days. The New York Times reports both sides consider this battle a turning point in the larger civil war that has been raging for more than two years.

[....] The consensus is that Venezuela needs high oil prices just to stay afloat. But if the fracking oil boom results in low oil prices, what does the future hold for the South American country?
Sadly, Venezuelans have nothing else to fall back on. Its private industry is a shambles, and the country is even importing toilet paper. Years of populism have left the state crippled and heavily in debt. The public deficit...

[....] Pyongyang's faux rage at Security Council Resolutions 2087 of Jan. 22, and 2095 of March 7, which condemned its rocket launch and nuclear test respectively, recycled similar ludicrous canards it hurled at similar resolutions in 2006 and 2009, calling the Security Council, a "marionette of the U.S." A U.S. plot, and puppet? Hardly: Every resolution has been unanimous. China and Russia water down the wording, but they're on board. It's North Korea versus the world.
And that's just the way they like it. Some believe that all their banging and shouting is just a...
What is your source for the statement that drones kill 49 civilians for every "suspected terrorist" they hit?(I like that you won't acknowledge that even one of the dead has certainly been a combatant). The New America Foundation says that close to four out of five of the dead have been combatants.

The Bureau for Investigative Journalism says that, in Pakistan, the number of innocents killed by drone strikes are anywhere between a fifth and a third of the total.

You and your fascist regime propaganda sources are full of shit:

I think my sources have as much legitimacy as yours', and I had two to your one. "Forty-nine to one" is rather hard to believe on the face of it. The U.S. government isn't a facist regime, facism means more than killing innocents in a defensive war.
Bruce should explore some of the alternatives here. Would more or fewer civilians be killed if we stopped using drones in favor of cruise missiles or high altitude bombings?
Bruce -- I deleted your last comment. Please refrain from "Doxing" your political antagonists at Dag. That's not acceptable here.
FYI: Marked your last comment as spam until MM can look at it again. As he said, we don't publish names, addresses and personal info on dagblog.
Did he publish my address and personal info? If he looked into my personal info, he will find that I was briefly jailed because of a protest against the Iraq War, which--I think--is evidence that I am not just an apologist for the United States, as he thinks.
It wasn't the info of a regular Dag user. But we guard Daggers and non-Daggers alike.
As for your bona fides, Aaron... nothing you've done in life or written here is meaningful to IBB, who most loves the sound of his own voice and will tolerate nothing less than total agreement from others, lest they choose to live as sheeple.
Bruce, please respect our terms of service. If you violate them again, your account will be suspended.

Then suspend me and be damned, Obamapologist...
Ha! I thought that said ophthalmologist!
I probably need to get my eyes checked.
I've heard that the fifth circle of hell is reserved for ophthalmologists. And blog moderators.
