Our military men a geniuses! Just use unmanned drones to blow up civilians and all moral responsibility is excercised.
Just wait, pretty soon a sniper will say it’s the bullet’s fault.
How many bodies does it take for the UN to declare that genocide is taking place? They will let you know when they get there.(of course we all know genicide is relative to whome it is being perpetrated on. You see, 5 jews is a genocide, 10 americans is a genocide, but there are not yet enough dead blacks, latinos, palestinians, chinese, armenians, or native americans to declare a genocide) Genocide depends entirely on who is doing the killing.

The U.N. Official seeks “more clarity on civilian deaths?” Hey dummy, see those dead bodies laying around that blown to bejesus village? You know, in Afpakisnam. Do you really need more “clarity” than that?
