    ... Locks up the who exposed his lies. I am referring to Abdullah Haider Shaye, the Yemeni journalist who is currently behind bars after a sham trial. He exposed the massacre carried out by the US government which killed more women and children than Adam Lanza. He was set to be pardoned until...

    Readout of President's Call with President Saleh of Yemen

    President Obama called President Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen on February 2 to welcome the significant reform measures that President Saleh had announced earlier that day, and to stress that President Saleh now needs to follow-up his pledge with concrete actions. President Obama asked that Yemeni security forces show restraint and refrain from violence against Yemeni demonstrators who are exercising their right to free association, assembly, and speech. The President also told President Saleh that it is imperative that Yemen take forceful action against Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) to protect innocent lives in Yemen as well as abroad. Finally, President Obama expressed concern over the release of Abd-Ilah al-Shai, who had been sentenced to five years in prison for his association with AQAP. President Saleh thanked the President for U.S. support and committed to continuing and strengthening relations with the United States.

    Gee, I wonder why he expressed concern:
    Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) is a militant Islamist organization, primarily active in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. It was named for al-Qaeda, and says it is subordinate to that group and its now-deceased leader Osama bin Laden, a Saudi citizen whose father was born in Yemen. It is considered the most active of Al-Qaeda's branches, or "franchises," that emerged due to weakening central leadership.

    He is a known associate of a terrorist organisation.

    But of course that's ok, Obama is the real problem :rolleyes:

    Have you any proof of that, other than his conviction on terrorism charges in what has been called a sham trial ? If you have more information on the case than Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and the International Federation of Journalists, perhaps you would like to share it with us ?

    Actually, by the wishy-washy definition used these days then so are you. You see with this abysmal categorisation of someone who has "knowingly, or otherwise, assisted or provided assistance to parties known or unknown who might or might otherwise at a later time present or pose a threat to the Uniited States or interests thereof" that includes you as a terrorism suspect since you more than likely bought a fcuking kebab from a guy who made a phone call once to a childhood sweetheart in Oman who ran away from a bazaar after a guy who in a mentally retarded state told her that she was an enemy of Islam because she was wearing a pair of jeans.

    So, yeah....you too are a terrorism suspect. Deal with it, suspect-boy.

    You know that whole 6 degrees of separation thing? Then by that alone, you and I are probably RELATED to a terrorist. See you in Gitmo, pal. We're fcuked!

    I'm confused, where exactly does it describe Obama going on a killing spree?

    I'm confused, where exactly does it describe Obama going on a killing spree?

    I said "massacre. It was quite clearly a massacre.
    Definition of MASSACRE

    1
    : the act or an instance of killing a number of usually helpless or unresisting human beings under circumstances of atrocity or cruelty
    ...
    Forty-one civilians died in the US attack. Fourteen members of the extended al Haydara clan were killed, along with 27 members of the al Anbouri clan. Three more people later died when they stepped on left-over cluster munitions.


    As a surviving woman later told reporter Jeremy Scahill, for Al Jazeera, ‘At 6am they were sleeping and I was making bread. When the missiles exploded I lost consciousness. I didn’t know what had happened to my children, my daughter, my husband. Only I survived with this old man and my daughter.’
    Among those killed that day were 22 children. The youngest, Khadje Ali Mokbel Louqye, was just one year old. A dozen women also died, five of them reportedly pregnant.


    Yet these numbers mask the many individual families annihilated in the attack. Mohammed Nasser Awad Jaljala, 60, his 30-year-old wife Nousa, their son Nasser, 6, and daughters Arwa, 4, and Fatima, aged 2, were all killed.
    Then there was 35-year old Ali Mohammed Nasser Jaljala, his wife Qubla (25), and their four daughters Afrah (9), Zayda (7), Hoda (5) and Sheikha (4) who all died.


    Ahmed Mohammed Nasser Jaljala, 30, was killed alongside his 21-year old wife Qubla and 50-year old mother Mouhsena. Their daughter Fatima, aged 13, was the only survivor of the family, badly injured and needing extensive medical treatment abroad.


    The Anbour clan suffered similarly catastrophic losses. Abdullah Mokbel Salem Louqye died with his wife, son and three daughters. His brother Ali Mokbel Salem Louqye’s seven-strong family were also wiped out.


    Sheik Saleh Ben Fareed, a tribal leader, went to the area shortly after the attack and described the carnage to Al Jazeera reporter Scahill: ‘If somebody has a weak heart, I think they will collapse. You see goats and sheep all over. You see heads of those who were killed here and there. You see children. And you cannot tell if this meat belongs to animals or to human beings. Very sad, very sad.

    no, what you said was: "Obama: Kills Women & Children, Lies About It Then..."
    only later did you bother qualifying it and nothing in your link suggests Obama did it either. I can only assume you are once again trying to sensationalise the topic.

    What Duiske said. Can you support this with anything resembling evidence? Or is it simpy a case of the government said it so it must be true and the assumption of innocence is out the window?

    I'm not sure where you are going with this.

    Obama ordered the attack that "killed" small babies, pregnant women and near wiped out whole families of innocent people.

    He then lied about it.

    He then seen to it that one of the reporters who exposed his masacre/lies was kept behind bars on trumped up charges.

    Which of the above is false?

    And why do you seem to more concerned about obama's reputation than dead children and innocent men imprisoned?

    of course you're not... you don't see at all how misleading the headlines is, no?

    It's not anymore misleading than saying Hitler killed Jews.

    Which part is misleading and why?

    And again why would you feel the need to defend someone who has ordered what turned out to be an atrocity? Who then gets his puppet dictators to imprison innocent people?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,568 ✭✭✭✭Cookie_Monster

    no, it's not. But it's a lot more misleading than saying the Nazi's killed Jews.
    Which part is misleading and why?
    Prove to me Obama himself signed the document and not just some senior military official, or indeed that Obama himself pulled the trigger which is exactly what your headline implies; that he himself killed women and children, not that some US naval ship fired as per the actual news story.

    From my perspective you are sick of the truth. The truth which shatters your illusion of Obama as some kind of altruistic saint when in fact he is just a continuation of Bush.

    again you are putting words in my mouth, that's not what I said nor implied.

    so he does sign it but doesn't pull the trigger himself, so basically you've proved me right that your headline is just sensationalist nonsense. He signed a kill order for an individual, he didn't tell them to carpet bomb the whole area, once again it's just US incompetence that see excess civilians killed rather than a malicious need or want to do it.

    Yes it is. You are making claims that I have been misleading in describing Obama's role as Chief of Staff in a massacre of innocents as murder. You then agreed that this wasn't anymore misleading than saying Hitler killed Jews.

    You can't have it both ways.

    Yeah, sure it is--- If you want to apply Holocaust denier logic then I can too.

    Can you present the documents that proves that Hitler ordered the extermination of the Jews?
    I have no illusion of Obama being an altruistic saint, again you are just putting words in my mouth.

    Fine then, use your own words. I'll start -- Deceptive, warmongering, spineless, lying, terrorist.

    I'll just add something. If Obama had any love or respect, would he order for the assassination of some rebel, KNOWING that it will most definitely result in civilian casualties and deaths. When you look at it this way, it seems that Obama doesn't care what happens to civilians as long as the "terrorists" are killed, which is basically collateral damage. That is something I, and many other people, do not agree with.

    Look at what is happening in Africa right now. The US will have troops in 35 African countries before the year ends, France (and the US) have invaded Mali, and have spilled over the borders into Niger to take control of uranium mines. And people wonder why groups such as Al-Qaeda make threats against these countries. Well you know what, PAYBACK'S A BITCH. So maybe tomorrow, or next month, or next year some group that doesn't agree with Western countries invading Africa attacks the US, and are labelled terrorists. Then Obama will push for an increase in the US defense budget, making the problem even bigger (look at what has happened to the defense budget since 9/11).

    I'm fed up of people who cannot open their eyes for a moment and see what actually is going on in the world, because the future is bleak unless change happens soon.

    You have put this very well. I would take it a step furter. I believe that the "payback" or blowback is desired. The case of Al Shabab is a perfect example as is the arming and support of Al Qaeda's allies in Libya and Syria. Put them into positions of power, wait until they start chopping of thieves hands and so on and then you have the perfect pretext to colonise on "humanitarian" grounds.

    Well there is a lot of conspiracies that are facts, but the best ones always get pushed aside because the truth would only clean out all the worlds psychopaths.

    And of course we can't have that can we?

    That has clearly been established. People who once lived, including women and children are now dead and in many different pieces due to him. He is a murderer in the sense that Charles Manson is also a murder and currently incarcerated for murder.

    Why you look up to and defend a torturerer-pardoning, murdering terrorist with personal kill-lists and torture dungeons who has already ordered the murder of his own citizens and has given himself the power to indefinitely detain his own citizens without trial is a question you should really be asking yourself.

    Not exactly MLK Jr is he?
