"Obama Has Kept the Machine Set on Kill"-Journalist and Activist Allan Nairn Reviews Obama's First Year in Office In an extended interview, award-winning journalist and activist Allan Nairn looks back over the Obama administration's foreign policy and national security decisions over the last twelve months. "I think Obama should be remembered as a great man because of the blow he struck against white racism," Nairn says. "But once he became president...Obama became a murderer and a terrorist, because the US has a machine that spans the globe, that has the capacity to kill, and Obama has kept it set on kill. He could have flipped the switch and turned it off...but he chose not to do so." He continues, "In fact, as far as one can tell, Obama seems to have killed more civilians during his first year than Bush did in his first year, and maybe even than Bush killed in his final year."

Obama seems to have killed more civilians during his first year than Bush did in his first year
Is that a fair comparison looking at the state of the world now and then? and does that include civilian deaths due to the Iraq sanctions? Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
In fact, as far as one can tell, Obama seems to have killed more civilians during his first year than Bush did in his first year, and maybe even than Bush killed in his final year."
The bit you quoted is an unfair comparison, but it sets up the punchline that I bolded. Which is the comparison that really does Obama no favours as that was when we perceived Bush-Cheney to be at their most psychotic. keep to the Fen Causeway
