When the Obama administration killed 22 Somali’s in an air strike late last year, the mainstream media hardly any took notice. The globalists moreover shed no tears for the 62 Syrian troops killed and 100 more wounded when the Obama administration “accidentally bombed” them in 2016.
Curiously no one in the Democratic Party was much concerned about their “human rights”.
President Trump’s travel ban for seven Middle Eastern countries deemed security risks, has now led to foreign leaders denouncing US domestic politics – a first – but Francois Hollande, Angela Merkel and Justin Trudeau never complained about Obama’s bombing of Muslims.
Trump’s executive order held up around 300 people at airports, while Obama’s bombings – often described as bombings “back to the Stone Age” – have left hundreds of thousands of Muslims killed, devastated and homeless. The victims of Obama’s air campaigns were being punished not only for residing happily in their own sovereign countries, but also because they were ruled by “dictators”. Should peoples subjected to “brutal dictators” receive the carpet bombing treatment too?
Out of the seven countries that were banned by President Trump last Friday, five were bombed by the Obama administration: Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya and Somalia. Trump is now being portrayed as beyond unreasonable while Obama is close to being hailed as a black saint, a guarantor of human freedoms.
Where were the George Soros funded organisations protesting the “nearly 100 attacks” that have occurred since 2009 in Yemen “resulting in the deaths of hundreds of militants, but also many civilians?”
Both the Obama and Bush administrations launched more than 94 000 air strikes, mostly on Iraq, but also on Libya, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, killing a million people and reducing tens of millions more to lives of disability, disfigurement, dislocation, grief and poverty.
Obama oversaw the largest military budget since WWII; an eight-fold increase in drone strikes; special forces operations in at least 134 countries, twice as many as under Bush.
A massive increase in the special forces night raids or “manhunts” originally launched by Rumsfeld in Iraq in 2003 was also noted, from 20 in Afghanistan in May 2009 to 1 000 per month by April 2011, killing the wrong people most of the time according to senior officers.
In Libya, Obama launched 7 700 air strikes in a war that killed at least 25 000 people and plunged the country into endless chaos. But to Democrats this is perfectly fine, as long as some 300 Muslims are not inconvenienced at an airport.
