An American drone strike in January killed four people in Afghanistan:
An American and an Italian held hostage by al-Qaida, as well as two Americans working with the terror group, were inadvertently killed in U.S. counterterrorism operations earlier this year, the White House said Thursday.One of the casualties, Warren Weinstein, was kidnapped in 2011. He begged Obama to save him before Obama finally killed him.The White House said that Warren Weinstein, an American held by al-Qaida since 2011, and Giovanni Lo Porto, an Italian held since 2012, were killed in a January operation in the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The operation targeted an al-Qaida-associated compound and there was no reason to believe either hostage was present, the White House said.
In addition, the U.S. believes that Ahmed Farouq, an American who the White House says was an al-Qaida leader, was killed in the same operation. U.S. officials have also concluded that Adam Gadahn, an American who had served as a spokesman for the terror network, was killed in a separate operation in January.
The White House said Farouq and Gadhan were not specifically targeted in the operations, nor did the U.S. have information indicating their presence at the sites.
Yes, Obama killed Weinstein and the others.
You see, Obama maintains a kill list for drone strikes.
Since the Obama administration largely shut down the CIA's rendition programme, choosing instead to dispose of its enemies in drone attacks, those individuals who are being nominated for killing have been discussed at a weekly counter-terrorism meeting at the White House situation room that has become known as Terror Tuesday. Barack Obama, in the chair and wishing to be seen as a restraining influence, agrees the final schedule of names. Once details of these meetings began to emerge it was not long before the media began talking of "kill lists." More double-speak was required, it seemed, and before long the term disposition matrix was born.Killing Americans is nothing new to our President. Obama has killed four Americans prior to this incident.
Obama has been personally directing drone strikes for some time, raising the ire of some in the left wing media:

He has killed hundreds in Mexico plus an American border guard and 4 Americans in Benghazi and wounded dozens of others.
Always put the really bad terrorists where you keep the really good hostages. It’s a no brainer.
Remember when civilians were accidentally killed by strikes when Bush II was president? Remember the outrage?
Can’t criticize our phony token president...
0bama: “I’m really good at killing people”
0bama care killz many too.
Allah Fubar
As Ronald Reagan said, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"
Well done 'Killer' O'Venal!
'Hey, hey, LBJ BHO! How many babies hostages did you kill today?'
Not as easy as it looks from the seminar lounges of Harvard, is it Obama?......
Nope...in this case Obama did nothing wrong...Innocent people get killed in wars all the time...apparently, there wasn’t a hint that these two hostages were anywhere near that facility....very sad but just one of those tragic things that happen....the killing of the other two was GREAT
It is not my intention to support Barack Obama, but an American who has joined our enemies has forfeited his citizenship, in my opinion. “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”
Provided 2 or more have testified to a traitor’s treason, working with enemies who clearly have killed Americans, then they are on the battlefield and subject to death.
I agree. I have to shake my head over the reaction of the media. This is a WAR. I guess we need to lose another 3,000 people some morning to remind people.
The sob is nothing but a drive-by shooter.
