American Women Marching into Tribal Pakistan: Obama 'Worse Than Bush'

Anti-war activists head to Waziristan to protest drone strikes

By STEVEN NELSON

October 5, 2012

Thirty-two Americans associated with the feminist anti-war activist group Code Pink are in Pakistan for a march from Islamabad to that country's tumultuous tribal belt to protest American drone strikes that reportedly kill civilians along with their terrorist targets.

...snip...

Alli McCracken, who said she was one of the 24 American women in the contingent, said via an E-mail that Obama is "worse than Bush in some respects; he uses drones significantly more than Bush ever did, allowing him to carry out covert wars all over the world with zero accountability to Congress or the American public."

Obama, according to McCracken, has shown "total disregard for international law" when authorizing these strikes. Asked if Obama had authorized "murder," McCracken said, "Yes, as far as we know - and we know very little, since the drone program in Pakistan is operated by the CIA, and therefore cloaked in secrecy."

Medea Benjamin, one of Code Pink's leaders, is also in Pakistan for the march. We "are concerned about our safety, but more concerned about the safety of the people on the region, who live everyday with the threat of being obliterated by a hellfire missile," Benjamin said in an E-mail.

...snip...

Ahead of the protest march, the Associated Press notes that local press is buzzing with news of possible suicide attacks against the activists. The AP notes that a Pakistani Taliban spokesman denounced the march, saying "[we] don't need any sympathy" from "secular and liberal" protesters.

In some respects I agree with her. If he's re-elected, I fully expect the Federal government to deploy deadly force from drones on American soil.

Oy, good luck girls!

I hope you will survive, because for sure Obama will do nothing to help you if things go awry.

She's right about that.

Sorry honey. Hellfire missiles have a unit cost that greatly exceeds any expenditure that would occur to have you meet your maker right now. You're not worth the cost, frankly.

I don’t believe it. The Pak gov’t would not let them into the tribal areas. Unfortunately, ‘cause it would probably be a one-way trip.
