Obama's Drones Reportedly Kill Three Children

Where's the great "change" so many voted for? According to a report,
Missiles fired from suspected US drones killed at least 15 people inside Pakistan today, the first such strikes since Barack Obama became president and a clear sign that the controversial military policy begun by George W Bush has not changed.

Security officials said the strikes, which saw up to five missiles slam into houses in separate villages, killed seven "foreigners" - a term that usually means al-Qaeda - but locals also said that three children lost their lives.
It's a simple case of collateral damage. An accident. Happens every day. No evil involved. Certainly this doesn't make Obama a murderer.
