for soldier me ski hill was uh... on
the program up with chris hayes on msnbc
or the weekend
and he made some very controversial remarks about the drone program
let's watch
if if someone goes into a shopping mall in pursuit of one of their enemies and
opens fire
on on a crowd of people and guns down all bunch of innocent people are
shopping mall that murdered those people
um... if the wind when your palm administration sets a policy
where patterns of life are enough of a green light
to drop missiles on keyboarding use uh... unity to to send an a_c_-one
thirty's to spray them down hamburg delegation area talking a lot of
personnel or about that's up about that and if you go to the village of el
modulo in yemen
about where i was and you see liana spotted cluster bombs and you have the
west and and photographic evidence is ideal
of the women and children that represented the vast majority of the
deaths in a in this trip for strike though bob authorized onion and those
people were murdered
by president obama on his orders
because their was believed to be someone from outside in that area there's only
one person has been identified that any connection what kind of their and and
twenty-one women in fourteen children were killed in that strike and u_s_
tried to cover it up and say it was a yemeni strike and we know from the wiki
weeks cables that david petraeus conspired with the president of yemen to
lie to the world about that bombing it's murder would you it's a mass murder when
you say we are going to bob this area because we believe the terrorists is
their ng in older women and children are in the area
united says novel gation to not barnett areas they believe that women and
children there that that i'm sorry that we are
that is a murder look we've had so-called collateral damage surround a
lot of our wars and almost all while wars obviously
uh... we kill civilians in world war two weather was there
here she mind nine excited bombings of the fire bombing of dresden etcetera
so there's been a lot of civilian casualties in some done completely on
purpose if cops the bomb 'em all and they were going on for a bag and he
killed the permanent chill in the process would that be called murder well
is a different standard if you're in the noble war on the other hand ed jermika
great would say
are we in the middle of a war doing this in yemen in pakistan
where we have no declared war and i'm not sure that you know we have to see
what the jury says are not mall bombing
or the circumstances that are so it is a very very tough question as to what you
call it
it is not talk in terms of whether you do it or not if i was the president the
united states
and i said i don't think he was going to kill thirty-five civilians including
women and children
i wanted to be out one outdated guy
i would say that is not an equation i'm in favor of
and i was hoping that we would have a progressive president who would agree
with that apparently we do not
the bombings continue
so over the last two weeks we've had six trond sp uh... attacks in pakistan alone
over the weekend three different ones now though
foreign ministry of pakistan is calling them quote illegal
which is a strong word and saying it violates
their sovereignty which is almost certainly true obviously violates its
sovereignty
if they're not in favor of it some of course for you
the passively approve those by calling things illegal in public
they're seeking seeming indicate that we no longer passively
approve these
now are four missiles were fired the village of my rot
rugs i in southern was ears and
over the weekend twelve people killed in the three bombings overall
twenty seven people killed
how many of those were actually stereos militants
it is entirely on clear
one thing that is clear is that we have target civilians including
it what is known as a double tap which is
when uh...
there is a bombing
if people go to help first responders
are you doing double tap any kill those guys
or you do a double time but if you know when they go very the guy killed intros
right
individual strike on the funeral this double time visit
term that was corinne
apparently
to describe what homeostatic in some of their suicide bombings
so we'll get back then the second so have we in fact don knapp though here in
the united states
answer seems to be a definitive yes
the bureau of investigation i was in
says that the c_i_a_ strong campaign in pakistan
has killed dozens of civilians who had gone
to help
rescue victims
or were attending funerals
new york times for the describes that same reports saying
at least fifty civilians have been killed
involved strikes after they rushed to help those head
by trond fired missile
and of for the morris is the bureau count on more than twenty other
civilians killed in strikes on funerals
you know going green wall describes this is all you know
to paraphrase and kind of comic book
you know if if someone did this in a movie they'd be like a mafia boss going
to kill
five people at a funeral and it would seem despicable or empty evil
bill niskanen serine fact
i found out today the mafia has an unwritten rule that you don't do this if
you know steven the mafia has that rule
and we will not
abide by it
it's not just something we've done the past is what we did this weekend
as a guardian points out
at the time of the attack this is the second attack
armor
this one struck the funeral
of one of the guys who's being married
airport at the time attack suspected militants
had gathered to offer condolences to the brother or other milton commander killed
during another u_s_ unmanned drone attack on saturday the brother was one
of those who died in the sunday morning attack the tax any official said to the
dead were foreigners an arrest for pakistani
now when you go about foreigners inside pakistan oftentimes that is all uh...
foreign fighters
that might be connected to allocate it is it
who knows nobody knows
how about the brother of the so-called milton
it was see on any list not as far as we know
it appears that he might be a civilian but you know what he made a mistake
of attending his mother's funeral
how dare he who also among those twelve killed in that particular strike was
civilians
no one knows no one counts in fact the official position of though obama
governess
if you are military aged
mail in a strike zone you are assumed to be guilty
your assumed to be a milton
byerly military age just means if you're an adult male
in a place we've decided to bomb
we assume you're guilty
hello someone proves you innocent
after you dot
because that's how we can civilians
as ap problematic is that if you found no matter what you call it
buddy calmer or not
in fact
where do we get this well
we got this idea of the so-called double tap
from other terrorist their fbi i described it this way palaces in a new
story about the f_b_i_ warning about secondary explosive devices in iraq
terrorists
may use secondary explosive devices
to kill and injure and urgency personnel
responding to an initial attack
the f_b_i_ den warn u_s_ law enforcement
agencies
and their warning about this
bill locally here in the u_s_
this early warning about in iraq as well cuz they saw
but that was happening salam attacks in iraq in fact
their right to warn about here locally 'cause it's happened before
uh... the domestic terrorist uh...
uh... eric rudolph did it in his nineteen ninety eight bombing
of an all-woman scoring keel submitted that
northside family planning services in nineteen ninety-seven over and over
again he would do what was called a double tap
first bomb
when police respond first responders rescuers respond
he slows the larger second bomb
now uh...
this internal activities is doing
uh... here
in the u_s_ i was eric rudolph
but i must apparently also did it now this is where the two thousand seven
homeland security report
terrorism says about hamas quote a favorite activa of huh must lead double
tap a device is set off in one please
and other first responders arrived
a second larger devices said often flick
more casualties
and spread panic
went hamas doesn't
we call a terrorist
when we do it we said hey we just don't know
where the actual locals know we know we kill civilians report explains
kill civilians over and over again
in these double taps
notable we're not terrorist were not murderers
his were the good guys
by definition
now what do you call it well that's up to you
but what we're doing is absolutely clear
and it's something so heinous that would describe this terrorism before something
so heinous
the mafia won't even do it
