favor President Obama had new policy for drones
the the CIA was going to use them we're going to use the military has the
military is actually more transparent and we could *** about
how the use drones in what is this is it cetera well I like how quite gone around
that so far they are easily edit
drone strike in Yemen and the
won't tell us where there was a CIA or the pentagon that did they won't give us
any information about who was killed
there might be a good reason for that first let's remember know what their
guidelines were dissociated Press says Obama's new guidelines including using
lethal force only to prevent or stop attacks against US persons
and even then only went after is not feasible and no other reasonable
alternatives exist
to address the threat effectively it also requires near-certain
near certainty ok no civilian casualties perhaps it is actually near certainty of
civilian casualties
as it turns out so you're gonna about the sea
what kind of a joke that s US military drone strike in Yemen last december
so not a long time ago was the summer 12 2013
may have killed up to a dozen civilians on their way
to a wedding and injured others including the bride
a human rights group s and that is reported by The Associated Press
when asked about the administration say
into quote US officials say only members about k to work lol course I know they
said the check twice
and they had the government check the self into differences they saw a great
job great job we all those people go to the wedding
including the broader All Brigante errors weren't they have course they
were they had to come
so let me tell you what happen in reality wedding procession of
11 vehicles on December 2012 and 2013
therefore help fire missiles fired twelve men killed at least 15 other was
wounded
six of them very seriously get
now three US officials according to the Associated Press said that the US
government did a messy it two straight against
all but done enough said theoretical target
twice and concluded that only members about kato were killed
and the three vehicles that were head are well thank you for concluding that
we appreciate it
by the way this is a strike on all but donnie all Madani
is a wanted man in Yemen
now I spoke this we were only supposed two straight weddings
when there wasn't imminent threat against an attack against the United
States
with that wedding procession was about to hit the United States
you know we're cooperating with the MN
and we say hey look will kill guys we don't like buddy you know thanks for
your cooperation ever was while also kill guys you don't lie
right it's great I'm glad we're only using this in case the
a severe situation where the US is about to get ahead
and there no civilians are up but it's okay cuz I'm sure they got all but done
right
now he was the target right and that they know they kill the terrace
did not get all but donnie they say well I would week we think he might have been
had we know is that killed
week no really no peace was there but
anyway sorry he's not dead but others are
a letter Tyler from a senior terrorism and counterterrorism researcher
*** too we ask both the many and the US
authorities tell us which have the dead and wounded were members a militant
group
and which if any were civilians they did not reply to this question
now if you saw ensure
hey you know there might be some doctors and even the researchers said look
its eat really hard a target a different witnesses so they got people on the
ground they also talk to family members obviously p.m. members could be bias
right
they say that this was a simple wedding procession now the US government
officials say but
we saw the video and they had guns on the trucks first believe you're in Yemen
might you carry weaponry around a two guard yourself Yemen is
in fact has more guns per capita that almost
any other country in world the ranks number two only behind
the US if you use that same center in the US would be drawn people left then
right
Texas would be a smoldering mess all
that there was a pickup truck when I got hit with a drone strike and by the way
they might also brought weapons 20 a their wedding because I weddings they
have this tradition
where they fired guns into the other air to celebrate they might want to cut that
tradition out because apparently
we don't have very good intelligence and will *** your wedding
it we think you're shooting any weapons for any reasons
in Yemen remember we did a previous report
we showed that the way that they're actually trying these people is through
their phones their SIM cards
so they don't actually know who has the phone and open to this family members
who have the phone
that order terrorist or people that don't people
that don't have anything to do with the terrorists and oppose you transferred
around et cetera
so we don't actually have human intelligence tongue as soon as I gotta
know we do we saw weapons in
we're trying to somehow know all those two people are dead now
all but don't worry we never had civilians now
if you're not commence by the human rights group listen to this
the local you many governor and military commander
call the strike a mistake encompass a the families of those killed and injured
so even the locally you many officials on the ground closest to it said yes
it was a mistake there was a wedding procession
and we killed them no but Obama tells me that the
program is totally transparent Inc boy we never kill civilians
except for all those people going to that wedding
Joe Scarborough tells me that they hate us because they hate us
I mean who can fish trap compacted arabs compact
HMO's looks they had a scuba hey this
or maybe the heat is cuz we killed a dozen of their people in 15
wounded in that one particular case let alone the hundreds of other strikes
as they were on their way to a wedding
