Umm...

Jesus-fuck-nuts.

Now we are blowing shit up in other countries, without telling them, who we claim we aren't at war with???

The secret order gave the military new authority to attack the Qaeda terrorist network anywhere in the world, and a more sweeping mandate to conduct operations in countries not at war with the United States.

I knew this shit was probably happening. But it still is startling to see it in the Times today.

Why is this not on the FRONT PAGE???

Every morning the New York Times is delivered to my Inbox. I scan the first few pages, looking for anything of interest.

I think this would have passed me by if JT hadn't linked to it on his Facebook.

In the "International News" section, under the "Asia" tab, halfway down the page under a story about China's inquiry into a tainted baby formula scandal is this headline:

"US reportedly kills 12 in Pakistan"

Yesterday morning we killed 12 people in Pakistan. They may have been terrorists on the way to fight in Afghanistan. Locals report that there were women and children killed in the bombing.

Twelve people.
