Politics is war by Other Means, and the truth is a victim.
NPR's Morning Edition reports that Obama killed more Al-Queda leaders in their first year than Bush killed in 8. No sources and no tally count. No headlines anywhere. Watch the buzz and see when the story breaks about this exageration. Here what I found.
LA Times:
U.S. missile strikes said to take heavy toll on Al Qaeda
Predator drone attacks in northwest Pakistan have increased sharply since Bush last year stopped seeking Pakistan's permission. Obama may keep pace as officials speak of confusion in Al Qaeda ranks.
WASHINGTON — An intense, six-month campaign of Predator strikes in Pakistan has taken such a toll on Al Qaeda that militants have begun turning violently on one another out of confusion and distrust, U.S. intelligence and counter-terrorism officials say.
The pace of the Predator attacks has accelerated dramatically since August, when the Bush administration made a previously undisclosed decision to abandon the practice of obtaining permission from the Pakistani government before launching missiles from the unmanned aircraft.
