@Mafoo. Airstrikes were carried out under the Bush administration, they have continued and instensified under the Obama administration. I don't see how thats arguable, its not saying that the strike is Bush's fault - or even if the policy is bad. Just that the policy was originally started under Bush.

As for the strike, I'm not going to condemn it until more information comes out. If it turns out (as it almost certainly will) that civilians were killed then its another stupid strike by a US military that seems incompetent at directing its drones in the right area. If it has killed more civilians then they definately need to stop firing the damned things as they obviously have no control of who they end up hitting, so innocent civilians die. That and its a PR disaster for the US.
