"Drone King" Leon Panetta Claims That Israel's Precision-Targeted Campaign Against Hezballah Terrorist Is Itself "Terrorism"

Is he making policy or just doing politics, appealing to his increasingly-pro-Hamas voter base?

If he's serious about this, then the US can never, ever use aerial attacks again, because our attacks kill more unintended civilians than a bunch of exploding Hezballah radios do. The only method of making war that is more precise that blowing up someone's personal security comms device is firing at them by sniper. And even snipers sometimes hit civilians.

Is he serious?

Shouldn't someone in what we laughingly call the "American press corps" ask him?

Is Panetta announcing that from now going forward, America will not kill a terrorist except by sniper? Inserting a sniper into a hostile foreign country? In every case we intend to kill a terrorist?

Really?

Really?

Or is just pandering for the Muslims of Dearborn, Michigan?

Duane Patterson notes how very, very precise "Operation Grim Beeper" has been:

By May of 2009, it is believed that north of 50 bad guys had their ticket punched with Panetta hitting a joystick button from Washington. Mind you, it's a policy with which I'm totally supportive. Dead terrorists make the best terrorists, I always say, and if it can be done remotely without risking American personnel, icing on the cake. But now that the Israelis have upped the technology game to a ridiculously impressive level with Operation Grim Beeper and Radio Boom-Boom, Leon Panetta, Mr. Drone, has a problem with it?
In 2009, drone warfare was the most precise method of counterterrorism in the history of mankind, but there still were civilian casualties, including children. According to the Watson Institute, over the course of the entire War on Terror, Afghanistan and Pakistan phase, there were roughly 70,000 civilian casualties through early 2023. That's all forms of warfare - air, sea-based strikes, and ground forces.
By contrast, in Afghanistan alone from early 2004 through early 2020, drone strikes had a much lower ratio of combatant-to-civilian casualties. Worst-case estimates were 900 civilians, 180 of them children, were killed compared to 10,000 bad guys dispatched off this rock to go find their 72 virgins. That's about a 10-1 ratio, far better than conventional warfare. Now compare that to what the Israelis pulled off last week.

See the link for video of Panetta now claiming that putting explosives into common technology (albeit technology sold to Hezballah) is making a "war of terror" on Hezballah, and constitutes "a form of terrorism."

Meanwhile, Netanyahu says the gloves are off.

In case that needs to be said.

The Jerusalem Post:

The IDF hit over 300 Hezbollah targets during two major rounds of strikes against Hezbollah on Monday. ...
These waves of air strikes constituted the fifth and sixth round of massive air strikes on Hezbollah since Thursday of last week, especially in southern Lebanon, including further from the border than in some prior cases.
Among the attacks was a significant strike against Hezbollah deep into Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. A senior Hezbollah official, Ali Aburia, was reportedly killed in one of the IAF strikes on Lebanon, Sky News Arabia reported on Monday, citing multiple sources.

Panetta and McCain were good buddies and shared a neocon view of how the world should work. He was also Obama's first CIA Director and pushed the Russia collusion hoax he knew was false. I'm sure someday we'll hear about his involvement with running guns through Libya to Syria where both he and McCain couldn't get enough war.

And Dinahs brothers said ok, but all yalls gotta get circ'd first. And the Hivites said ok. And while they were recovering in pain, Dinah's brothers went and killed all the Hivite men?

I don't think he'll support Trump, but I think he realizes his people have more in common with Trump than Harris.

Israel is at war, obviously. If their enemies don't want to consider themselves as being at war, I guess that's their problem.

Wars are meant to be won. If one side is kicking arse, then I guess the other side says it looks like terrorism, because there's nothing more terrifying than losing a war.

That being said, the American foreign policy industrial complex obviously doesn't want Israel to win this war, and they don't want the other side to lose.

They want it to go on and on and on and on, forever.

191 It really isn't terrorism.
This wasn't an indiscriminate suicide bombing at a pop concert.

Or sending tens of thousands of unguided rockets into a neighboring country.

This was a precisely targeted attack against members of a designated terrorist organization at war with Israel.

The original essay was rather repetitive, and goes from violence, to economics, to self opinion, and then because it was 1968 and it was Norman Spinrad, it went to self identification (the war is complete when the enemy can no longer tell the difference between themselves and the enemy) to sexual attraction (the lust for the enemy is greater than the fear of the consequences of defeat) and psychedelic reality alteration (the enemy is now a giraffe)

I thought there was more wisdom than comedy in that stupid essay.

215 “ By May of 2009, it is believed that north of 50 bad guys had their ticket punched with Panetta hitting a joystick button from Washington.”

Let me fill you in on another secret. Because I would call this “fake but accurate”. Panetta and his band of merry douchebags also put in place a restrictive ROE that not only tied the hands of making those drones strikes, but also put them in the hands of slimy hands of JAG dirtbags like David French. Those ROE calls, while these JAGoffs sat in the COC drinking the good coffee, got a lot of guys killed. Even if there was a TIC situation these JAG assholes in many cases wouldn’t even make the call for a go. In the end, that due to fatasses like Panetta who sat at the top of that shitpile. How’s that for irony?

Ach, Stephen King actually wrote his Dark Tower series to establish that his survival was the linchpin upon which the continued existence of Earth, the Universe, and Reality depended. Werner wishes he was joking here. Another non-joke is that a trailer is out now for an upcoming film entitled "2073." It is of the dystopian future genre, billed as a "warning." Images of Javier Millei and Elon Musk are part of a montage that the narrator describes as reflecting that the majority of the planet is under authoritarian rule. Werner is reminded of this year's "Civil War," in which the most appalling aspect is that someone believed that Scheisse. Werner now hears cognac calling his name.
