An American and an Italian held hostage by al-Qaida, as well as two Americans working with the terror group, were inadvertently killed by U.S. drone strikes earlier this year, the government revealed Thursday.

President Barack Obama said he took "full responsibility" for the counterterror missions and offered his "grief and condolences" to the families of the hostages.

Full responsibility and a smug satisfaction at a job well done.

It took this long for him to scrape the bottom of his inbox? Those poll testers are taking much longer to do their jobs.

I’m not willing to blame him for this one.

The drone strike was targeting the bad guys. Some good guys were inadvertently also killed.

When GWB was president we would have called this “collateral damage” - a regrettable but inevitable occurrence when one is fighting a war on terrorism. That being the case, I am going to refer to it by that term when it happens while Obama is president.

God knows there are plenty of atrocities and evil for which he IS responsible.

This is the first time that Obama has taken “full responsibility” for the death of innocent Americans, thus I can conclude only one thing — He’s bragging”.

I guess I should have said, other than the anti-American ones like Bergdahl and the guy from Cuba.

obama has no concept of what full responsibility means. Its meant to shield his people from being of any responsibility and taking any blame
