2009: Obama Already A WAR CRIMINAL! 22 Men, Women & Children Dead

If you bomb Innocent People in a Sovereign State isn't that a WAR CRIME? And the Leaders of the Country you are Bombing ask you to stop, and you don't...is that not also a WAR CRIME?

Islamabad urged US President Barack Obama on Saturday to halt US missile strikes on its territory after civilians were killed in the first such attacks since his inauguration.

Remote-controlled US drones fired missiles into the village of Zharki in North Waziristan on Friday, killing 22.

Pakistani security officials said that eight "suspected foreign militants" were among the dead.

Pakistani Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir informed US ambassador Anne Patterson of Islamabad's "great concern" over the civilian casualties.

CIA Predator drones have carried out 28 missile attacks in Pakistan since last summer, killing at least 132 people.

Pakistani officials said that as many as 100 of them were civilians.

Islamabad has repeatedly complained that stepped-up missile strikes there have been more than 30 since August boost popular support for anti-US guerillas and undermine the government's own efforts to counter Islamist fighters.

The Pakistani Foreign Ministry released a statement on Saturday, which read: "With the advent of the new US administration, it is Pakistan's sincere hope that the US will review its policy and adopt a more holistic and integrated approach toward dealing with the issue of terrorism and extremism.

"We maintain that these attacks are counterproductive and should be discontinued," it concluded.
