    Obama had the lowest number of civilian deaths since President Carter and was far lower than Trump that followed him. Republicans had to invent a new metric to find something bad to say about Obama. Since he wasn’t killing thousands of people like Bush, they invented the metric of drone strikes to make him seem worse than Bush.

      Funny you say that because it’s his administration that redefined what combatant is to include any young man or boy as an enemy combatant. That way he could claim he wasn’t killing civilians he was killing enemy comments.
