Extending the comparison period back for drones only. You're fixated on drones. Why? Do you think death by drone is more abominable than death by other opposing-force causes?

No, I'm not. I asked for all of the innocent deaths from inception of hostilities to present, not just the deaths attributable to drones - CIA drones or other.
> I know that Obama didn't invade Iraq.
Have a cookie, then remember that Bush did invade Afghanistan, loose interest in it, and then invade Iraq. I believe that the raw numbers of Pakistani deaths (caused by US Forces) should be compared to the raw numbers of Iranian deaths, in this context. Not what you and that tripe writer seem to favor. You're giving Doss a leg up with that.

With regards to Afghanistan, please point to the "peace candidate" part of his pre-election rhetoric. With cites. Because I remember an emphasis on going after bin Laden, wherever he was, not continuance of dalliances in countries with ties to oil concerns and their corporate interests.
Yemen is a different country and deserves its own address. In this context, I don't recall it being mentioned before the last 30 days or so. Feel free to prove Yemen doesn't have some al Qaida component that is under attack.
