Making a mockery of his Nobel Peace Prize, Obama authorized 563 drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia—ten times more than his Republican predecessor—killing hundreds and possibly thousands of innocent people, children included.10 This bloody number doesn’t even encompass other drone strikes authorized by Obama in Libya, Afghanistan, and the Philippines.11 And in one of the most terrifying abuses of executive power in modern history, Obama used the office of the presidency to justify killing US citizens in Yemen without trial by remote control.12 War crimes we can believe in.
