If the previous occupant kicks a hornets nest before you move in, that might force your hand in killing a lot more than the handful his foot managed.

I don't disagree with the fact, I disagree with the comparison.

Ah Bush made Obama kill all of those civilians. That is such a mind boggling, ridiculous excuse.

If we're to trust the IBC accounts, he killed less than half the civilians of Bush year on year, much thanks to the use of drones.

I don't condone any of it, but I think you're being disingenuous about how wars work if you're suggesting they can be waged without civilian deaths.
