I dont know about all that, but I was thinking recently about a story I read years and years ago.
About a girl in iraq who had her face burned off when a american drone dropped a missile on the car next to her family on the highway.
Everyone was killed except for her somehow. America fearing that this would help spur the insurgency, scooped the girl up and the uncle and aunt never seen her again.
Last they heard she was living in america living a good life.
Anyone know this story? Was this fake? Did I imagine this one too?
Found it pretty easy using duckduckgo. Google is straight propaganda now.
And russia is the bad guys, lol.
Sad symbol of the US drone war
But back to Aisha. During her stay at a Kabul hospital, the little girl received a visit from ex-President Hamid Karzai. In a later interview, the former Afghan President described how he shed tears upon meeting the faceless girl. Karzai reported that Aisha would apparently soon be taken to the US for treatment.
In the meantime, Aisha is no longer in Afghanistan. Her family, who had been taking care of her since the attack, did not know at first where the girl had been taken. Nor did they give their consent for Aisha to be treated in the US. The family – above all Aisha's uncle – believes to this day that the girl was taken away intentionally to get her out of the public spotlight. The girl without a face might after all have become a sad symbol for the illegal US drone war.
The renowned "Bureau of Investigative Journalism" (TBIJ), based in London, recently came to the conclusion that Afghanistan is the target of more drone bombings than any other country in the world. This fact is rarely mentioned, as most people associate the drone war with countries such as Somalia, Yemen or Pakistan.
They love to use children to get people riled up, but when its them doing the killing.
Meh no big deal.
