How many terrorists has President Obama actually ‘taken out’? Probably more than 30,000.

Use your head. How does a Muslim Brotherhood 'sympathizer' authorize military actions that result in such high Muslim body counts?

Did that 'sympathy' prevent the killing of bin Laden?

And did a single Muslim that comprises the body count give a flying f*ck what he was called right up until he was blown to smithereens?

So far, from the guy whose language you like, one ill-prepared and failed mission in Yemen.

Gilsanin also points to an interesting quote from Rear Admiral John Kirby in January of this year. Asked how many Islamic State fighters had been killed, Kirby replied, "First of all, we don't have the ability to -- to count every nose that we shwack [sic]. Number two, that's not the goal. That's not the goal. The less of these guys that are out there, certainly that's the better, but the goal is to degrade and destroy their capabilities."

Total terrorists schwacked: 23,000
Schwacked by Obama: 23,000

Over those five theaters, then, the total number of terrorists killed since fighting began ranges from 65,800 to 88,600. Of that number, Obama is responsible for between 30,000 and 33,000 -- including only the Islamic State, Pakistan, Africa and the Iraqi kills since 2009 as indexed by the AFP.

In short, neither we nor Rear Admiral Kirby nor President Obama can say with certainty just how many terrorists have been "taken out" since the latter individual became president of the United States. What counts as a "terrorist" is just too murky, and the methods used to take them out are just too imprecise.
