America been blowing up Afghan weddings and flinging knife missiles into apartment blocks for decades and some folk there are just realising that drone strikes on civilians is murder.
The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

Making a guy who owns 16 houses the shadow housing minister is truly inspiring stuff from the Libs - like the time Labor made the guy with 7 houses the regulator for landlords.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
