"Is this person going for the hypocrite of the century award?" Left wing Member of Parliament Clare Daly asked of Obama during a speech before parliament at the end of the G8 summit held in Northern Ireland. "Because we have to call things by their right names, and the reality is that by any serious examination, this man is a war criminal," she was quoted as saying by The Huffington Post. "This is the man who has facilitated a 200 percent increase in the use of drones, which have killed thousands of people including hundreds of children," Daly said. The Irish politician also criticized the Obama administration for escalating war in Syria and sending arms to foreign-backed militants in the country. Obama is “in essence stalling the Geneva peace talks by trying to broker enhanced leverage for the Syrian opposition by giving them arms - and to hell with the thousands more who’ll lose their lives, or the tens of thousands who will be displaced,” she argued.
