No NOT "AT THE 2004 White House Correspondents' Dinner"....that IS one reason why their remarks are not comparable.

Every war inevitably has some civilian casualties... I believe use of the drones, imperfect though it is, reduces this over, say, carpet bombing or invading with 100,000 troops and blasting villagers who look suspicious. What would YOU prefer we do to find and attempt to eliminate terrorists in this mountains? Should we just pack up & leave?

There were FAR more civilians killed as our armor rolled thru Iraq on the pretense of 'finding WMDs'. You could look it up.
