BG45 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) From the article "Several were Americans". The Obama Administration has already used a drone to assassinate an American citizen who joined a terrorist organization in Yemen. He never fired against his fellow Americans, only spouted rhetoric about America's destruction that I hear from Left and Right organizations here in the United States. That we're discussing the possibility of using drone strikes to further assassinate American citizens abroad seems to be a slippery slope to me, given recent legislation allowing for their domestic use here at home. It's not that far a leap from "Let's kill this bad guy in Yemen" to "Let's kill this bad guy in America". The media makes it sound like this is mostly the low level type of cheap drones domestically. [url="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2073248/Local-cops-used-Predator-drone-arrest-North-Dakota-farm-family-stealing-6-cows.html"]However, last year in North Dakota, a predator drone was used in a cattle stealing case.[/url] Edit: My apologies to any Canadian posters who click the link. The English language is apparently elusive to the Daily Mail in its native home, and your nation is referred to as "Can[b]i[/b]da".

Anomaly Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Meh. The right would spin it to make O look bad even if the guy was shooting babies. The left are afraid they may be on the list too. I wonder what the dollar per death ratio is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
