Drone Strikes And The Obama Administration

Recommended Posts

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".

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

Thanks for providing a new POV, Kujo.

[url="http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-international/article3478492.ece"]The same news[/url] was published here, but they made it look like a negative thing. However, to be fair to the paper, they also published [url="http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/article3373708.ece"]this[/url].

How about we get rid of both drones AND military invasions overseas? These drones are frickin terrifying.

So that if someone tried to stab him, the blade would hit the notebook, instead?

I hope you don't get stabbed, kujo...

... Utter grammatical failure. I meant to say "I will contact the government to send a [b]drone[/b] over". Hopefully Kujo knew what I meant.
