There is a difference in being present and engaging a hostile enemy, where split second decisions come into play, and a person flying a remotely operated armed aircraft who is acting off intelligence searching for a target is there not?
In training everything is so crazy you develop a do first, then realize what you are doing mentality.
That obviously wouldn't apply to a longer mission, like a drone mission, but just saying.. I never saw one order refused.

Maybe the DHS was MIA in this meeting cuz the meeting never happened?
A high-level intelligence source, who must remain anonymous

Judicial Watch says ISIS operating a camp in Mexico--near El Paso : FALSE
www.politifact.com...
I guess if we can't bomb Iran, Mexico is as good a second choice as any...LOL
I'm willing to trust Judicial Watch, as opposed to what appears to be a biased media organisation. Here is an excerpt from PolitiFact Bias:

This meeting took place.....much is going on that tptb don't want us to know about. And it really makes me angry that independent media organisations (like Judicial Watch, Infowars, et al) are being discredited for telling the truth.

Good thing the US has weaponized drones and is not afraid of using them in other countries without permission.
Yeah...pretty soon the weaponized drones will be used on US citizens without permission.

Your reply stole the thoughts right out of my head but said them in a far more eloquent fashion that I can muster. Thank you and I mean that deeply because I truly believe what you said will most likely come to pass - and that is how the beginning of the end will start.
I weep inside for what our country has become, no longer even a pale shadow of the great nation I grew up believing it to be. We've been hollowed out from within, our traditions and values cast aside as quaint and outdated in a brave new world of danger. All to stop terrorists those claiming to stop them have created.
Grand theater playing out on the world stage for all to see. Just believe the lies they tell us on tv and everything will be fine, trust us - we are your government and it's our job to keep you safe from all those awful things out there which are just too terrible to tell us about.
Drones like the predator are just the beginning like a blunderbuss in the history of firearms development. It's what we haven't yet seen that scares me. You never reveal to your enemy (us!) what your latest weapons are or can do. What can hundreds of billions of dollars create when it comes to destruction and control? We'll be lucky to get a glimpse of it before it erases our lives forever.
History will lament how they never saw it coming. They were expecting to be attacked by biplanes when it reality it was stealth bombers. Our perceptions of their capabilities are so far behind reality as to be farcical, laughable even if it weren't for the ultimate cost in human lives and misery.
Why is everyone saying our military won't obey an order to attack Americans? Why can't they get Chinese drone pilots or North Korean - does anyone suppose they will care who they blow up? Wake up America, the age of globalism is stomping it's way like a drunken giant and will crush all in it's path.

I think it would be safe to say if that ever occurred the Government would get a reminder of why we have a 2nd amendment and what the British felt like when we opened up a huge can of whoop ass on them at Lexington and Concord.
