White House Defends Drone Attacks, "Kill List"

Do they know whomever they kill on purpose, or by accident, has friends and family who will seek revenge.. lol
It will never end, ever.

I would like to agree with you here... BUT

These people are sitting in highly secured buildings behind a computer screen, hundreds if not thousands of miles away from the actual weapon(drone)...

Faceless enemy

I guess the White House has it's "Death Panel".

They've found a way to justify killing Americans overseas.

Honestly, how long will it be before they find jutification to start killing Americans domestically with drones?

Granted, yet only in respect to the guilty by the hand of the righteous and often thats done in the name of God.

Pretty prevalent throughout most Muslim displays of war, just not the US. For it is said that he who has slain the innocent will meet their demise with the hand or wrath 10 fold.

I'm not a huge fan of Obama, but no one can doubt that he has the backbone to use military force to protect America.
I admire the man for that.

Pathetic!
There is no war in Pakistan, an "allied" country.
Labelling all bodies found within the "kill zone" after the fact as "combatants" or targets, does not justify the Murder of children and Americans not on any terrorist watch list.
Where is the outrage?
If G.W. Bush had been "caught" doing this, the hysteria over "war crimes" would be unstoppable; here, the Obama admin leaks clearly classified info to the NYT for political gain, and the sycophants cream in their pants.

The hypocrisy is sickening.

Luckily, Obama refuses to fight the war against terrorism with one arm tied behind his back.
Drone strikes have been very successful at killing terrorists.

Of course , if Obama had taken specific targets into custody and used "enhanced interrogation,"
you'd decry the use of torture, right?
And his make-sgift definition, that , if you're dead, then you must be a terorist, is just fine with you, right?

Instead, he violates the Constitution, violates international sovereignty, murders Americans, kills innocent children and civilians, and you're singing his praises!

Then, he leaks his most classified program to the NYT for pure political gain, and he's a hero?
While DoJ prosecutes "whistleblowers" and clamps a veil of secrecy on much less intel-oriented operations, and we sing his praises?

Not only are the advocates of such conduct hopelessly myopic, they reveal how morally bankrupt they and their lord and savior truly are.

Sorry, I've got to go vomit.

You should read the following thread:

Obama redefined 'militant' to mean "all military-age males in a strike zone"

Then perhaps consider that whenever you read that 'militants' or 'terrorists' have been killed, it could be that innocent men were killed and the definition itself is in favour of biased, propagandist reporting. You have NO WAY of knowing the truth, as the reporters themselves only bleat out what shadowy 'officials' tell them.

Bias, propaganda and lies. Stop blindly following the leader - he's about to lead you into a pit.

Don't get drawn in too far, I have a sneaky feeling that the thread has attracted the attention of unsavory types.

Can anyone riddle me this? If pennywise bursts his balloon by overinflation, can he lure kids down the drain?

Too obvious and it's easy.

Awesome post!
I believe ollncasino was being sarcastic and he's just as sick of the current administration and their czars as many others are. I think he had to go vomit too.
The true Obama supporters are conditioned to look the other way when Obama shows his true agenda, colors. Their special interests are so much more important to them then some stupid ol kill list.
I guess they think supporting the dictator gives them a free pass.

I'm beginning to think it is I who misunderstood Ollncasinos posts. Once I realized this, it was too late to edit my post. Please accept my apology, I think I was in denial and just couldn't accept Ollncasinos comments on this to be serious, lol, .......nooooooooo, not Ollncasino!
I respect his opinions nonetheless.

(Maybe he was tippsy when he posted? Or am I still in denial)...sorry Ollncasino, I'll pull it together in a minute
Meanwhile back at the ranch, this morning our local newspaper printed an article on the Drones that will be gracing our beautiful skies. I'll try to attach the link here.
Drones could soon be flying in FL skies

Kuzma said he is confident privacy worries can be overcome

I wonder what makes him so confident? Maybe he knows this isn't up to the people. Maybe its a done deal already regardless of what concerns we might have.
