Default Obama Plans for 10 More Years of Extrajudicial Killing by Drone
Obama Plans for 10 More Years of Extrajudicial Killing by Drone


http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/...-drone/264034/


Reports are that he has killed 3000 via drones (per FNC report).

Remember, this has never been debated through Congress or in the press. It was an Executive decision alone.

If President Bush were ordering drone strikes or Senator McCain had been elected you would be praising him (and Democrats would be condemning it).

That's why we need Romney as president. He can then carry on the drone strikes and conservatives will be all for it or at least we'll be silent.

The only thing that will change with a Romney presidency is our reason to embrace tyranny. We all want the tyrant to be one of us instead of one of them. That's all.

It doesn't require any conspiracy theorizing to see what's happening here. Indeed, it takes extreme naiveté, or wilful blindness, not to see it.

What has been created here - permanently institutionalized - is a highly secretive executive branch agency that simultaneously engages in two functions: (1) it collects and analyzes massive amounts of surveillance data about all Americans without any judicial review let alone search warrants, and (2) creates and implements a "matrix" that determines the "disposition" of suspects, up to and including execution, without a whiff of due process or oversight. It is simultaneously a surveillance state and a secretive, unaccountable judicial body that analyzes who you are and then decrees what should be done with you, how you should be "disposed" of, beyond the reach of any minimal accountability or transparency.

Welcome to Amerika. That's all I wanted to say. Okay carry on with your willful blindness.

This just shows an inconsistency in the obama regime. Armed drones would have definitely helped in the Benghazi attacks that lasted 7 hours and might have spared American lives.

Obviously, though, to your point, poncho, Congress considers Americans the "enemy" since they passed the bill for 30,000 drones to fly over us in American skies. And, yes, RINOs (like my 2 senators) voted to pass the bill which contained this, something that could have been amended out.
