What's the problem? Would you rather we go to war with the entire armed forces for every just cause? Targeted covert operations save lives and money.

Torturing suspected terrorists without a trial is bad and Bush should be behind bars for war crimes. Killing suspected terrorists without a trial is good and Obama should get another 4 years in the White House.

Sweet, now we can take out 'bad' Americans on U.S. soil!

yeah.. cause.. you know. Sending Drones into non US airspace to kill it's citizens is the perfect way to avoid conflict.

Better yet, Sending Drones into downtown LA to kill someone that may be a terrorist...

Sorry guys my bad. I thought we were still on the birth certificate. I can't keep up with the conspiracies all the way over here in the real world.

OBAMA WANTS TO KILL WHITEY WITH SEAL TEAMS OH NO

1. If you are serious then.. my issue is that we are waging a war in a country undeclared. Pakistan has repeatedly asked us to STOP drone attacks and yet we continue. Not to mention that this is incredibly short sighted as the amount of foreign policy blowback this could create is huge. How would you feel if Mexico, in stepping up their war on drugs, decided to use armed drones over and beyond the border and proceeded to accidentally kill US civilians?

1. I think you're cherry picking on when and how you want our agencies to do what they see fit to further American interests. It's all politics! Have you always been this up in arms about the secret things that happen secretly when our secret government agencies are keeping secrets? No you haven't. It's an election year and everyone is fucking OFFENDEND ABOUT SOMETHING OMG. Please see my sig so that we may commiserate offendedly.

Of course I'm going to ramp up my efforts in an election year. BO needs to go and Mitt Romney is not the right choice to replace him. I would look at your sig but I have sigs disabled.

[diethx]

Why the fuck would you have sigs disabled?

Asshole.

[Androidpk]

Disabled them awhile ago, someone had an obnoxious GIF image in their sig and it was annoying.

And he has a sig... what a self-serving piece of shit.

If any US President appointed a head of the Assassination Department.. I think I would pretty much be against it.

Sure.. Secret GA's have always done these sorts of things. The difference is.. it was SECRET!!! Someone died of "Natural Causes" or had a heart attack/car accident -Poor Diana-

They didn't send a fucking drone to blow you away. Not exactly a secret that way is it?

You pretty much know someone in the US, and now we also know who, decided you had to die.

Mitt is a Tool, BO is an asshole.. and both Parties should be shot. yay election years.

Another 4 years and another nobel peace prize right??

The Pakistani people are against the drone program. The Pakistani government, not so much. After all, they get $2 billion in aid due to it.

Also, if you understand this all as the Pakistani military/intelligence community's obsession with having more strategic influence than India in Afghanistan, you'll understand there's no such thing as blowback in this scenario. Pakistani intelligence, specifically, has already covertly declared war against the US, because they believe the US presence in Afghanistan gives India room to operate. The drones are the US government's way of fighting back.

You're delusional if you think there isn't going to be any blowback. You don't think there is a chance that family members of those killed could be radicalized?

I initially thought this thread was about Obama appointing an assassination czar to protect him from assassination and thought, "Prudent move."

Doubt he's worried about that, you can't shoot the shooter! And yes, obscure reference is probably obscure.

[TheEschaton]

I think he's talking blowback on a political, global level.

Also, just to be clear, I am wholly against the U.S. killing people by drones, whether they're U.S. citizens or not. ;) Of course, I'm against killing people with other people too, so there's that.

Also, just to reiterate: I was against our actions in Libya. Remember, Back is retarded and isn't representative of the left's view on things, so picking on his views is equally retarded and like grabbing low hanging fruit.

You sure that he is not?

[TheEschaton]

I am 100% positive. Do you want me to start holding Wrathbringer accountable as the standard bearer for the Right?

[Back]

I would no sooner claim I was than claim you are the standard bearer of the conservatives. I've been over that whole thing long ago. We are all really shades of grey and overlap in more areas than we'd care to admit.

For example one thing we share in common is we are all just idiots who just like arguing on the internet.

I'm cool with that. Fuck crackers.

Terrorist bakery destroyed (http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2012/05/26/world/asia/ap-as-pakistan.html?_r=1&hp)


PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — An American drone fired two missiles at a bakery in northwest Pakistan Saturday and killed four suspected militants, officials said, as the U.S. pushed on with its drone campaign despite Pakistani demands to stop. This was the third such strike in the country in less than a week.


Drone strikes have become an increasingly contentious issue between Washington and Pakistan. Pakistan's parliament has demanded the U.S. end all attacks on its territory.

I asked Syed why they have terrorist bakeries in Pakistan. Then he begged me to stop bombing his mother. Then I was like MWAHAHAHA QUIT BEING A BROWN TERRORIST. Then Syed was like Americans are STOOPID that's why they have to go to Karachi to get good electrical engineers. He's not wrong.

Is this Syed a composite terrorist?

[4a6c1]

1) No he's a cinder cone terrorist.

2) No he's a prime terrorist.

3) Your mom.

As a perceived leftist I always was for Afghanistan and very against Iraq. Now that Osama is dead we can quit Afghanistan and bring our people home finally. In fact I'm not sure why we haven't yet.
