Murdering Americans
This is beyond disgusting and criminal.

American drones have probably killed dozens of innocent pakistan citizens caught up in the taliban-pakistan border war, are their lives worth less than an American?
-
Criminals are criminals. Does it matter where they're living?

Scare tactic site is scaring the right wing, just as its designed too. Nothing to see here folks, Carry on.

4 RepliesSure, it's not disgusting and criminal to kill other people from other countries, but this hypothetical situation is. Hypocrites. Hypocrites everywhere.
-
4 RepliesMeh. I mean, if lethal force is authorized... The thing is here, is that it's completely hypothetical. They said only in extreme scenarios. Besides, it's not like they're just going to randomly bomb people, it'd be with good reason (I hope). Besides, if murdering Americans is the problem, do you have a problem with SWAT teams and police using lethal force to subdue a known criminal? They said it wouldn't be used just on some "suspect." They'd have to have concrete evidence.

1 Replyso ur implying that killing americans is somehow worse then calling someone of another nationality

4 RepliesI'm fine with it, as long as, like the man said, it is extreme circumstances, and there is little to no risk of collateral damage.
-
2 RepliesSensational thread title is sensational. The problem I have with this is that they define the strikes as only being pursued under "extreme circumstances", yet vaguely define what these circumstance would be.

6 RepliesOrder a drone to kill someone overseas ... fine. Send in a drone to kill allied forces ... oopsie, our bad. Use these same tools in our back yard ... shock ?!? Honestly, America has always been a thug. - N.Korea, you cant have nukes, can anyone count how many America has? - China, you cant threaten disputed territory, but America can assist in the overthrow of another (not even theirs)? - [url=http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Documents/cuba.pdf]Does the US hold a grudge[/url], yep economic sactions from 50 years ago against Cuba. (rule - you mess with US, we dont forget ... unless [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negroponte_doctrine]we favour you, then never can you do wrong[/url])

Honest to god, I don't know what the hell has happened. Someone explain?
-
Quit dramatizing things. They're talking threat level red national security scenarios right here, as if the country was under attack and they had literally no choice. It's not "disgusting" or "criminal," it's common friggin' sense.
-
far more disgusting and criminal in my opinion.

1 ReplyHow is using a drone to kill someone in one part of the world so much worse than using a drone to kill people at another part of the world?

Well I mean if they deserve it, or there's like an invasion or something and we want to stop it ASAP.

Edit: Also, there are members on both parties being cool with it. Also, the link title is too misleading. Obama =/= Holden.
