Self-explanatory. How is the Nobel peace prize winner working out for you?

Is this something to celebrate? How many innocents? Or does the Official Obamatron Drone Count assume no innocents were killed by Messiah Barack's Magical Touch?

What's your point? I can put two spins on that graphic:

Obama is clearly far more dedicated to eliminating terrorists than George W. Bush ever was. He beat Bush's entire record in one year for drone strikes.

or

Obama is clearly only interested in drone strikes against people in sovereign nations we have not declared war in, and also has no qualms with murdering US citizens instead of taking them to trial.

It's fun to pretend you're the media!

I actually have no problem with the military taking out the bad guys. What I have a problem with is the hypocrisy of the swooners who think it's good when obama does this but bad when bush did this. I guess when your told for eight years bush=bad it's hard to break that habit. The swooners also wonder why Pakistan gets upset when we attack inside their borders without letting them know. Now of course it's because elements of the paki govt are sympathetic to the taliban but again the left is just lost in this entire thing.

Lol, that's right kids, Obama's gonna get you with his army of flying robots. He controls all of them from his desk with a little joystick.

It couldn't POSSIBLY be the Military streamlining it's deployment away from big dumb cavalier ground wars to special ops and drone combat. NO THAT COULDN'T BE THE REASON AT ALL. God forbid we spare some American lives if Monstrous military industrial complex still gets the **** load of cash it doesn't deserve.

I was disgusted with Bush doing this, and supported Obama in 2008 to _stop_ this. So I am a member of the species which is rapidly nearing extinction who feels that the drone strikes are as unwarranted now as they were back then, and think these hurt our national security more than help, because for every "terrorist" we kill, we breed more terrorists from amongst his friends and family, thus creating a never-ending vicious cycle.

Good for you. At least you stick to your guns, so to say, even though you are completely wrong. LOL
