I like drones. Having someone loking out for me makes me feel safe from terrorists.

Drones are not the best policy. But they are far better than starting ground wars and getting over 4000 American soldiers killed in the process.

They are definitely good policy for skirting "no boots on the ground" war power acts when you want to militarily intervene in certain UAE countries and N. Africa.

The real question is why are you all of the sudden defending the continuance Cheney's policies?

How's Guantanamo working out for you?

80% of US deaths in afghanistan occurred in the last 4 years.

You guys are really sick in your defense of Bush 3.0

I bet once upon a time you opposed the wars, but with the party change you now defend them.

Shall we check your post history for a change of heart?

One war ended. Bin laden killed. The remaining war will end next year. Ending wars is better than starting wars, don't you agree?
