So now we blame GWB for Obama's foreign policy? Is that where you're going with this? That GWB used drones occasionally, so Obama is free and clear from the liberal standpoint?
Who said anything about "blame"? GWB was absolutely correct to commit to war against Al Qaida. And yes, it meant that women and children would, at some point, be killed. That's how wars work. If the Taliban didn't want that to happen, they should have joined us in fighting Bin Laden.
There are old hippie liberals here in Atlanta that protest every day about drones, even when it is not in the news. It is a constant topic on "liberal media."
Like I stated in another thread - you must not listen to true liberal media. CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and other major networks are not as liberal as you think.
In liberal media they are ALWAYS complaining about Obama, especially his use of drones and the NSA spying. If you listened to true liberal media, you would probably realize you are more liberal than you think.

But yet you can't ascribe that same mentality to Syria? Why not? AQ is in Syria as well, but weren't liberals decrying that particular "war?" Didn't liberals force this President to narrow the scope and scale of the proposed attacks down to something no more than a pinpointed strike? Couldn't AQ have been defeated in Syria as well as the Bashar regime? Why all of a sudden the disinterest in AQ?

Oh I listen to liberal media FAR more than I listen to conservative media. I've not listened to no more than 15-20 minutes of Limbaugh or other conservative talk radio hosts in my ENTIRE LIFE. However, I have tuned into a number of talk radio and TV stations that push liberal viewpoints. Why? Because I already know what conservatives think. I want to know what the enemy (yes, enemy) liberals are saying.
So, throw your faulty assumptions in the trash, where they belong.
Oh, and by the way, drones hardly ever come up. For the amount of liberal media that I read and listen to, I would have heard those discussions, and they're nearly non-existent.

I support targeted strikes on those KNOWN to be involved with plotting attacks on the US, whether by drone or manned aircraft, there's really no difference. I don't support meaningless involvement in an other country's civil war having little/no upside for the US.
US foreign policy has been a clusterf**k for more than 50 years. Now, just WHAT is it you're whining about other than just posting another baseless "I hate Obama" whine?

We let 'them' be to kill women and children in places like N Korea and various African countries, what makes Syria any different?
