What is with this inane obsession people have with drones? How are they any more devastating (to the enemy)than 'smart' bombs, bunker busters, non-remtely piloted fighters launching missiles at specific targets, cruise missiles, etc., etc., etc.?
Once again you are delibrately missrepresenting the facts. You said that the majority killed were civilians when both your links show that the majority were militants. Get your facts straight.
Triviality. I said "most" and should have said "many." Why are you focusing on this when in fact the point is that liberals are hypocrites and liars when it comes to holding this President accountable? Why won't you rebut thatfact?

Why won't you rebuke the fact that the right had no problem with drones or deaths when Bush was in charge but all of a sudden you and them show outrage when Obama uses them?

Good question. Maybe it's because they kill and return to rearm and refuel for more but you are right.
Maybe I've watched "The Terminator" too many times.
Again, I think they are great used in the right way. Something I highly doubt will happen.
There are times I'm embarrassed for my fellow lefties. This is a prime example. Aren't you ashamed? You should be. And if you find it morally offensive and say nothing, you should also be ashamed.
Not really, I believe in a liberal use of sef defense. I'm for it just as long as they shoot at the right guys, you know, right wing nutjobs, terrorisut and certified evil doers. Of all shades of political opinion, Liberals are one of the shadiest (Phil Ochs).

A liberal in the US is a conservative in most industrialized or developing countries.
