Really?
The Bush administration authorized the shooting down of airliners on 9/11 if necessary.
Please cite examples of the left going insane over that circumstance.
Why am I not surprised...especially coming from this gun-running thug in a suit? Maybe he'll start sending drones to Mexico so that they can more easily smuggle drugs across the border too.
What part of 'extraordinary circumstance' is it that cause you so much difficulty?
Do you believe the Bush administration should not have authorized the shoot down of airliners on 9/11 if necessary?
Look at the things Fox news has you all focusing on.
Drones that can attack targets are a new weapon just developed by the US military, and laws have to be made for them. The US government already has the right to kill US civilians with missiles and machine guns, from (manned) airplanes and helicopters. And US Military and Police Officials already have the right to kill US civilians with a guns.
Are you really against Americas military and police having the best weapons to do their job?
Obama did not wake up one mourning and say "I want to be able to kill US civilians with drones." He was approached by the US Military, FBI, and Policing agencies. There might come a day when a dangerous US citizen or group, is threatening other Americans lives, and Americas Military and Police want to be able to use drones to stop them if needed. And drones will make Americas Military and Police be much safer while they do their jobs.
Americas Military and Policing agencies want to be able to use drones to keep us safe, do you really want to tell them they can't use drones ?
The following link goes to PBS Nova. There's a episode called "Rise of the Drones." It explains drones its a great episode. Chances are that in the future, drones will replace most manned Military attack aircraft, and Americas Police will be using them too.
I really wish you would read the Constitution. Then you might understand that with the exception of law enforcement fearing for their own lives or the lives of others, at all times the government MUST give due process to Americans. The government is NOT allowed to execute or murder people. We NEVER gave them that authority. NEVER!
