I really don't understand why Republicans haven't been more forceful in attacking Barack Obama for carrying out drone attack assassinations on anyone, including U.S. citizens. I guess that it is probably because they really don't have a problem with him killing foreigners, don't have a problem with him killing American citizens who are Muslim, and don't have a problem with him killing U.S. citizens who they perceive as threats to them or this nation. However, since they could plausibly be targets, I would think they might take up a good bit of issue with the program. It turns out that it isn't near as much opposition as I would expect.
I am disgusted by the whole program. It is cowardly for us to hide behind the drones to attack our "enemies," who often just want the foreign invaders to get the fuck out of their country. The fact that our military, CIA or government contractors act as judge and jury on folks half way around the world from us. They are not a threat to this country, and are only a threat to the soldiers we have sent to invade these folks' countries. Barack Obama has been a better president than any available Republican would have been, but he's fucked a lot of things up. This is one of his biggest fuckups. The fact that Republicans haven't been bigger critics of the program is one of the biggest failures of that continuously failing party.
Fascinating how liberal wacko's could stretch even this topic into an attack on Republicans. It is odd that Republicans were punished so fiercely by Democrats over their defense of waterboarding but this administration thinks it is ok to kill from the sky half way around the world. Where are the calls to have Obama tried for war crimes like Bush and Cheney? History will judge our recently coronated President but my bet is he will be viewed as the worst in history.
ReplyDeleteHe is not as bad as Bush, but is a war criminal. Read the post label jackass. Where is the Republican opposition?
