- Whether debating drone attacks or target acquisition by conventional aircraft, the issue is precision of target identification and munitions delivery.

No, that is off topic.
The issue here is drones. Just drones.
mljohns00 raised the objection that Obama is continuing the Bush policy of using drones in Pakistan, now that Obama's weakness has emboldened the terrorists and Obama has now unwon the war in Afghanistan, which has now spread to Pakistan because of Obama's weakness.
The objection is that drones cause civilian casualties.
So who is to blame? Obama, because he's the one in charge of ordering these civilian casualties?
Or will they blame Bush because he "started it," as if Obama is powerless to stop the use of drones???
I notice that the usual liberal posters are curiously silent on the culpability of Obama, who continues getting Pakistani blood on his hands as he has since Week 1.
And here you are desperately trying to change the subject.
LOL! What an obvious attempt to divert attention from the fact that Obama is a total failure and a clueless incompetent.
Obama is looking more and more like Bush every day. Every time he does something right, it's because he agrees with Bush about something. - Reply to this comment

- We did get our positions straight. Afghanistan is the War Bush failed at when he dropped the ball by invading and failing in Iraq for no reason. Does that help clear it up for you?
Once you recognize Republican failure, it all falls into place. - Reply to this comment
- War mongering when done by a Lib = "A-OK" Fine and Dandy
War fighting when done by a Conservative = Unnecessary Illegal wars

- Wait, attacking a sovereign country in which the country is no direct threat to the U.S. ? Do I smell hypocrasy here ?
Ohhhh, chasing Al Qeada gives you "justification".....well destroying the middle-east's brutal dictator's regime was "justification" as well - Reply to this comment
- Obama didn't have any successful military operations.....a couple trained seals took a few head-shots at teenager pirates...that's it....so now killing a couple teenager pirates is a "Military Success" for you libs ??? Destroying the 5th largest army (Iraq) and the U.S. defeating Nazi Germany in WW2 are examples of military successes.....not taking out 2 thugs....get real already

- **U.S. Drones Have al Qaeda On the Run**
BullSh*ite! This is the same lie as *There is light at the end of the tunnel* and "We have turned the corner in Vietnam.*
The same lies worked for Robert McNamara and William Westmoreland. The sheepeople are falling for them again today.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are waged for the benefit of
THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX and for no other reason.

- I love the democratic propaganda that the US simply invaded Iraq for the oil...stupid liberals don't seem to understand that if we had ONLY wanted the Iraqi oil, we'd have it, period. Especially since almost every democrat in Congress voted to go to Iraq, including the democratic MAJORITY held in the Senate in 2001...LMAO! They couldn't NOT vote to go to Iraq, when they had been screeching for 8 years that Saddam needed to be removed because he was training terrorists, paying terrorists to strap on bombs and blow people up, and shopping for nuclear materials...

Proof you can lead a far right wing-nut to the truth but you can't make them think.
They are people who are so self-righteous, so ill-informed, and so dogmatic that nothing you can say or do will change their minds.
Madness and Shame
By BOB HERBERT
You want a scary thought? Imagine a fanatic in the mold of Dick Cheney but without the vice president?s sense of humor.
In her important new book, ?The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals,? Jane Mayer of The New Yorker devotes a great deal of space to David Addington, Dick Cheney?s main man and the lead architect of the Bush administration?s legal strategy for the so-called war on terror.
She quotes a colleague as saying of Mr. Addington: ?No one stood to his right.? Colin Powell, a veteran of many bruising battles with Mr. Cheney, was reported to have summed up Mr. Addington as follows: ?He doesn?t believe in the Constitution.?

It might have been the case, if we elected the bomber pilot, but instead you irresponsibly elected a totally unqualified community organizer to the position of President, so there will be no wiping of anything.....just empty talks, diplomacy-only, appeasement, negotiations, sanctions, and other weak liberal ideas of how enemies are dealt with.
Tell it to the Somali pirates.
Obama's successful military operations: ONE
Bush's successful military operations: ZERO - Reply to this comment
