While the President dances, innocents mourn their dead, dead at the President's hand.

257. Please tell me what you would use to achieve "a more surgical, precise method"....

....of killing or incapacitating an enemy operative other than using a drone strike. Be precise, please. We've already ruled out cruise missiles, bombs, and artillery strikes because of the potential for high civilian casualties. Are you going to risk US military personnel in operations that may have to take place deep in hostile territory against highly mobile enemy operatives, operations that may require weeks or months of planning? What "surgical, more precise method" do you think we have at our disposal?

With all due respect to the "many experts" noted in your post, one could also argue that had it not been for a series of Al Qaeda attacks on US installations culminating in the events of 9-11 we would not be discussing this subject at all. Additionally, I would argue that millions of Americans became radicalized by watching the 9-11 attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. I would also argue that the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq would never have taken place had 9-11 not occurred.
