To those who say drones and B-52's are indistinguishable, a question.

30. I don't think we have attacked or based drones anywhere that we did not have permission too.

Now, if that is wrong or right, there is not a black and white answer. The problem is the "normalization" of drones, which means at some point, it will spiral out of control.

And yes, the ISI feeds us the intelligence when we strike inside of Pakistan. The Yemeni government supports our new war there. We actually have/had bases that there are pictures of inside Pakistan that their government allowed, and then played to their people that they had no idea what was going on.

As far as I know, a done strike is preferred over a B-52. The problem is oversight. Who gets to draw up these death-lists? Who is watching the person who is drawing them up? Who is watching that person?



We have created a drone-race with China, Russia, and Iran, all copying our designs. We are 10+ years ahead, and now testing drones that can land on carriers. Who knows what we have at Groom Lake right now?

I am not worried about the NOW as much as I am about the future. Obama is not going to drone you for downloading S2E3 of Dexter. But as well all know, once the Genie is out of the bottle........
