and dangerous these outlaw tactics were. Too bad he only began to do so when it has become apparent that other countries can now do what we do, maybe even aim one of these deadly, cowardly weapons at a shopping mall in the US.
What is so apparent and disturbing is that we have extremely stupid, immoral, unethical people being elected and appointed to powerful positions that determine who lives and who dies in this country.
Even more disturbing is that while Bush was in office and we first learned about these weaponized drones he wanted to use, the Left was appalled and spoke out against them. But when the program escalated under Obama, some on the Left tried to make arguments FOR them.
What I have learned, sadly over the past decade is that partisanship, as Jefferson et al once observed, is a very dangerous thing. Those drones were wrong when Bush introduced and they remained wrong when Obama continued and against all the demands to stop their use from around the world, escalated their use. That was just plain WRONG! A lot of people have died, many of them children, over the past five years. Nothing can now change that.
Frankly I am sick of 'politics'. I am sick of the worst crimes against humanity being excused and ignored based on who is committing and/or condoning them. When something is wrong it is wrong, period!
Where was our Government during all this killing in our name by these rogue elements? How did money pass into their hands without the knowledge of Congress? Democrats??? Anyone awake in DC?
I guess it's a first step to reign in our army of murderous mercenaries, but it's a bit late for those who are dead and it doesn't look like the program is being abandoned, just handed over the Pentagon, which doesn't give me much hope that it won't continue.
