Panetta Says Drone Attacks Protect U.S. from Terrorists

11. I can't believe how anti-war everybody on this site is.

What is this 1969?

Shithead terrorists are still out there plotting more attacks against us and other countries, and plotting to take over their own countries. Which if they do that, then we would have even worse problems.

Pakistan can make the drone strikes stop, by stopping sheltering terrorists. They should get with the law enforcement program, to help end this shit.

I'm not going to criticize the United States for waging a war against an organized group of right-wing religious extremist militants who are determined to attack us and take over weak nation-states.

We collect intelligence over there as a matter of common sense. If the Army or the CIA learns information about active terrorists, it would be supremely negligent not to act on that information.

If it ever got leaked that the government had such info but failed to act on it, the American people would rightly be upset about it.

Sending drones is a lot better than sending people.
