Discuss among yourselves.

Drone-gate? (froth-froth-gnash-gnash)
So would you rather wait until they are back on US soil and ready to strike before they are taken out?

I think it's more about highlighting the hypocrisy of the "torture" outrage on the left. In one senario we were able to get necessary intel to get Bin Laden, in the other senario, no intel was possible and waterboarding was replaced with death.

Why isn't the GOP celebrating these drone attacks, it must be much cheaper to kill a terrorist with a drone attack then to hunt him down and capture or kill him with a Navy SEAL team. Isn't it all about the cost?

Intel is worth more than a "we killed Bin Laden" celebration.

What ever happened to all the hard drives and that other Intel from OBL's compound?
I never thought intel gained from torture should be relied on that much. I don't have a problem with a drone strike over sending in troops if the intel payoff is minimal. But it's not really about torture, but about the killing of americans (small a) that have directly plotted against us. The other one learned that you shouldn't be hanging out with foreign terrorists. Due process, schmocess. When you take up arms and/or advocate for or assist with planning or actually executing attacks on Americans, you've given up your citizenship and all constitutional rights that went with it.
IMO

Actually while there are anti-Obama Republicans who are attacking drones. The more credible opponents of drones are Lefties who love Barack but hate this policy. Quite angry they are and think the administration is being too heavy handed in other countries. Would you like it if Mexico had armed drones destroying the homes of suspected Mexican drug dealers in Colorado?

Gee, Timothy McVeigh killed 168....

Gee, Timothy McVeigh killed 168....

How is that relevant to the topic of this thread?

Give Obama a chance... he'll catch up eventually. I can't wait to see the celebration.
