Did you know that the United States government is using drones to
kill innocent people in Pakistan? Did you know that the Pakistani
government has asked President Obama to stop it and he won't? Did you
know that Pakistan is a sovereign country that has nuclear weapons and
is an American ally?
Last week, the Obama administration not only acknowledged the use of
the drones; it also revealed that it has plans to increase the frequency
and ferocity of the attacks. White House counterterrorism adviser John
O. Brennan argued that these attacks are "in full accordance with the
law" and are not likely to be stopped anytime soon.
Brennan declined to say how many people were killed or just where the
killings took place or who is doing it. But we know that Obama has a
morbid fascination with his plastic killing machines, and we know that
these machines are among the favored tools of the CIA. We also know that
if the president had been using the military to do this, he'd be
legally compelled to reveal it to Congress and eventually to seek
permission.

Did you know that we have given $22.5 billion to pakistan in aid since 2001? Did you know that from 2006-2011, they hid and aided Osama Bin Laden?
Yes, unlawfully sending drones into pakistan is definitely wrong, but its not as simple as civilians being killed. Its Uzbek and Tajik militants, not civilians. Regardless, we shouldnt be doing it.
That said, none of this is worse than President Bush unconstitutionally starting a war in the first place, leading to over a million civilian deaths.
Congress approved Bush's wars, even the american people approved(at one point of course) All presidents are guilty of the same!
Bush did right.if I was president I would've just nuked them.no wars no big expenses.just death.the way they like it.
No president is as guilty as obama.matter of fact....as far as presidents and them doing goofed up things...obama makes them all look like 1st graders.
