Obama Breaks The Golden Rule On Drones


One day after his re-election President Obama ordered yet another drone strike in Yemen, killing an alleged al-Qaeda operative. In the process, our nation's moral standing in the world was further downgraded.

Family members of the man killed are outraged and bewildered, wondering why their loved one was sentenced to death from above, rather than arrested and put on trial. They say that while Adnan al-Qadhi may have held an extremist ideology and may have lent some low-level support to al-Qaeda, he was not actively engaged in any terrorist activities. Relatives say the drone strike was a complete shock and that al-Qadhi could have easily been arrested, and, had he known he was being targeted, then he would have cooperated with authorities.

Want a trial? Stay here in the US and talk your anti-America crud. Want to travel overseas to join your terrorists comrades? Well you'll get blown up right along side those same comrades.

Whatever happened to the policy of arresting and interrogating to get info of enemies' proposed moves?

3:13-According to Obama,that would equate to lowering ourselves to their level.Technology has all but eliminated the need for arresting and interrogating.I'm with 1:08 completely.

Two completely opposite opinions above. Perfect example.

If Obama reads both opinions, and disagrees with one, which one of you will be happy to be killed from above along with a few of your nearby friends and family in a drone attack?

Any volunteers?

So, who is wrong now?

Then you're BOTH IDIOTS!

Each time obammy is allowed to kill ANYBODY without a trial, or other means to PROVE he is guilty of some crime that is deserving of death, that is closer he is to doing it to us.

Would you two care then?

Would it be too late?
