“Because this president [Obama], in my opinion, has fundamentally undermined our ability to defend this nation by killing terrorists rather than capturing them and taking them to an intelligence facility like Guantanamo Bay and learning how these groups operate,” Lippold added. “And while the program appears on the face to have had great success, I think ultimately the drone program is setting us up for failure because for each high-level terrorist you kill, that is a high-level intelligence asset that is no longer available to exploit.”
“When it comes to defense, I think Rand Paul is representing a new form of Republican leadership that is basically looking at what are — that really asks — the hard question: What are our national security interests in getting engaged in any nation, and what is the best way to go about doing it?” Lippold said.

Why the Outrage ?
You think all those Bombs dropped on Iraq, killed only Bad People?
Grow up for Christ Sake, using your Fake Outrage for Civilians, for a Shot at the POTUS, is Disgusting.

So where did the OP say it was OK to bomb Iraq????
Considering Obama got a Nobel peace prize, I would say that any outrage over him continuing the same policies of Bush should be enough????
But continue,,,,it is a comedy to watch the defenders of the current POTUS, make him look like the criminal he really is!

Because I look at the Bigger Picture, and dont join your Circle Group, you call me a troll.
My point in this thread, is that REGARDLESS of who sits in the WH..Drones are here to Stay.

That bit was funny! He disagrees with drone program because he'd rather see targets captured, sent to secret prisons and tortured for information!

Thanks but no thanks for your desperate attempt to sideline this major issue.
I was against drone warfare and killing innocent civilians before Obama was even elected, it is not a political ideology, it is common decency.
I think the one that needs to 'grow up' here, is you.edit on 11-4-2013 by eLPresidente because: (no reason given)

Bush Docterine...Pick a country...Bomb...bomb some more....invade...occupy.
Obama Docterine...Target leaders of terrorist organizations plotting to attack US civilians.
Which do you think has cost fewer civilian deaths?
Fewer American deaths...boots on the ground or drones?
Who found Osama Bin Laden?
Just sayin.......In a dangerous world I pick the Obama Docterine...where terrorists get killed vs. countires obliterated and occupied.
