Obama's kill list

Quite a while. They would have to launch from Mexico or Canada and probably couldn't get too far before we blow them out of the air.

Yeah, I don't see Canada facilitating any of that what with them being part of NORAD. The drug cartels are smarter than trying to do something like that, that would be mean retaliatory action. Notice how the Mexican drug violence always stops at the border?

Too bad we can't win the war on drugs using this "blow them out of the air" technology.

I have little problem with Obama using drone strikes on terrorists. I think it is hypocritical when people get all wound up and blood thirsty over potential war with Iran and then bitch about drones being used in Somalia, Yemen and Pakistan,
Ted, don't you realize by now the war of drugs is stupid and can't be won?

behold the blessings of living in a promised land, even a land that is choice above all other lands.

serisously though, the graphic Uncle Ted put up is very troubling, especially the comparison between the number of drone attacks carried out in the 8 years of the Bush presidency and those under Obama.

It isn't difficult to interpret that as proof that Obama is an evil man, but I have to wonder why the drastic increase? Is it because drone technology wasn't as good during Bush's tenure, thus making it an ineffective choice, or is it really because Obama prefers this type of secretive warfare that allows him to preserve the facade of a Nobel Peace Prize winner? That number alone, if accurate, makes my stomach sink.
