Drones, Where is the Media on This
Indiscriminate Killing of Americans By the Obama Administration
Let me see if I have this right. The Obama justice dept. tried to prosecute members of the CIA for water boarding. Calling it torture. Now they defend and say it is ok to kill Americans with drone attacks overseas if they decide it is ok. They seem to have no problem with this. Even though the conditions and reasons for the justifications are about as clear as a bowl of cream of mushroom soup. What the heck is going on here? An administration that wanted to bring the residents of Guantanamo Bay Prison, who are not citizens and were caught on the battle field. To stand trial in the United States in civil court. Affording them all the rights of a U.S. citizens. Now says we can kill Americans with no due process. Interesting to be sure, hypocrisy to be doubly sure. Many Americans are fine with this. However at the risk of looking beyond the tip or our nose. What is next ? This is an administration that continues to rule with edicts rather than going through anything that would resemble going through the process. Executive orders and recess appointments seem to be the norm and not the exception. All in an effort to by-pass the congress.
Where are all those democrats and liberals that condemned and actually came out and called Bush a murderer ? You know, the protesters like Cindy Sheehan. That the media gave so much attention to as she desecrated her sons memory. What happened to the all the media attention and slogans like, "Clinton lied but nobody died". Placard carrying misfits, who were given attention whether their numbers protesting were two or hundred and two, crowd or no crowd. It is quite disturbing that all of a sudden they seem to have disappeared. Perhaps they were eliminated with drone attacks that we were not informed of, but the administration felt necessary to do. Under a pretext that they found not necessary to explain. Perhaps this is the true reason for Obama's efforts for strict gun control. Is this why the founding fathers were so particular to make sure the second amendment was included in the Bill of Rights ? It seems to me that as time goes on the reason is becoming more and more evident. For sure it was not to insure that everyone could shoot dinner.
