Americans should be worried about the precedents we have set. I look forward to the day a drone swoops down over the CIA head quarters in McClean VA or Adelphi MD and zaps an American terrorist like the head or the CIA, or Head of the NSA. What flys around sometimes comes around!

I agree with the principle that what flies around sometimes comes around. UAVs are relatively new technological development. Like the internet when it was first created, it was used by government entities exclusively. However, by the 1980s the internet gained more public use, and by the advent of the World Wide Web in 1993, the internet boomed due to the ease of access for the general public.

The same thing will be true for UAVs. Currently they are primarily used by government entities, and as technology improves and the price comes down, more and more civilians will find uses for UAVs.

I hope it's you and yours who get wiped out. What goes around comes around.

I never said they did although Grenada comes to mind.

You alleged " mainstream media covers for Obama ", I merely aid you righties never had a problem when the MSM was covering for Reagan, which it certainly did. he wasn't called the 'Teflon President' for nothing, eh?

But your RW hypocrisy is duly noted.

What alternate reality did you come from? The mainstream media never covered for Reagan. Just the opposite. They were critical of every action Reagan took. Reagan was called the "teflon president" because no matter how many scandals the mainstream manufactured against Reagan, none of them stuck. Even under the Iran/Contra scandal Reagan was completely exonerated by IC Walsh.

The Democrats, and their mainstream media lap-dogs, did their best to try to find something, anything, to impeach Reagan, and failed miserably. Your deliberate lies are duly noted, and fully expected.

Yet another fine example of completely dishonorable liberal freaks attempting to revise history. Thanks for the demonstration.

No concern? Your so VERY wrong that it is pathetic! You have absolutely NO CLUE for the order it takes to give permission to release a weapon from a drone! Please refrain from a subject that you obviously have no clue about!

Actually the Germans did during WWII
