No, I'm making the claim that when the location of individuals who are known enemies is known that targeting them by drone is a far better choice than invading/occupying the country where they're located in order to get at them?
Are you making the claim that manned aircraft don't "kill indiscriminately"?
This obsession people have with drones as if they're not under human control and act autonomously and kill more indiscriminately than manned aircraft is silly.
Who has made that claim? I didn't see anyone being obsessive about autonomy. Stretching the truth much?
More than 5000 people have been killed by executive order, using drones, including Americans.
Are you saying 5000 people deserved to be slaughtered?
Are you approving of completely ignoring due process for citizens?
Are you saying that it's better to murder Americans who are suspected of being terrorists, rather than capturing and trying them in court?
It sounds that way to many in here.
I'd bet you support the trade for Bergdahl as well.
You don't even have to capture them. You can try them in absentia.
Oh, okay.
So you support ignoring habeas corpus and legal representation.
Now I feel much better.

...and you don't have a clue how ridiculous you sound. I'd say you, and the few who might believe as you think they do, are about equal on the insanity scale.
And conservatives would prefer the full scale invasion/occupation of entire countries rather than targeting individuals who deserve it . The 'kill 'em all' philosophy is soooo much better for the MIC's coffers, eh?
Is this a tacit approval of Obama's drone wars, burdell?

I thought it was just an apologetic for the assassinations.
Invasions/occupations result in spending much more money on the products supplied by industries owned by conservatives. Our military is not designed for fighting WARS but as an excuse for endless corporate welfare.
Then why doesn't Obama bring the troops home? Is it because he's a conservative.

I just call it how I see it. You got conservatives crying about spending who want to spend to kill and destroy. You got conservatives who will say the sky is green if Obama says it blue.
Let's be honest, the issue with drones is that Obama is the one in charge.
