He's acknowledging civilian tragedies (which is like 95% from all drone strikes) but he doesn't care.
He's rationalizing it for the liberals.
Warlord

Special operations are risky so lets send in a drone!
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:27 PM
WOW... He thinks drone strikes make it LESS LIKELY Americans are to be killed when it's the exact opposite.
'we can keep pounding those ragheads without any blowback!'
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:29 PM
HAHAHAHAHA.... "strong oversight of all lethal action".
So it's fine because those in Congress get briefed... who cares if we kill 50 tribal elders.
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:31 PM
He's addressing Rand now!
'I dont believe its constitutional..."
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:31 PM
He's lying about al-Awaki now... give him a trial. These are just accusations.
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:32 PM
WHAT ABOUT HIS SON MR. PRESIDENT?
He forgot about him.

And what about Anwar's son? Oh, conveniently leaving him out I see.

Waterboarding of terror suspects is torture and wrong.
Drone killing of terror suspects (with 2% accuracy, many civilians) is right.
Did Obama puppet masters go to school for idiots?
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:34 PM
Here's an idea Mr. President: STOP YOUR ILLEGAL DRONE STRIKES
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:36 PM
HAHAHAHA... He says what he's doing BRINGS PEACE!
Car bombs every day in Iraq, Libya, etc. is PEACE!
WAR IS PEACE!
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:37 PM
Now he's demanding more money!
Foreign aid !
UpperDecker
05-23-2013, 12:37 PM
Boo this man!
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:38 PM
He's really trying to push back against Rand here.
"Foreign aid is tiny fraction of the budget..."

Intervention intervention intervention intervention!
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:39 PM
He wants more money for security... $70bn state department budget isnt enough
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:40 PM
He's got this "exactly backwards" as Rand would say.
All this does not make attacks on America less likely or Americans safer abroad.
Oh now... he hates the internet.
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:45 PM
Now he's talking about the AUMF... he probably wants an expansive version.
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:46 PM
"we maybe drawn into more wars we dont want to fight"
Schucks.. Poor America getting dragged into conflicts.
He says he WONT sign an expanded version of AUMF... I wonder what he has in mind.
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:47 PM
Now he's talking about GITMO and complaining that it's still open... he could close it tomorrow. President's power is unlimited when it comes to pardons and prosecutions.
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:48 PM
Oooh Congress has IMPOSED restrictions on him he claims.
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:49 PM
Shouting!
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:54 PM
More shouting about Awaki's son I think.
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:55 PM
she's ranting but too far away from microphone.
OBAMA: I'm going off script here...
They CLAPPED !
UpperDecker
05-23-2013, 12:56 PM
I wish I could hear what she was yelling :/

She mentioned the sixteen year old Obama killed, signature strikes, and the Rule of Law.
Something along those lines. Mentioned everything Obama didn't.

Someone should mention collateral damage ratios, as well.
Warlord
05-23-2013, 12:58 PM
Now he's paying lip service to Muslims while bombing them
Warlord
05-23-2013, 01:00 PM
Now he's wrapping it all neatly in the flag.
FOR FREEDOM!
FREEDOM TO BOMB!
Warlord
05-23-2013, 01:07 PM
That's good...

A war criminal justifies his crimes against humanity. Big surprise.
Here's some sanity:
