Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s book “Double Down: Game Change 2012” notes President Obama commenting on drone strikes, reportedly telling his aides that he’s “really good at killing people.” So I wonder how it feels to be good at killing innocent people. Then again he has a new blond white woman to frolic around with so I suspect he doesn't think about this much at all:

"(Reuters) - Fifteen people on their way to a wedding in Yemen were killed in an air strike after their party was mistaken for an al Qaeda convoy, local security officials said on Thursday."

I guess after taking full responsibility about killing bin Laden, maybe it got into his psyche and he thinks how it makes him into a macho man. Maybe he is trying to compete with Putin to see who has the bigger wiener. Obama really has to learn to stop bragging about certain things.

Can you please learn to stop posting? Permanently?

I have to admit that I'm far from reluctant for us to exert our muscle around the world but I'm still amazed that we can go drop bombs on people in so many countries in the world without there being any kind of war going on to 'justify' us doing it and apparently without any of our friends telling us to stop.

I thought the first time Clinton flew a drone into Iraq he was getting a little reckless (as it turns out his aim was) but at least he had some justifiable cease fire violations to fall back on. Later, when GW Bush sent some into Pakistan, where we technically had no legal or even moral ground to stand on, I thought he was going to be burned at the stake for it. Instead all that happened was a few people 'unliked' us on Facebook and a few French and Belgians kind of winced a bit...

Either the world is a much crazier place than I grew up thinking it was...far fewer people who hold sovereignty of nations as sacrosanct... Or, we are really killing a lot of terrible scary people so they are turning a blind eye toward our otherwise outrageous policy.

That quote has been around for a long time woodchip, heard it years ago. It's completely true. Lots of people have been killed during Obama's tenure. He could probably be a little less cavalier about it, but then your side would attack him for being weak or something.

Will, I don't think anyone says a word because they know the US could just as easily point that drone in their direction! I wonder how this country would react if China had drones over our airspace and occasionally dropped a bomb on a wedding party. I'm thinking there wouldn't be many fans of China.

I’d like to see them try…
