If Bush did this, the internet would be losing its mind right now.
Well, the Internet reaction to Obama's national security policies seems to be a collective sigh.
But Al-Qaeda's second-in-command was caught!!!! How can this be wrong?
Not to mention Al-Awlaki. Here's a question to the people who are against drones so much: how would you have gotten Al-Awlaki and the Al-Qaeda second-in-command, knowing that you can't go in there and arrest him, and knowing that they are responsible for many deadly attacks and attempted attacks on US soil?
Now don't get me wrong, I oppose this. But I don't oppose using drones in general.
Well considering our intrusion within the middle eat is what led to those attacks on Us soil in the first place...... So instead of learning from our double edged policies of the past we use drone attacks and completely ignore the the civilian causalities because we're America. From our bases on Saudi Arabi, To our bombings of Iraq, To our overthrow of Iranian Governments, To our arming of the Afgan resistance, to our drone attacks on Pakistan.... And people still believe we get attacked because we're free and a symbol of democracy.
