Do they follow F-16’s also?

They love small arms fire, artillery, and B-52 strikes as well! BTW, vultures aren’t typically "predators"", but scavengers, kinda’ like the NRA leadership, preying on the “brain dead”.
Don’t like the use of armed drones, unless backed up by on the ground Intel, as I’ve pointed out elsewhere, but saving lives, while taking a “minimum necessary” number of actual combatants is sound. BTW, those PLANNING attacks are just as much “combatants” as those in the field with the guns, IEDs, or bomb vests.

I think the point is that they follow the drones, because a drone strike means good eatin’.

So, Obama is a combatant as he took down Osama?

Conservatives are pissed because President Obama is turning out to be a bigger badass than GWB ever was.

All drone strikes somehow only attack weddings (or so the taliban claim). The bride/goat would make good eating as Russell pointed out.

Yes, Tigger, but despite your warped view, he’s on OUR side. Which by the way, Viet Nam did lead to a lot of happy, older, slower, tigers, battlefield “lunch”.

@Mr. King
‘..and the drone commenters drone on and on.’
And so they should. Just because Obama is a fan and you might like Obama doesn’t mean you have to defend it.
Unless… Are you for the drone attacks, too?

Fly the friendly skies?

That’s actually a good idea. I remember people using ultra-lights to teach young birds flying and guide them on their migratory paths. A drone could do that as well and be a more natural “mummy” to the poor geese and what not…

If I remember correctly some "drones” flew several aircraft full of innocent people into several buildings full of more innocent people on 9/11. Where’s your incensed commentary on that action?
