Amazing how “disturbed” the right is now that Obama is continuing, with more restrictions on their use, programs “W” relished. I don’t like the use of drones, generally, as weapons, but if used to save lives, I can see their usefulness..
Example: If a sniper on the ground fires a round, he is exposed, and in danger. If that same “person” observes a proper target, calls in a drone to take it out, and then quietly leaves the area, we have confirmation of target with real “Eyes on”, yet the intelligence gatherer, can now safely depart the area.
IN the “Bush era”, drones were often randomly, and without target confirmation, firing weapons and causing lots of “collateral damage”.
I don’t want to see drones on the domestic scene, but overseas, if a traitor is calling for attacks on Americans, I call him a “target”, who has forfeited any “Constitutional rights”.
@ Michael wmeYou are advocating using tactical nuclear weapons in Dallas!! While Dallas may deserve it i don’t think using tactical nuclear weapons anywhere is very advisable.
