Ted Rall for February 18, 2013

Golly aren’t you just the smart one. Thanks for informing all us dumbys.

Rall definitely has the second panel all wrong. Fundamentalist Muslims are creationists, too.

Forget your “international law!” We have this little thing called the Constitution. We have our own law…we’re a country. The president shouldn’t have the power to kill someone. That’s the power a king has. “Off with his head,” a wicked king would say. Not much different than, “Send in a drone,” except for the collateral damage.

There will come a time in the future where the drone aircraft and drone tanks meet in combat and the winner will be the country with the best educated computer hackers able to incapacitate the weapon platforms of the other side. I’m not worried about Pakistan, or even China- the most likely of our opponents, we’ve educated so many of their citizens and they get to look at all of the computer pieces we ask them to make for us. When the first American is killed by a drone in Nebraska, it will be under the control of the state FBI, CIA, NSA, &/or State Police…unless of course some hate group launches a home made drone at some gov’t organization or Planned Parenthood office.Apprehensively,C.

So, we’re killing radical Pakistani clergy, just for being radical? Or is it that they are engaged in terrorism against the USA? Oh, never-mind that wouldn’t have made nearly as good a cartoon…

Where are all the peace protesters marching on DC demanding Barry to be tried for war crimes? Oh, that’s right he’s a Dem so it doesn’t really matter.Btw I think continuing to use the drones Bush started is the only good thing Barry has done in 4 years.

Excellent explication, Michael wme. Thank you for trying to make clear that which too many Americans cannot or will not see.

OK Kids, today’s catch-phrase is “state actor”. Use if often and you’ll impress your friends. (wme =Weapons of Mass Emoting?)
