Even the “guilty” targets are innocent as far as the US is concerned. 100% of the drone targets are not people who are plotting against the US. They are fighting US allies like Yemen and Pakistan.
I am awarding you two awards this day. First, “Obscure Reference in a Comment of the Day” for epistemic closure. Epistemic is so obscure that it did not make the Google Chrome spell check dictionary. Second, ’Best Book Recommendation of the Day in a Comments Section on a Comic" for recommending “Savage Continent”. It is a rainy day today, I just ordered the Kindle version of the book and will get started on it after lunch. Thank-you.

A President ordering the death of people who are trying to kill Americans? Kudos, Mr. President, kudos.

Hmmm, I see your point. We should send in ground troops instead so more of our troops can die…
