Well now we have it.....the Obama Regime's Attorney General, who is in Civil and Criminal Contempt of Congress, said Drone Attacks could be executed inside the United States, against US Citizens, without any Legal Proceeding whatsoever.:mad:

This coming from a pair of deuces that raised Holy Hell over Wire Tapping and Eavesdropping without a Warrant and who also raised Holy Hell over Water Boarding.

If ever one rationally considered a US President would even consider doing such a thing much less adopt such a Policy....this qualifies as the Inmates Running the Asylum.

So now....we have trouble in Syria, Egypt, Yemen, Sudan, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela along with the other usual hot spots and we have a President who thinks he can snuff "potential threats" without any Due Process......Wunderbar!

He just got caught lying through his teeth about Sequestration....along with Benghazi, and the Fast and Furious Debacle....and out of the Media we hear.....Hosannas for the One!:ugh:

Don't you think it's ironic that its deemed acceptable to 'obliterate' the perceived enemy from afar (with a drone), but not from within?

Lonewolf_50 6th Mar 2013 19:24

No, not ironic in the least. The enemy are "them" and the citizens are "we" in pretty much every nation on earth.

Welcome to the human race, nice to have you drop by for a chat.

But what if your citizens are the 'enemy' within?

The enemy are "them" and the citizens are "we"
But entirely possible to have terrorists ("them") on your own soil, even in America therefore entirely ironic.

Rand Paul filibustering Brennan Nomination!

Good on him!:ok:

Finally a Senator that will stand up to Obama and Holder!:D:D

Three Judge Appeals Court hammers the Obama Administration about the CIA's attempt to deny it holds any records pertaining to its Armed Drone Programs.

The Court cited the public testimony of the new CIA Director and others in the Obama Administration, and Obama's own public statements as removing any justification for the refusal of the Obama Regime to discuss even the existence of CIA/DOD records re Armed Drones.


Court deals blow to CIA drone secrecy - Josh Gerstein - POLITICO.com

Senator Rand Paul's 13 Hour Filibuster was successful....and forced Obama to answer the question about Legal Basis for the Federal Government to use Armed Drone Attacks against American Citizens in particular and all others who enjoy the protections of the US Constitution by their Legal Status while in US Sovereign Territory.

That was a huge Victory by Senator Paul and for the American People.:ok::D

The Answer....is they cannot without Due Process or during an active on-going attack.

Major shift in US Public's approval of Drone Strikes.

The Tide is Turning....for the good.

Drones poll: More people oppose drones killing U.S. citizens.

Lonewolf_50 26th Mar 2013 14:34

Not ironic.

21st century reality.

Domestic terrorists, like that McVeigh fella, are not news either.

SASless 26th Mar 2013 14:38

The Government killing Citizens is not new either....recall Waco and Ruby Ridge?

"basically the same question:"

Why didn't they ask exactly the same question
and remove one of the variables ?

Roland Pulfrew 26th Mar 2013 16:48

How ironic then that according to The Grauniad UK subjects are in favour of "drone" strikes.
