And when that many die from drone strikes its collateral damage to box, life is life stop trying to pick which ones count.
People in war die... an unfortunate fact of life. I approve of limiting that number to the bare minimum and to 0 if possible. Reasonable politics could eliminate much of the unnecessary wars, just as drone strikes that are very accurate, eliminate the large number of casualties on both sides if those terrorists were killed with conventional forces on the ground. |

Want to see a picture of what L4Life considers MINUSCULE?The toll eventually reached 168 confirmed dead, not including an unmatched leg that could have belonged to a possible, unidentified 169th victim... All of them are L4Life's "hysterical little girls"
OMG!
Fake!Photoshop! |

Comprehension and association are apparently not your area of expertise.
I will explain the relationship to you that I was demonstrating.
Hysterical Little Girls hyping up everyone with evil terror behind every corner is really an insignificant little nothing, to anyone who can see that the sky is not really falling.
The war on terror is a meaningless joke designed to take control of society and steal trillions from the panicked taxpayers who need to be protected from the falling sky.
The war on terror is really a just a show for the morons eager to surrender their rights and money to their saviors.
Therefore Terrorism = * Yawnism *
it's like religion...fresh blood to feed the 'god' so it is satiated.... king kong and the girl the donation plate that gets passed lighting candles collecting stones etc etc it's one of the oldest tricks of humankind |

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Bombing Pakistani's with CIA drone strikes isn't a war. Unless you are saying America not only doesn't have to declare war, but also gives foreign aid to countries they are at war with. Which really isn't a surprise. |

But, but, but, ... for the children!
Like the dead baby photoshopped into the OKC bombing photo.
Box has reached a new low. Posting dead babies photoshopped into his argument.We launch drone attacks at our allies' countries.
That way their leaders don't have to bother with pesky trials and such other nonsense.This is very creative, bombing away criminals for other countries.Now they are discussing leaving drones for Afghanistan to use on the neighbors after we are run out of town. |

Drones are targeting AlQaeda, just as they have since G Worst Bush instituted the "BUSH DOCTRINE". If they were targeting the Pakistani military, or the Pakistani government, then your assessment would be correct. The USA declared war against AlQaeda shortly after the WTC attacks, and it continues. |

They should be grateful our government didn't kill them with a policy of death by sanction like Iraqi children. |

I doubt that they were... but then neither were the dead children in Sandy Hook Elementary School. |

The shooter at Sandy Hook is considered a criminal, the drone pilot extrajudicially killing innocent children is expected to be considered a hero. Pretty sick huh? |

Cicero sees no difference between The Sandy Hook school shooter hitting every target that he intended, and a Drone attack that very successfully hits it's intended target, and occasionally civilians that were never targets. |

I wish that Congress didn't, but unfortunately they did. The Authorization for Use of Military Force is a joint resolution passed by the United States Congress on September 14, 2001, authorizing the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the attacks on September 11, 2001.
Quoted Text
Section 2 - Authorization For Use of United States Armed Forces (a) That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
The Congress didn't "declare war" but it did authorize the president to use military force against AlQaeda. Drone attacks are authorized by congress. |

That's insane.
That's the same excuse the NYPD uses when they shoot 8 bystanders.
By your logic, if a cop that was the first to get to Sandy Hook, could shoot 300 rounds and kill a few dozen more kids while taking down Lanza, and that would be fine, because that was not his intent.Or is it different because these were American kids? |
