Pay Attention leftist!!!!! I disagree with this


See how we are capable of individual thought and don't follow blindly. You should try it.

The CIA has reportedly been given the power by President Trump to launch drone strikes against suspected terrorists. The new authority is a change in drone policy from the Obama administration, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday citing U.S. officials. Under the Obama administration, the CIA used drones to find suspected terrorists. But the military then launched the strikes.

pretty awful, if true, and should not be ignored

Obama was rightfully criticized for his drone strikes and it seems Trump is going to continue that and without the oversight or transparency

Fine with me. Whether it's the A team or B team of US policy taking the shot, I don't care as long as the end result is the same.

Of course we have the ACLU with a different argument:

quote:

“There are a lot of problems with the drone program and the targeted killing program, but the CIA should be out of the business of ordering lethal strikes,” said Christopher Anders, deputy director of the Washington office of the American Civil Liberties Union.

I don't like this either, especially with all the new revelations on the CIA and their warrantless spying.

So after months of attacking the integrity and capability of the CIA he gives them the ability to control drone strikes?

Not sure he thought that one through enough...

Good. This way Trump can pass the blame for collateral damage to the CIA

Why wasn't Bush criticized for his drone strikes?

After all, he started it.
