does anybody have an opinion on whether these drone strikes help or hurt our fight against terrorism. It’s not that i cant make up my own mind, but that many freepers give very insightful answers that i hadn’t considered before

“We have concluded that Ahmed Farouq, an American who was an al-Qa’ida leader, was killed in the same operation that resulted in the deaths of Dr. Weinstein and Mr. Lo Porto. We have also concluded that Adam Gadahn, an American who became a prominent member of al-Qa’ida, was killed in January, likely in a separate U.S. Government counterterrorism operation.”

As “careful” as the Hussein Regime has been about AVOIDING US casualties in hostage situations, allegedly aborting missions in an “abundance” of caution, etc, it makes one wonder whether the intended targets were indeed hit.

Knowing this administration, odds are, no.

To Whom It May Concern:
If I am ever held hostage by ISIS I give FULL PERMISSION to drone strike the crap out of them even if it means killing me.
In fact I’ll wear a tracker to help you find them

...now CNN and Fox are reporting that the White House CLAIMS that Obama did not order the strike.

Something is rotten in Denmark.

Possible, but the networks weren’t going to cover that anyway, were they? They are as in the tank for Shrillary as they were for Obamugabe.

If Gadahn’s fell out of favor with AQ then I guess hitting him is OK now, in Obamalogic.

“Something is rotten in Denmark.”

It’s called a coward-in-chief. Yet another refusal to take any responsibility for anything. This occupier is lower than low, with a yellow-stripe down his back a mile wide.

What next - ‘It was George Bush’s fault”?

If the story grows some legs and goes viral, they have to cover it or risk being left out of the story. I don’t think the MSM likes Hillary as much as Bill or Obama.
