Human rights activists at odds with President Obama over his recent national security decisions are indicating that they might legally challenge the U.S. military's use of Predator drones, a weapon that intelligence officials say is their single most effective tool in combating Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

IOW failing with their White Phosphorous routine they now pick something they know will garner attention. One of the most successful in this war weapons in our arsenal.


"This is part of a broader campaign on the left to begin the drumbeat of withdrawal from Afghanistan and Pakistan generally to change the direction there and make it about only providing aid and not about military engagement," Bennett said.

I especially love how they use the plight of civilians. Same people who advocate abandoning civilians to mass murderers want you to believe they care about civilians.

As I read it, it is a handful of people on the ultra far left. Predator is not going away, and should not. Both sides have their people too far out on the edge to be even close to mainstream, and these are people like that.

By repetitious spewing the Far Left has convinced the Moderate Left that abandoning people to terrorist is not only just but right..as long as you blame Bush while you do it.

Depleted Uranium is a good example of that as well...as is Napalm.

Huh? You got anything in there other than the usual ultra right wing spew? Any evidence at all that this is anything beyond a few ulta left wing nutjobs?

What a ridiculous load of double speak.

The Predator works, works well and doesn't endanger American lives so of course the whackadoodles on the far left want it stopped.

That's what it sounds like to me, too. I don't think this is really gonna go anywhere at all.

Oh Bull****, the far far left has done nothing of the sort to convince the moderates on the left to follow their lead.

Keep dreaming. All sides have their respective whackos.
 
Extremist left wing jerkwads. Let them make their challenge. The right has theirs, the left has theirs. **** all of 'em with a ten foot pole. These idiots shouldn't be getting any press at all.
 
This will be as effective as.....the NAACP boycotting NASCAR.
 
Theres some pretty serious allegations being made on this thread. Why exactly would a seamingly innocent human rights organisation want to endanger U.S troops and weaken america?:shock:
 
Oh man that is to funny maybe I can get some of these folks to go out on patrol with us and see what a Pred can really do.

Who would have thought a president and Congress would want to release names of individuals at a private company they had OK'd bonus money to?

Who would have thought the military would be cut 10% during a war, after the same party bitched that our military is too small to fight the two-front war they promised it would be able to fight?

Who would have thought a president would have floated the idea of having GI's pay for their own health care?

There have already been too many "who would have thought moments" to think anything is off the table with this guy. He is "too far out on the edge to be even close to mainstream."

It is in their nature.

Were you in a coma during the last 6-years of the Bush administration?

Would I have thought that some one could turn anything into a partisan whine?

Actually, that one is pretty believable.

Of course you didn't.
I understand.
I was once where you are.

Tell me,

What type of perverted party do we have when they would vote TWICE to send troops to war and then turn their backs on them when they needed their support most?

What type of leadership declares our troops Nazi's, Terrorists, and declares to the world The War is Lost?

What type of people and party send troops to war for political expediency?
To cover their asses for decades of hostility to the intel services and military.

What party leader would come out and call the CIA liars and then cut off discussion from THE PRESS? And who would have thought the press would lie down and NOT ask follow up questions?

What type of party is more concerned about terrorists rights than our own troops on the battlefield?

It's your party Dave, and they and the majority of their supporters are so screwy, you can't assume they won't take the most twisted of actions... because they consistently have.

Even when it seems they are on the right side, given enough time they slither back to their anti-American positions of old.

This is your party in a nutshell.
In one word: Destructive.
Love Letter to America

What type of person would turn any opportunity into a chance to make a hyper partisan rant? What type of person is so rabidly partisan that they happily lie about those who disagree with them?

1. Please, list the lies.

2. It's not a rant, but laying out a foundation, justification for Leftists getting rid of drones... proving anything is possible with you folks.

Care to try again?

First, leftists are not getting rid of the drones. Don't be stupid, the drones are not going away, and most leftists don't want them to go away.

Now, the lies:

That is a lie. It has not happened in modern America.

What type of leadership declares our troops Nazi's, Terrorists, and declares to the world The War is Lost?

Lie, is not happening.

Exaggeration at best. I do not like President Bush, but I believe he felt he was doing what was best.

What party leader would come out and call the CIA liars and then cut off discussion from THE PRESS? And who would have thought the press would lie down and NOT ask follow up questions?

Are you including the one who documented that the CIA was wrong about the briefings they gave and the CIA admitted it, or the two others that the CIA has not confirmed or denied giving inaccurate information on?

What type of party is more concerned about terrorists rights than our own troops on the battlefield?
Click to expand...

No party that I know of, certainly no party that has won any elections in this country.

It's your party Dave, and they and the majority of their supporters are so screwy, you can't assume they won't take the most twisted of actions... because they consistently have.

Even when it seems they are on the right side, given enough time they slither back to their anti-American positions of old.

It's a HANDFUL of the far far left asking for this, not the Dem leadership, so please stop acting like it is the MAJORITY on the left asking for this. That is a lie.

I never said it was the majority and you fail to miss the point.

I didn't even say it was likely, only given the history of modern leftists, there is no putting anything past the possibility of you folks.

Idiocy starts somewhere, and given enough time, who the hell knows... First the seed, then the crop. Right now the seed has been planted.

Just look at your history.
You've come a long way since JFK.

Your side has just as many whackos as well. To claim that either side holds a monopoly on idiocy is dishonest at best and a lie at worst.

So do the whackos on your side influence you to their ways? If not, then why would the far far left influence moderates to theirs.

You simply can't get past the tiring monologue of the far right that liberals are bad and conservatives are good can you? You parrot the far far right's ridiculous notion that pure conservatism would work in the U.S., it wouldn't.

There ALWAYS needs to be a balance of conservatism and liberalism.

I think your leadership is nutso.
Obama, Biden, Frank, Pelosi, Reid, Durban, Waxman, Conyers, Waters, Rangel, Murtha, Schumer, Levin, Boxer...

We did well enough with limited government for 200-some years. It's been the last 70 that have screwed the country really good.

No.
Liberalism as practiced today by the Left is a recipe for failure.
Just look at how well they have done with our schools, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, the military and intel services when they get their hands on them. Just a short and costly list.

Libs need be confronted head-on, defeated, and kept in the minority.
You're ideas are a proven detriment to all society.
It's why I asked for where socialism worked and got a bunch of useless, inapplicable answers, when I got answers.

What I did get was a long hostile diatribe about not defining it.

When I said define it as you like, well... LOL... the Libs started all over again.
Modern Liberalism is indefensible. It fails everywhere where it is tried.
