without trials or even charges? Do you believe in our Constitution btw?

Yes, let's turn them against medical practices which don't take Medicare! jberryhill Oct 2012 #1
Nah, how about turning them against patients who can't afford cash-only doctors? Zalatix Oct 2012 #2
Troll? jberryhill Oct 2012 #3
Your first post was an off-topic way over the top attack based on another thread. AKA Trolling. Zalatix Oct 2012 #4
How can it be a falsehood? jberryhill Oct 2012 #5
Because it IS a falsehood. Zalatix Oct 2012 #6
Weaseling? jberryhill Oct 2012 #7
More off-topic weaseling. Zalatix Oct 2012 #9
You'd probably use drones on off-topic weasels, too! jberryhill Oct 2012 #10
Going by your troll logic, I could say you'd probably vote Republican. Zalatix Oct 2012 #11
It can be proven false quite easily jberryhill Oct 2012 #12
That's not proof of how you vote at the ballot box. It is evidence, but not proof. Zalatix Oct 2012 #13
Yeah, unfortunately, I'm a complete nincompoop about law jberryhill Oct 2012 #14
I used to support the Hiroshima bombing due to the black and white logic of Zalatix Oct 2012 #22
Well, I do not support the bombing of Hiroshima jberryhill Oct 2012 #30
As I said downthread, moral right isn't the same as legal right. Zalatix Oct 2012 #32
No. It's you who won't listen to attorneys explain to you, yet again, that what you claim is not msanthrope Oct 2012 #17
It is NOT legally accurate. You are in fact quite wrong. Zalatix Oct 2012 #23
The law requires no trial of anyone for the president to launch nukes at will jberryhill Oct 2012 #34
My post was in reference to my stand on politics, not what the President's authority is. Zalatix Oct 2012 #39
Legal doesn't mean 'right'. And while lawyers may choose to simply accept bad laws and operate sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #41
I think there is some confusion among some about my OP. Zalatix Oct 2012 #42
Um--when you conveniently forget the AUMF of 9/18/01, you indicate that you have no idea msanthrope Oct 2012 #51
Did you support Bush's invasion of Iraq? sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #18
Ha, no I did not jberryhill Oct 2012 #27
Legal authority and moral authority are two different things. Zalatix Oct 2012 #29
Okay, then you can stop going on about the "illegality" of drone strikes jberryhill Oct 2012 #36
A drone strike, on a US citizen on US soil? Zalatix Oct 2012 #40
Then you must have loved Saddam Hussein, no? sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #31
No jberryhill Oct 2012 #35
I'm not sure if you fully got the point of my OP. Zalatix Oct 2012 #43
So you agree, then, that you don't have a legal argument, but an emotional one? nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #54
My OP wasn't discussing the LEGALITY of it at all. Zalatix Oct 2012 #65
Take a look at the Gulf of Aden on a map. Now, what do you see? nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #68
I see Somalia and Pirate Alley Zalatix Oct 2012 #71
And what else? nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #74
Nothing that represents an invasion risk or an attack risk on the United States. Zalatix Oct 2012 #76
Look harder. nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #92
Ah, yes, the seafaring environmental activists of Somalia jberryhill Oct 2012 #85
If someone started dumping nuclear waste in America's waters and stealing our fish Zalatix Oct 2012 #89
People have done those things in American waters jberryhill Oct 2012 #91
"...aside to plunder resources." EX500rider Oct 2012 #72
Saddam Hussein was invaded because he planned to sell oil in Euros instead of dollars. Zalatix Oct 2012 #75
When the Euro is strong it would cost more.. EX500rider Oct 2012 #77
Yes it is an example of plundering. WE INVADED A NATION to keep oil cheap! Zalatix Oct 2012 #78
Your mistake starts at "we." JackRiddler Oct 2012 #82
I was simply applying your logic to the situation. If you DON'T support one thing, then sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #44
Wasn't there some leader of France treestar Oct 2012 #8
I am ok with that, when terrorists leaders put an end to summary executions bluestate10 Oct 2012 #15
Then you agree with the tactics of terrorists. Do we solve murders by murdering them sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #19
How is the AUMF of 9/18/01 not Constitutional? nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #21
So you support the Bush Doctrine then? sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #37
I asked you a question. What is unconstitutional about the AUMF, passed by Congress? And, no. nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #49
I didn't support the AUMF and after seeing who voted for it, they never got my support sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #60
The one of 2001, yes. The one of 2002, no. n t msanthrope Oct 2012 #61
Quote of the century. We don't beat terrorists by BECOMING terrorists. Zalatix Oct 2012 #24
I get all misty when someone uses the "T" word wtmusic Oct 2012 #69
Define Terrorist in a way that points to the Middle East's actions and not our military's... Zalatix Oct 2012 #80
I can't. wtmusic Oct 2012 #81
LOL sorry, that wasn't actually directed at YOU. It was intended to boost your point. Zalatix Oct 2012 #83
Crossing sovereign borders of countries with which we are not at war woo me with science Oct 2012 #16
I'd have been just fine with a drone strike to Bin Laden under Bush. You? nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #20
So let's say Afghanistan launches a drone to strike at American troops who killed civilians there? Zalatix Oct 2012 #25
You really think that's going to happen? nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #55
Of course not, we're the big bad global bully. Zalatix Oct 2012 #64
Your wish, and the American people's wish, to get Bin Laden woo me with science Oct 2012 #28
What justifies the drone strikes is the AUMF of 9/18/01, and the cooperation of the countries msanthrope Oct 2012 #53
My argument "fails" because you refuse to address it. woo me with science Oct 2012 #56
Woo, let's stop pretending that Pakistan isn't playing both sides of this game--- msanthrope Oct 2012 #57
+1,000! Zalatix Oct 2012 #79
Don't you know? AUMF trumps all. Gives us authority to kill at will. neverforget Oct 2012 #84
No, I would not mainly because he was never even charged with being involved in 9/11. sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #38
He was killed in Pakistan, not Afghanistan. nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #50
What has that got to do with my comment? sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #59
You wrote about Afghanistan turning him over. They didn't have him....Pakistan did. nt msanthrope Oct 2012 #62
I wrote that in response to your statement that you would have supported Bush sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #63
OBL was in Pakistan for most of the Bush presidency. But I would have supported a drone strike in msanthrope Oct 2012 #67
OBL was in Afghanistan when the Taliban made the offer to hand him over. sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #87
Wait a minute--Are you doubting that OBL did 9/11?? You don't think OBL did 9/11? msanthrope Oct 2012 #93

Is there an advantage to addressing this issue now as opposed to 1 month from now? (nt) Nye Bevan Oct 2012 #45
Nope. In fact I'll be sure to address this issue at the proper time. Zalatix Oct 2012 #48
Maybe for the people who will be blown to smithereens between now and then wtmusic Oct 2012 #70
Dead children don't know how to wait until after the election? Puregonzo1188 Oct 2012 #73
Next month it will not be useful to advance the "they're all the same" thing jberryhill Oct 2012 #86
Yes, for those who will be the victims of more drone attacks between now and then. sabrina 1 Oct 2012 #88
Some Americans are expressing what you're saying, but will take louder voices, more outraged sad sally Oct 2012 #46
