Does Obama's green-light on assassination of Americans change your view

[quaker bill]

89. So, by your standards

who ends up dead at the hands of our military and was not assassinated? Perhaps it is only the indiscriminate and unintended deaths that don't qualify. Those 10s or 100s thousands of dead were not assassinated, because of course their names were not on a list?

Obviously all the dudes on that deck of cards in Iraq were assassinated, correct? We picked them because they actually were prominent, so they can't just be simple war dead, right? Now, if they were assassinated, then the drone strikes are simply doing the same stuff we did with cruise missles, F-16s, fuel-air bombs, tanks (Saddam's boys) all over Iraq and Afghanistan. We knew who they were, put them on a list and specifically wanted them dead, no trial, no appeal. Then we went and killed them, with clear intent and absolute prejudice.

Your chosen use of the term renders it nearly meaningless.
