In reply to the discussion: 7-Day Drone Poll [View all]Flying Squirrel
(3,041 posts)34. Both very good points
I said "know" rather than "believe" because I didn't think many people would agree with strikes based on a belief. Oversight isn't included because it's a separate issue from whether we should be even doing it at all. I think most would agree some kind of oversight is needed after the fact - which will probably happen now that this has become public knowledge. The more hawkish would claim that oversight before the strike would hamper the Executive branch too much (man, that word "Executive" starts to really live up to its name, doesn't it?) But I already have 10 poll answers for the single issue so that's where this poll stands.. thanks for voting in it.
