Amigo, I wish you would learn how to use multiple quotes.
 I wish I would as well but I don't have all your free time. I work for a living.
 
Don't be obtuse, do you really imagine that I am in charge of the drone strikes? 
You certainly talk as if you are making statements with such certainty.The limits of citizenship is in the Constitution for all to read. 
Again not true as I pointed out earlier with in this OP with cites.We freely elected an Executive and Commander in Chief.
Yes we did and we freely have the option of changing our mind...ask GHW Bush and J Carter
 
Then what exactly is your issue? 
You keep bringing him up. 
You brought him up I only responded.You have 
not offered a single instance where this drone policy has been abused to target Americans not actively involved with Al Qaeda. Well over 99% of the drone strikes targeted foreign agents of Al Qaeda.
Red you continually ignore the point that the issue is not drone strikes but the lack of structure and checks on their use. Also the negative concequences
 
Exactly! Congress authorized war against Al Qaeda. They do not get involved in operational matters like rules of engagement, which are set by the Commander in Chief. The very fact that rules of engagement is at play defines this action as international warfare. ROE are not used for domestic operations. Instead, use of force by US forces in such situations is governed by Rules for the Use of Force (RUF
).That is ridiculous Red..are you saying there are plans to use armed forces in the US? Get it through your thick skull the unrestricted use of drones whether it be on foreigners or US citizens needs to be better structured. That doesn't mean I am for cottling those who fight us or defend them. I believe there are two issues that make it not the best solution. First is that it is a short term solution. We gather no intelligence as we did from those captured in the field. Without rendition OBL would still be around. AQ has adapted and spread like cancer. They aren't defeated but are in Syria, Libyia, Yemen etc etc etc and have changed their short term focus. Drone attacks also create more AQ followers for every one killed. That is reason to question unrestricted use. There is the moral component two. You are comfortable with collateral killing and wounding of children not in combat when they are known to be near the target? I am not and believe there is a difference between unintentional collateral damage and accepting it with knowledge that it will happen.
 
Not many are calling for it at all! Exactly 11 Congressmen. The other 
98% have not called for anything of the kind. 
 16% of the senate and 34% of the Ds in the senate have a problem with it and the Ds are going against a popular and petty and vindictive leader that doesn't raise concern? When it comes to drone strikes, the fight in Washington has no parallel in the general public. 
83% of the American public approves of the drone strikes.
Interesting use of statistics Red.Does that mean because it is popular it is right?  84% of southerners supported slavery and segregation...were they right? 
 
Washington Post: The American Public loves drones
 
 
I understand your concern that such power 
could be abused. But it has 
not been abused in the 12 years that it has been in place. It has been highly effective militarily. If abuse ever did occur, THEN the existing checks and balances would come into play. If it ain't broke . . . 
AGain the whole point of LaSalle's post was that there are no checks and the potential for abuse was real. President Obama has shown he is willing to ignore the law and constitution when it suits him with the recess appointments abuse that has been ruled unconstitutional...what should I believe he won't do so with drones?
 
No one thought that White House officials would reveal a covert CIA operative either. But when it happened, it could not be kept secret and persons were brought to trial for it. No one thought that a President would use government official to spy on political opponents, but when it happened it could not be kept secret and a President was forced to resign.
 SO you say if senators who know much more than you have a problem that isn't the canary in the coal mine?
 
The check and balances are already there and they work
