“Every action needs a framework to use as a basis for decision. Congress and the executive and judicial review are necessary to make a valid product. There can't be simulatneous approval from outside but with a frame work to use as a basis oversite can be valid. There will always be and should be vigorous discussion of every action. That criticqal process is needed to get better.
Totally impractical and quite naive. Nothing would get accomplished. The entire reason to have a Supreme Commander and an Executive is to make executive decisions. If he oversteps he can be removed from office. The checks and balances are there already. But it is foolish to demand that check and balances be implemented to approve each and every operation.
BS Red it is always done it is called Rules of Engagement. Ever hear of that term?
I ask again, Why are you defending these turncoat traitors who make war against us? This power is NOT being used to target citizens. Name me a single incident where this has been done. How about Anwar Al Alwaki? His citizenship has never been officially revoked. Also there have been noted times when the target of the attack was not at the spot hit and innocents were killed.
Damn Red are you raising that false flag again? Where did I ever defend them or say they should be left alone. I have said there were problems with the implementation of the program because of the lack of control and Rules of Engagement (as sighted by several Ds and other sources). I am many other believe that just killing limits the effectiveness of the overall war on terror. What information could have been obtained from the top people? Again don't put words in my mouth sport!!
