I think W's biggest flaw was the media was against him. [/quote]Please, drink the goddamn Kool-aid! Have another big glass. You think Dubya had no flaws at all! Blame it all on "the media".
It is not. Just because I am not aware of abuses does not mean that there are none, nor will there be none. Therefore, my awareness is irrelevant. The dependence upon one's ignorance as the determining factor of whether or not someone's rights are not being eroded is incredibly naive.
my concern is not with this administration but with future administrations and the precendent that is set by such a program. IMO this is one of those things that could easily become a slippery slope if entrusted to the wrong hands. we can use the drones as a terrorist killing tool and maintain the civil liberties of law abiding, loyal citizens if done correctly.
this is a piece of awful logic. should we assume there are abuses no mater what, if we know of them, and especially if we dont? thats a pointless tautology.
Please, drink the goddamn Kool-aid! Have another big glass. You think Dubya had no flaws at all! Blame it all on "the media".[/quote] He had flaws. All presidents do. For him the media searched out and exagerated. For O they cover and hide. Bushs exit strategy for Afghanistan was terrible. Obamas is brilliant. Same plan. 7.9% unemployment under O is improvement. 6% under W was devastating. W had haji waterboarded and they wanting him tried in court. O uses info from waterboarding to locate UBL and he's the greatest thing since the lightbulb. Gas hit $3 under bush and its cause he's in bed with oil. $3.85 under O. He has nothing to do with it. I'd love to drink a beer with Dubya. He's probably pretty cool to be around. Obama is an arrogant dick. They both went to Harvard. You said bush wasn't to bright? How were Barry's grades?
Gyver is surely correct about Obama foreign policy. If it isn't bush policy I would like to know how.
Give us a real example. You can't do it. Based on what? Bush was in the Business School. Obama was Editor of the Harvard Law Review and graduated magna cum laude.
