Where are the wingers condemning them for drone attacks like they do Obue? Originally Posted by ekim008Who was condemning drone attacks?

Who was condemning drone attacks?
I thought the critics were complaining because there was a lack of drone attacks ...
.. in Libya!!!!!
Drones are great as long as they are "friendly" and the bad guys are dying!
They are so "nintendo-sanitary" ... and the operator comes home unscathed.
For the record, I think it has been the anti-war, peacenik, liberal crowd whining. Originally Posted by LexusLover

the "strategic situation" has always favored Israel so long as Israel was not "required" to comply with U.S. requests to "stand down."I remember quite well watching the televison coverage of the 1967 war, which was wall-to-wall television coverage at the UN, and the 1973 war, which was also quite entertaining, and the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and 2006.
When has the US ever asked Israel to back down? Just once over being hit by scuds in 1991. Otherwise the Israelis always do what they want, and the US only gripes a little bit about it. Other than their nuclear options the strategic situation has always been dire regarding Israel. Until 2003 Iraq represented a huge long-term threat. The corrolation of other forces against Israel has always put Israel at a huge disadvantage, which is why Israel has always chosen to preempt. Only 1973 was an exception to this, and they only survived because of last-ditch American efforts. And both in 1982 and in 2006
they had their heads handed to them in Lebanon.
While the "regular" Arabic enemies are imploding with their own corruptness and political conflicts their meager "guard" are trying to protect the threatened monarchs and self-annointed saviors ... so given their weakened and distracted condition they cannot even fantasize of mustering an adequate response to the Israelis.
The Arab monarchs are all allied with Israel. The Saudis and other "sheiks" support Israel covertly in all kinds of ways.
The governments which were potentially hostile though, those in Egypt, Jordan and Syria, are henceforth not going to be benign any longer.
When Assad is replaced in Syria, and Jordan finds itself isolated between Syria and Egypt once again as before 1970, Israel will be in a real pickel.
Nuclear weapons are off the table in the decision making. That's a last strike option only, which will be a deterrent. Sounds good in the media from both sides, but like WWII..... the "scientists" know better... and so do the economists.
You are so wrong that you're information must come from comic books. The Israelis have been all over the world, everyplace, dropping hints about their plans to use nuclear weapons in all kinds of tactical applications..including to destroy Iranian infrastructure.
Frankly I don't believe they'd ever do it, and they're just bluffing, but to say what you did given their behavior is really wacked Dude.
Apparently, you weren't around in the mid-60's! Originally Posted by LexusLover

.............. just who is the "boots on the ground" group?
They are whining because of a "hit list"? Or drones? I thought that was ..
.. ACLU!
Wheeewwwwwwwwww..
.... caught it for an edit before you further humiliated yourself .....
"In a statement emailed to reporters, the American Civil Liberties Union slammed the White House for creating a special hitlist of terrorists, which it calls a “disposition matrix.” According to the Washington Post, a database to create the list has been in development for two years.
The ACLU has filed a pair of Freedom of Information Act requests regarding the database as as well as a lawsuit challenging its constitutionality."
