Not a pleasant editorial cartoon, but a hard-hitting one and to the point, whatever the viewer’s opinion might be. Herblock used to strike me this way.

More Obama bashing. The Congress could prevent the use of drones anytime they want. They make the laws, instead they bitch about the President.

When you introduce a weapon of war, you should not be surprised when that same weapon is used against you. The whole concept of “we fight them over there so we won’t need to fight them over here” was barely defensible at first, but now that we have drone warfare, it’s easy for them to fight us over here, no matter where our military happens to be stationed.

The only problem with that is, of course, as I know you know, that killing those foreign kids makes his own kids less safe. So he’s mean AND stupid.

When a devout and practicing follower of Christianity launches, then pilots a bomb laden drone—-is Jesus the co-pilot?

Take the risk to the boys out of the war, and you greatly increase the risk of wars, waged by the technologically dominant country.

Ted “Behead” Rall…..You do realize that your 2% accuracy stat includes mostly missiles that hit sand right? Stop defending terrorists,Muslim terrorists aim for 100% accuracy on killing civilians.Barry can’t even say Islamic Terrorism lol, but even he realizes that we either take out these killers or France’s Charlie will look like a minor event.

I do not understand why Mr. Obama has not been impeached, convicted, and jailed as a murderer for his use of drones against U.S. citizens. O, wait. “If the president does it that means it is not illegal.” O, wait, that was Nixon, Where are all the liberals who drove out Nixon now that the criminal in the White House is a democrat? Hypocrites.
