Obama beats Bush again

This time it's with drone raids. Bush authorized 44 raids, Obama is closing in on 240.  Okay, you could argue that Barry is substituting drones for soldiers; there is some truth in that argument. But drones can only kill or injure people, sometimes innocent people.  They cannot make the country better; Pakistan is still as troubled as it has been for many years despite the drones.

There is a great deal of secrecy attached to drones.  Barry has not told us how he decides to kill the people the drones are aimed at.  And the people killed have included Americans.  True, they were involved with the other side supposedly, but we know of no legal basis for ordering their demise.

We are at the stage where the president acts as though we can do just about anything anywhere as long as we claim that he is acting to preserve national security.  What kind of country does that sound like?
