Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) appeared on CNN with anchor Brooke Baldwin on Tuesday to discuss his ongoing efforts to impose on President Barack Obama’s administration some oversight regarding drone strikes. Grayson said that it was not right that so many civilians have been killed “upon the command of one man.”
“We’re undertaking something that’s simply beyond anyone’s capability – trying to decide on the basis of what we see on a computer screen in the United States who lives and who dies 8,000 miles away in a foreign land,” Grayson said. “There’ve already been as many as 200 children – children – who’ve died through these drone attacks in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, and in Yemen.”
Baldwin showed Grayson a list of top terror suspects who have been incapacitated as a result of drone warfare. “What is the alternative?” she asked.
“The alternative is to rely on other countries to clean up their own messes instead of having us send our death equipment to the other side of the world to perform those acts for them,” Grayson replied.
Baldwin interrupted and reminded Grayson that Osama bin Laden was living in Pakistan under the protection of local Pakistani authorities. “Can we trust these other countries?” she asked.
“The alternative is to see staggering casualties among innocent people,” Grayson countered.
“Generally speaking, it’s god who decides who lives and who dies,” he concluded. “Unless you’re talking about drone attacks.”
‘It’s God Who Decides Who Lives and Dies’
Welp, when he loses the bleeding hearts, he’s doomed.
meant to say “this” instead of “thing” I type too fast for my own good sometimes
The funny thing? obama thinks he’s God.
This is satire, right?
yeah I corrected it, I typed too fast..actually Dems think that Govt is God..Obama worships himself
I guess good ol’ alan forgot that some few years ago, ohaha declared himself G-d’s partner.
He’s just saying that Obama is God...
To be expected from Grayson.
“Allah” will sort them out.
But in all seriousness, who keeps on letting Alan out of the mental hospital..the dude is certifiable..Id like to know what kind of security they have that they keep on losing him
Unless your talking about drone attacks, or abortion..
Exactly what I was going to post. Grayson is an idiot and a hypocrite.
You mean he got something right? No!
Grayson is just plain scary..he’s a fruitcake, and a scary fruitcake..how the hell did this guy even win..are people in his district that nuts
unless you’re in obamacare, then alan’s okay with the deathcare panel deciding.
So does Grayson.
LOL! I was going to say...
If ‘It’s God Who Decides Who Lives and Dies’ then it is absolutely no problem if we arrange the meetings of Muslims and Allah!
a Liberal who speaks of God! How is that? Doesn’t he know that the Democratic Party, the Unions and Hollywood all know that Obama is God almighty! He should be drummed out of the Liberal Leftist Party—Maybe he watched Fox or something and was corrupted!
However, a woman’s right to chose trumps God......
