Try not to cross him on a bad day...

[cicero2k]

So this is what we end up with? A Czar?

We need reps from other branches of the government involved. Then some degree of disclosure of the decision process.

This can be done without compromising our ability to be effective.

And only a few years ago we were so upset about pouring water on someone’s face; because Dick Cheney may be involved.

Laughable now.

[rovenstinez]

Sounds like GOD. He decides who lives and who dies. Maybe in 40 years there’ll be a World Court and he’ll be hanged.

[Libloather]

The war on women - kicked up a notch.

[bunkerhill7]

“No Assassination Without Representation!”

[popdonnelly]

Can you imagine what the media would say if Bush had done this?

[davius]

Hey John!

What up, Dude? If you guys need like a practice run for your Death Star gig, could I, ya know, volunteer? I've been married for almost 30 years and waiting to die for the last 25. Fine, it's the last 28 but I didn't want to sound pathetic. If you could give me a heads up maybe 10 minutes before, that'd be great as I'd really like to start smoking again before I start smoking... See what I did there? Heh, heh.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[stormhill]

From The Onion, right?

Right?

[Red6]

Just remember, wars, death Tzar's that violate rules established as far back as Ford, these sort of actions which the Democrats entirely opposed when in opposition to the Bush administration are OK according to Newsweek, Time, CNN, MSNBC if it's a Democrat in the White House. lol

[Terry Mross]

Here’s a scary scenario. A talk show host who is hated by the administration walks from his house to his car and is hit by a bullet. The official investigation finds it was a stray bullet and was not intended for the victim. When in reality it came from a drone.

Dee DEE dee dee

Dee DEE dee dee

You have now entered....

The Twilight Zone.

[willibeaux]

Another gutsy call by the pretender backed up of course by a CYO memo blaming the “Ax” and Val if it backfires.

[ntnychik]

Plausible deniability for The One. Brennan can count on being the next to be thrown under the bus.

[clearcarbon]

He’s probably collecting Arizona maps and phone directories.

[OneWingedShark]

Wow, take a look at this.

Given the NDAA’s suspension of Habeus Corpus, “in the name of public safety” (the only legitimate way according to the Constitution), we now have the situation where a citizen can be detained indefinitely w/o charges, and where drones can be used to gather evidence against citizens in secret, BOTH perfectly legal*.

Since the NDAA passed without much guff, that is only minor ‘alarmist’ ramblings, the government must believe that people don’t care about the sixth amendment... and, given the widespread acceptance of the 2005 Kelo decision being a-ok**, we must not care about the fifth either. Since we don’t care about the fifth, we must not care if the Government is or is not prohibited from taking lives without the involvement of the Grand Jury.

All that combined with the media controlled by the government and I doubt we’d ever hear about either the drones assassinating or people being snapped up.
Interesting times.

* — If you ignore the sixth amendment; though they might say “technically they aren’t charged with a crime, therefore there is no criminal prosecution.”
** — Kelo’s decision was utterly laughable, the USSC said [basically] that the Government could seize any property as long as they could ‘project’ [read imagine] that it could bring public benefit... and that wholly separate from any actual benefit, given that the Kelo land has NEVER been developed.

So when will we start seeing the use of RPGs and other types of missiles being used in our homeland to thwart the drones?
