Scarborough on U.S. Drone Attacks in Pakistan: "We're Just Dropping Bombs and Killing Families"
Monday, May 10, 2010 | Kristinn

Posted on 05/10/2010 4:59:08 AM PDT by kristinn

MSNBC host of Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, channeled his inner moonbat today with a rant on the use by the United States of drone bombers in Pakistan.

Armed drones were first used by the Bush administration, but under Obama their use has skyrocketed as a means to target terrorist havens in Pakistan without having to put U.S. forces on the ground there.

Scarborough bemoaned that we are not putting boots on the ground and kicking in doors. He complained, with justification, of the hypocrisy of those who objected to harsh interrogation techniques against our enemies now employing drones to just kill them.

Scarborough then went Cindy Sheehan, saying that Pakistanis are justifiably angry at the U.S., comparing the situation to China using drones on Idaho.

Scarborough then channeled John Kerry, saying of the U.S. and our forces, "We're just dropping bombs and killing families." And, "we're killing four year-old little girls and dismembering grandma"

Let’s see...killing children and old people - check. Unfortunately, Joe, you left out minorities and the poor.

Bad liberal. Bad.

I don’t know whatever happened to the Joe of the 90s up through the 2000 election. It is apparent that NBC met his asking price.

Dear Joe,
This drone war is your CIA tax dollars at work, and the liberal idea of warfighting with machines, not men. On steroids. Next, Yemen.

Now relax, the next administration can call for ICC show trials against obama biden and the CIA (sarc)

Would it be too unfortunate if a Predator accidentally strayed over Northern NJ and destroyed the MSNBC studios?

RE :"He complained, with justification, of the hypocrisy of those who objected to harsh interrogation techniques against our enemies now employing drones to just kill them."

This one I thought of myself too, but it is not new for democrats. The Clinton Serbia war was about dropping high altitude bombs on everything to intimidate them. Obviously those being killed remotely do not get the same (new) Miranda rights that democrats give those captured. The MSM could ask Obama about this, and their moral argument about treating the enemy humanly.

The MSM's betrayal of this country has already gotten them on many people's "list". Hence my tagline:

If I remember right, in WW2 we bombed whole cities, women and childresn and.., until the bad guys surrendered.

Since we stopped doing that, what have we won?

The drones are used to prevent deaths of our troops.

GOOD!

The left is annoyed that we have no deaths.

Poor Joe is a lost soul.

The bigger question is where are the bleeding heart liberals and State Media readers on this issue.

Not a problem for the First Black to kill civilians as Commander in Chief.

It happens to all these guys. Joe exclusively has guests on his show from Huffington Post, Newsweek, Daily Kos, etc. Then to play nice, they start attending cocktail parties with them and spends all his time in either Boston, Manhattan or Washington DC. Then its, “Hey, this guy bought me a drink and shot the breeze with me all night. Theres no way he could be trying to screw the country over.”
