On this issue, I approve of his actions, regardless if there were multiple political gains to be had by taking this stance. In the end, they lost.


He's been hella better at it than GWB ever was, too...he's actually hunting down and killing terrorists instead of attacking countries that have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorist plots against the USA.

Fish on...

I don't necessarily disagree.

I'm not inclined to defend dubya but I think that there was one instance when they had a positive ID on Bin Laden and the drone was not armed. The Predators armed with Hellfires were just coming on line.
Dubya would have gotten the kill if an armed Predator was aloft that day.

The tech and Obama seemed to come online together.
