Is Barack Obama a Tory? Or another fascist prick who murders people trying to rescue drone victims.

the fact of the matter is that the benefits of degrading Al Qaeda and
Haqqani and like network of baddies via drone strike outweighs the
unfortunate death of civilians including children. Obama or anyone in
the US govt will never admit it (maybe Romney would knowing him) but
that's the simple truth I think. it should give them gray hairs and
uneasy sleep since the ground war has gone tits up as you say, David
it really is all they got going for them. will it cause more to join
jihadist terrorist groups? that remains to be seen.
