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

How can the administration stop killing Afghans? This has been the
central question this administration has grappled with. How can it
avoid the British, Soviet, and Bush practice of killing the Afghan
people with the massive weapons it can deploy from the sky? How can
the administration reverse the damage of the sexual humiliation
interrogation tactics used to gather information? How can the
administration quickly learn from the many different peoples that live
in the country, and how can it use this knowledge to improve
conditions and relations? How can it navigate and negotiate these
troubled waters?
It can not. It can, of course, declare an end to the wars and get out.
This is what Obama plans to do after he is re-elected. Why didn't he
do it in his first term? He wouldn't get a second term if he did.
Politicians need to stay in office to get anything done. Obama
understnas this. The drones have protected him and his allies. Now it
time to change the plan.
The president is not a Tory; he is a politician; he must deal with a
very difficult problem and he is doing a fair job of it, but he must
keep his job to do any good at all. This is the reality.
The stupid economy is on the mend; the Republican challanger is on the
ropes. Obama may disappoint those who are naive or idealistic, but
pragmatists accept him as the best option.
Drone away, Mr President. The president, like a good sherrif, has
bodies strewn across main street. Many of the them are innocent people
who got caught in the crossfire, but a lot of them are bad men who
need to be stopped.
This cowboy theme works. Obama is more like Reagan everyday. And the
people, even those who disagreed with him on all manner of things and
understood that he was naive and uninformed, liked Reagan enough.
Drone away. My babies are not dying and my sons in uniform are safer
when the drones drop their load.
