Zero Hedge: Watch: Obama Casually Admits His Drone Strikes Killed "Inordinate Amount" Of Innocent Civilians Barack Obama is on his book tour for A Promised Land now four years after leaving office. During his latest interview days ago on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert he was asked about his vastly expanded drone strikes (setting a record far and above that of the prior Bush administration) as a preferred method of taking out America's 'enemies'.

The former Democratic president still can't shake his legacy as the "drone president" given he still holds the record for number of ordered kill missions.

ReplyDeleteI believe it was PJ Media had apiece on why politicians knowingly break their own rules. It gives them a psychological high. Making the rules and breaking the rules is a way of showing status like conspicuous consumption.
ReplyDeleteObama is not quite using the avenue of approach, but it is nearly the same thing. I don't know if Obama quite how Obama got to the position. Maybe the problem is Obama should push back against the holier than thou, neutral 3rd person interviewer.
There were other ways such having Pakistan police FATA, night letter and other means. Washington DC including its great generals chose not to go there.
I dislike Obama and the smarmy interviewer.
