US Claims Drone Strike Kills Four Suspected Militants in Pakistan

Quote from paperboy05 : In Pakistan?

WTF? You're seriously going to dispute Bush starting the War on Terror and the drone attacks in Pakistan [wikipedia.org].

As long as we're only killing non-Americans (regardless of their innocence), I nor the American people could't care less about it.

Quote from thikthird : he initiated what lead us to pakistan.

So does that mean he gets the blame for Iran too?

BTW, how does Obama continuing and increasing drone attacks in Pakistan constitute him "mopping up the spill"?

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic but what you said is unfortunately true.

do you know what "moving the goalpost" means?

Quote from thikthird : do you know what "moving the goalpost" means?

Of course. What goal posts am I moving? I was wrong about Bush starting Pakistan drone strikes.

Or do you mean that Obama is moving the goal posts Bush set up?

you were wrong about pakistan, so you bring up iran. you had no valid argument and then changed the subject. way to go.

How is that changing the goalposts? Red herring perhaps, but not really moving the goalposts. Nice try though

Quote : you had no valid argument and then changed the subject. way to go.

My argument is that it's quite funny that Bush gets the blame for Pakistan because he started the wars on terror, yet Obama has continued and increased them 6 fold from whatever Bush did.

no it's textbook definition of the fallacy you used. "b-b-b-b-b-but what about iran".

as far as your new, shifted argument, what point are you trying to make? are you saying you were ok with the war under bush and not ok with the war under obama?

It would be interesting and beneficial to know the "rest of the story" other than a news article written by a "reporter" who could possibly be writing through their own personal bias and not be supplying all of the facts either through that bias or from simply not being privy to the details surrounding the entire situation.

If the USA legitimately needed to take out the enemy and successfully did accomplish their goal, then I say good job and good riddance to the scum, and may many more follow them.

Quote from thikthird : no it's textbook definition of the fallacy you used. "b-b-b-b-b-but what about iran".

Like I said, red herring perhaps. I didn't make the goal posts to begin with, so how could I move them?

Quote : as far as your new, shifted argument, what point are you trying to make? are you saying you were ok with the war under bush and not ok with the war under obama?

Quite the opposite in fact; people that weren't okay with war under Bush are suddenly content with it under Obama, or in the case of drone strikes, defending Obama for increasing them.

there was a biase segment on NPR tonight about this. Basically asking if its "legal" for us, "the gov", to go around killing people with drones.

Quote from CyberGuy : It's easy to blame Bush because he and his administration initiated all of this crap. Obama is trying to mop up the spill the best that he can.

Gotcha.

When does it stop being "Bush made me kill those dudes" and become "Hey, I like killing these dudes" for other than OBL?

Quote from Ryu-bom : maybe the OP should tell us how he feels... But he seem to made his feelings perfectly clear how a "suspected" teen kinda deserve to be killed by a preemptive house watcher. There is NO such thing as suspected in a PREEMTIVE assumption... FYI

Thanks ryu. I needed a little levity in my day.

Nothing like one of your disjointed, non-nonsensical, bullshit posts to give me a smile.

it doesn't matter who made the argument originally, just that you were on the losing side.

so you're more interested in just bickering back and forth with pundits/apologists than talking issues and policy? also, most people aren't defending obama for them, just rightly pointing out bush started them.
