Military Drone Attacks Are Not 'Hostile'

sanzibar writes "Not satisfied with the legal conclusion of the DOJ, the Obama administration found other in-house lawyers willing to declare a bomb dropped from a drone is not 'hostile'. The strange conclusion has big implications in determining the President's compliance with the law. If drone strikes are in fact hostile and the Libyan campaign continues past Sunday, he may very well be breaking the law."

    Ah yes, "faggot," the last defense of an American who hasn't had an intelligent thought since the day he was born. I guess all those cuts to your education system are finally taking their toll, your vocabulary is about as limited as that of some pre-teen playground bully.

    Don't worry, I don't cry for Americans, I laugh. I laugh when I hear the news that a bunch of your soldiers have been blown up by a roadside bomb. I laugh when I hear about some gang shooting in an urban hellhole where a few innocent bystanders get taken out by drugged up fools firing AK's from a moving car. I laugh when I hear that American armed forces personnel are killing themselves rather than spend another tour in a country where they never belonged in the first place. You know why? Because you deserve it.

    Karma's a real bitch, isn't it? You're getting what's coming to you, I couldn't be happier. Well, I could be happier, if you, say, enlisted for Iraq and got your legs blown off by an IED in Baghdad. 6000-7000 American service personnel dead just so that you could find Saddam hiding in a concrete hole with no WMD's whatsoever. As far as I'm concerned, that's an improvement. Less of your poison in the gene pool.
