In reply to the discussion: Bipartisan Resolution to Compel White House to Release Legal Justification for Drone Strikes [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)45. He wasn't in charge then? All the killings were due to someone else? He was singular.
when he died, it died with him.
Too bad an unmanned drone didn't strike him down before the 15 plus million died.
Even if there were a few collateral, well, 15 million minus say 50 collateral equals
14million 999 thousand nine hundred and fifty people still alive.
I like those numbers.
NOthing is spot on perfect in real life, as humans are not perfect so perfect is out
But an unmanned drone gets the job done with the least amount of human loss ever created.
Isn't the idea to save soldier's lives?
