American drone planes have killed thousands of people. Drone attacks have been widely reported. And, now members of Congress are invited to the White House to view drone snuff films. So why is the drone program classified “secret”?
Trade-Offs
•
Many women plan to vote for Obama because he supports abortion rights, even though they deplore his drone assassinations and wars. What other trade-offs can Obama offer to light-on-integrity pseudo-progressive voters?
The Ultimate Crime
•
Congress is investigating to find out who leaked the story that Obama has a secret “kill list” of political assassination targets, and that the U.S. conspired with Israel to infect Iran with the Stuxnet computer virus, to the New York Times. Shouldn’t they be investigating those activities, which are crimes, instead?
Rodney King, RIP
•

Slow Day at the Editorial Board
•
When news gets slow, print media editors publish pabulum urging Americans to stop and smell the non-digital roses.
Take My Occupation Army…Please!
•
As the U.S. considers “helping” the Syrian rebel army, Syrians can look across the border to see what a country looks like after the U.S. “helps” it.
Mini Drones
•
U.S. troops will soon carry six-pound “Switchblade” drones, a new generation of remote-controlled weapons whose tiny warheads can kill enemy soldiers with pinpoint accuracy. How small can we go?
The Commander-in-Chief
•
Suicide has become the number one cause of death for active-duty U.S. military troops, outpacing killings in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Bad Santa
•
Barack Obama has a list and he’s checking it twice: a “kill list” that he personally reviewed in order to decide whom he wants to assassinate, according to The New York Times.
Burn It Down
•
Granted, Obama isn’t doing anything to improve the economy. Rather than watch it slowly disintegrate, perhaps we should just get it all over with and let Romney burn the bastard down.
