The point is that once again, O'Reilly is living in his own hermetically sealed world. The drone policy question was actually raised by MSNBC, and it was at MSNBC's instigation that the congress actually stepped up its demands for the WH's legal standing on the drones. Not that O'Reilly has ever bothered to do any research before...

Edward McDonald stated: "They gush and bat their lashes just thinking how wonderfully enlightened and progressive they are to have voted in a black leader."...Pure and simple "Dinosaur" thinking that you will only find on Bill O'Reilly Fox News. The majority of Americans viewed Obama as the superior candidate and he was elected to a second term. The world has moved beyond thinking like yours.

'Chemical Ali' got that nick name from his parents when he was in secondary school as he was so good at chemistry. Nothing to do with him bombing Kurdish villages and asphyxiating thousands of innocent men, women and children with clouds of poison gas. Oh, I forgot; the Iraqis had no weapons of mass destruction!

"If a Repub. president were killing people via drones the media would be crying about baby killing fascist....oh, a Dem. president is bombing innocents? SShhhhhh........." SPOT ON FalconFlash. Sad to say, but that truly is the long and short of it. It's becoming ridiculous. The left leaning press has its hands right down Obama's knickers. They gush and bat their lashes just thinking how wonderfully enlightened and progressive they are to have voted in a black leader. The smug self satisfaction is becoming unbearble to witness.

McNamara31--Good posts. Keep arguing for a sane and moral foreign policy. In that respect, Obama is a flop. That's why I opposed his reelection, he's no better than the neo-cons. Shameful to see some pseudo-liberals still doing verbal contortions to defend foreign wars. Easy for us progressives to see where Obama is going wrong when we read right-wing posters like eiramach backing him.

The Commentator: "it is the targets who should be vilified for their cowardly acts and intentionally mingling with the innocent citizens". So you want people to parade with signs "Kill Me Now". You're an utter fool.

So 'Chemical Ali' had no chemical agents after all and the thousands of Kurds were killed by weapons of mass destruction the Iraqis never 'really' had.

Smyrnian, falconflash Someday you will get past the "labels" and look at the facts. Bush got us into two wars and this administration is attempting to get us out with the least amount of American carnage. Yes, all people do not want any "innocent" civilians hurt, but did you every think about the number of innocents killed with Bush's "Shock and Awe" bombing campaign of Iraq? A. the Oxford Research Group, attributed approximately 6,616 civilian deaths to the actions of US-led forces during the "invasion phase", of the shock-and-awe bombing campaign on Baghdad. Now we know, Iraq was a Bush war of "choice" (no weapons of mass destruction) Afghanistan was the was we had to fight because of 911. And Obama is carrying these wars left to him in the most strategic intelligent way. Instead of the Bush/Cheney bomb first ...think later, pay for much later.

Bill here's the real story about drones. The cost of war on soldiers 6630 deaths.....Total Troops Killed in Iraq:4474,Total Troops Killed in Afghanistan: 2156. Deaths by year, before increased drone activity, and after 2003:531, 2004:900, 2005:942, 2006:918, 2007:1019,(after increased drone activity) 2008:466, 2009:461, 2010:559, 2011:469,2012 305. Drones are saving American lives until we can withdraw from wars in the middle east.
