Obama's War Crimes: The U.S. Drone War




  • Obama terrorizes innocent Pakistanis on an almost daily basis. The drone war he is waging in North Waziristan isn't "precise" or "surgical" as he would have Americans believe. It kills hundreds of innocents, including children. And for thousands of more innocents who live in the targeted communities, the drone war makes their lives into a nightmare worthy of dystopian novels. People are always afraid. Women cower in their homes. Children are kept out of school. The stress they endure gives them psychiatric disorders. Men are driven crazy by an inability to sleep as drones buzz overhead 24 hours a day, a deadly strike possible at any moment. At worst, this policy creates more terrorists than it kills; at best, America is ruining the lives of thousands of innocent people and killing hundreds of innocents for a small increase in safety from terrorists. It is a cowardly, immoral, and illegal policy, deliberately cloaked in opportunistic secrecy. And Democrats who believe that it is the most moral of all responsible policy alternatives are as misinformed and blinded by partisanship as any conservative ideologue.
  • Obama established one of the most reckless precedents imaginable: that any president can secretly order and oversee the extrajudicial killing of American citizens. Obama's kill list transgresses against the Constitution as egregiously as anything George W. Bush ever did. It is as radical an invocation of executive power as anything Dick Cheney championed. The fact that the Democrats rebelled against those men before enthusiastically supporting Obama is hackery every bit as blatant and shameful as anything any talk radio host has done.
  • Contrary to his own previously stated understanding of what the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution demand, President Obama committed U.S. forces to war in Libya without Congressional approval, despite the lack of anything like an imminent threat to national security.

    US Government Spying on More Citizens Than Ever Before

    "In fact, more people were subjected to pen register and trap and trace surveillance in the past two years than in the entire previous decade."

    Warrantless wiretaps have gone up more under Obama than Bush's entire term as President.

    Obama to pass elements of SOPA/PIPA as executive order.

    Obama to pass elements of SOPA/PIPA as executive order. - A must read.

    "The draft executive order includes elements of what had been the leading cybersecurity overhaul bill in the Senate, which was defeated this summer amid opposition from industries opposed to increased regulation."

    "A spokeswoman for the administration's National Security Council, Caitlin Hayden, confirmed that an order was being considered but would not provide details. "We're not commenting on the elements," Hayden said."

    This article is just full of all types of things that make you wonder why we even have a legislative branch if the President can with just a stroke of the pen sign provisions into law that obviously the public opposed relatively recently.

    How can we let this happen and continue unabated?  The simple answer is... we can't.

    SOPA, PIPA, & Internet Freedom

    I am happy to see what happened recently with the SOPA/PIPA protests that eventually got senators and congressmen to back down from their support of those horrible pieces of legislation. It makes me happy beyond belief that we can still make a difference if we all join together for a cause. This is the way it really works. Politicians rely on swaying the masses with their appeal and popularity, why do you think Obama is President in the first place? Without being able to convince us something they want is really "good for us" but in fact, detrimental to our freedoms and liberties, we said "no thanks".
