Drones are little planes with no man on board - they are remotely controlled (i guess even over miles!). They are equipped with camera so operator can see on the monitor screen what they see (however it's not a clear picture) and with missiles, so when operator pushes some button the drone shoots and -as AMERICANS use it against people-kills! Our country uses drones now overseas, but since many of our congressman get richer when the manufacturer sells more drones our government plans to have 30 000 drones IN OUR SKIES within next several years. here kYLE talks about survey saying that Americans do not mind it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MInw2AIAMRo&feature=context-gfa |

If the drones are being used by the military that would be a Constitutional violation. But then again, this administration really doesn't care about The Constitution. A Pesidential edict is all that's needed. Response to Re: Drones: i'm against killling people - esp. without a trial. Our country used to be a LAW-ABIDING country - and now it is governed by people with killer-mentality who, with the help of technology, target people and kill them with a keyboard click. Of course American taxpayers HAVE TO pay for that. Try not to pay taxes. I started that thread because Kyle (1st video) said that nearly 75% of americans don't know much about drones and that our government uses them to kill people. Mostly in Asia, but few were Americans, like 16 year old barbecquing boy. They plan to have 30 000 drones for domestic use to keep us better in cotrol. I believe they are buying them also to make someone richer. Posted by Astra2012 |

What's 'funny"---all presidents swear to defend CONSTITUTION when they are taking the office. And then they just do not care about it-and Americans have no way to hold them accountable, except through our "do nothing" Congress! Seems though that they sent a letter to Obama protesting the drones (I'm just sure someone gets richer from using drones!) Ron Paul talks about it 6/18/12) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqBQ8JNchsM&feature=g-all-f |

Posted by Astra2012 They couldn't capture that particular American traitor who was living amongst evil thugs elsewhere who has plotted before and killed other's ... and intelligence of several countries reported that he was plotting more. . Either we are at WAR ON TERROR where everything is fair and you shoot first or you sit back til another 911 occurs. People once complained about using PLANES that bombed in warfare instead of troops on the ground. This is no different...it's DRONES or TROOPS and why sacrifice our kids when we don't have to. Jihad wasn't invented by the USA. |
