lol.. it's noted you give Biden a pass on this but hold Bush and Trump accountable.
Obama did so badly ( Brennans kill list) in his droning of Pakistan, their Parliament passed a law against ALL drone strikes
Signature strikes must be banned for all

Wrong as is usual for you. I gave no one a pass, and your attempt to blame Biden (one strike) and Obama (trump used signature strikes twice as often in his 4 years as Obama did in his 8 years in office) for the actions of your gawds bush, and trump, is the usual trait you use. In fact, you have no other and you fail to mention that it was bush that first used drones in airstrikes. But one does not expect anything else from your kind of ignorant partisanship.

I mentioned Bush. I said he did a few but was too busy launching land wars to signature strike

Nobody know the number of signature strikes -they are classified. only the total number of drone strikes
I criticize Trump/Obama/Bush/Biden - all of them

At least Trump killed Soleimani and Baghdadi.
Biden has only killed kids and got US forces blown up

Drone assignation is brilliant on par with the torture that the CIA loves so much.

We have been so fucking stupid.

We have earned what is coming.

Buckle Up.

Drones are needed and legit. It's the targeting ( or lack of it) which is problematic.

We all ( bipartisan) should share your sentiment and condemn what is a 'shot in the dark'
by not affirming the target

No, most informed people believe that after 911, we had to stop the ones who planned it and remain to prevent further attacks.

That plan worked for 20 years.

What’s to stop more 911 attacks now?

You can leave the war on terror but the terrorists do not leave the war.

You are a fool.

If that was the case we would have invaded Saudi Arabia, not given them billions of dollars to further their terrorism.

We killed more Afghanis than the Taliban did. Look it up.

look it up where? what's your source?
For years we were warring against the Taliban, then we built the ANAF and they did the fighting
The last 18 months ( Trump) we were not even in a combat role

To be sure Im not saying we didn't kill Afghanis - we were in the middle of a civil war and an invasion by the Pakistan (TTP) Taliban -sure we did.

But we went in to clear them out as facilitators of al-Qaeda. we largely succeeded.
After 9-11 no attacks on the USA by Afghsn based /trained terrorists.

It's a complicated situation and doesn't lend itself to simplistic declarations.

Welcome to the board

And have done so in the past. Does the tali ever post their own body count ... probably not since many of them can't count that high.

It would help if you didnt snear down on non-western Muslims
