    The USA decided long ago that this was fine. See Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, Biden, and Trump.

    Thousands upon thousands of drone strikes, missiles, bombs, et al, at will, without regard.

    The CIA is black budget. None of us are aware of what they are doing, we only know some of what they did long ago, and that was horrifying. Most of congress is as oblivious as we are.

    These boat strikes are the least of it. The question to me is, why are they making this public?

      That’s the stupidest shit I’ve heard in a coons age.

      Only the Republicans on that list engaged targets outside a strike zone that Congress had already approved.

      Bin laden was already a pre-approved target, as was any AO he occupied

        Well, not exactly true for Obama… He’s famously criticized for a drone strike on a US citizen.

        Which is still nothing compared to shit that the current administration is doing.

      The CIA has only served the capital class at the expense of the rest of the world. They need to be dissolved. Nothing good has ever come from that agency.

        They used old fashion fluffy regular bombs and legitimate hardworking death squads to commit murders instead of evil drones…so point defeated I guess lol.
