Graham: ‘I´m Totally Supportive
of the Administration´s Rationale
on Drone Strikes’

Cybercast News Service, by Christopher Goins

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 2/7/2013 11:42:00 AM

Washington – Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he´s completely supportive of the Obama administration´s reasoning behind drone strikes on terrorists on foreign soil, even those who are American citizens. When asked by a reporter on Wednesday if he was "comfortable with the administration’s rationale on drone strikes," Graham said, "Yes, I´m totally supportive of the administration´s rationale on drone strikes." According a document obtained and reported on by NBC News, American citizens can be targeted and killed by the U.S. government if the person is believed "to be a ´senior operational leader´ of al-Qaida or ´an associated force´"

Comments:
Really Miss Lindsey?? With friends like this who needs enemies. Un.be.lievable.

Americans who take up arms against America are no longer citizens.

Put Lindsey on the drone strike list.

Maybe I´m missing something, but what´s the problem here? You´re really against drone strikes in foreign countries against American traitors? I´m fine with this.


Reply 4 - Posted by: IRC, 2/7/2013 12:07:43 PM     (No. 9163755)

The problem is that these so-called "traitors" have not been charged with anything, much less found guilty.

Yes, I do have a problem with this president, (or any pother), being able to just execute anyone, on his whim, with a nod of his head.

Yes, I absolutely have a problem with that.

I´ve thouhgt Graham was a buffoon ever since I first saw him during the ill-fated Clinton impeachment hearings, where he reminded me of Huckleberry Hound! Have to admit I agree with him here, though.

Would other posters have disagreed with a drone strike on John Walker Lind had he not been captured? Really??

Good riddance to those who embrace Islamic terrorism, no matter their nationality!


Reply 6 - Posted by: strike3, 2/7/2013 12:16:33 PM     (No. 9163783)

With a real man in the White House I could agree with the rationale but this pResident considers people like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck terrorists and has said so. That I´m not okay with. If you don´t agree with the kenyan, he can slap any name he wants on you.

Just like bill clinton, obama takes every liberty with his definitions.

Thank God, Texas passed the anti-drone bill.

Ms. lindsey is totally supportive of EVERYTHING Obama does. It´s just that sometimes, he lets on like he´s not. Got to keep the stupids in line, you know.

Of course you do, you traitorous Progressive RINO. At least ask who decides who is on the kill list... Is it the state dept or the muslim brotherhood? Are we killing our enemies or enemies of the muslim brotherhood?


Reply 10 - Posted by: Philipsonh, 2/7/2013 12:45:11 PM     (No. 9163860)

The most obvious problem with this policy is that the drones kill indiscriminately. They are bombs and they don´t just strike the intended target. They kill civilians, women, children, strangers, passers-bye, you name it.
What legal right does the Government of the USA have to injure or murder people who have no terrorist relation to the specific target. Some may be relatives,friends,acquaintences,
or just innocent people nearbye the "target".
I find this action despicable. Bomb a vehicle with a suspected terrorist and kill 3 other people who have nothing to do with terrorism.
That is no way decent way for a society to act. Unless you are Jay Carney, reporting for
The President, and the rest of the patriotic
cretins running the show. All my opinion.
These people are not citizens of Countries we are at war with. The Government of the U>S> has not declared war. This is murder by association. I do not believe that we have the right to kill or main innocents, even children. That´s why car chases in the U>S>
by police are often called off. The risk to innocents is too great. Obviously, overseas
we can kill anyone we please whether or not they are intending some hostile action against the U>S> and it is escalating the hatred of the U>S> by the populations of these Countries where the Drone strikes are occurring. I believe that it is causing more harm than good. As I said, just my opinion.

It´s okay for Obama to decide whom to kill with drones, but it´s cruel and unusual punishment not to pay for prisoners´ sex change operations?

Just a tip for Lindsey - I read law under your pals the Wilkins brothers...

Interestingly, when I read it - there was still a thing called ´Due Process´ that held sway over *ANY* ´judgement call´ on the part of politicians.

You - being my home boy - should know this.

I heard John Bolton say something similar on Fox last night. Kind of shocked me. He was arguing that Obama is following the Bush Doctrine on this.


Reply 14 - Posted by: tedinmich, 2/7/2013 4:13:21 PM     (No. 9164306)

Hey posters who disagree with and insult Lindsey, what do you have to say about Bolton agreeing basically with Lindsey?

Lindsay is a Chicken Hawk´s chicken hawk.
He has no redeeming features.
South Carolina should be ashamed, but they keep electing him.

What #2 said. Graham is a knucklehead.

The Senate voted down an amendment to the upper chamber´s immigration bill proposed by Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) that would require a full biometric visa tracking system placed at every land, sea, and air port of entry in the United States before legalized immigrants could receive green cards. The measure, which was also called for by the 9/11 Commission in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks, would establish a biometric exit-entry system. Gang of Eight member Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) told Breitbart News last week

The immigration reform bill drawn up by the Senate Gang of 8 would boost the economy and lower the deficit, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says in a report out today. The newly released, and highly anticipated, report from the government’s nonpartisan bookkeeper comes as the Senate debates the bipartisan immigration legislation offered by the Gang of 8 and the House moves forward on a more piecemeal approach. The report, “The Economic Impact of S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act,” says overall the legislation

NEW YORK — The New York Police Department´s widespread spying programs directed at Muslims have undermined free worship by innocent people and should be declared unconstitutional, religious leaders and civil rights advocates said Tuesday after the filing of a federal lawsuit. "Our mosque should be an open, religious and spiritual sanctuary, but NYPD spying has turned it into a place of suspicion and censorship," Hamid Hassan Raza, an imam named as a plaintiff, told a rally outside police headquarters shortly after the suit was filed in federal court in Brooklyn.

While the controversy over the National Security Agency surveillance program has dominated the news recently, concern about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations remains high and is inching up. Despite the large number of controversies engulfing official Washington, the number of people following the IRS scandal has actually increased in recent weeks. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 82% of voters nationwide are now following the IRS targeting story, including 44% who are following the story

Mixed-race people are more likely to be considered black by conservatives, who are subconsciously attempting to “justify racial divisions,” said the authors of a new government-funded study. The report, originally released earlier this month, has begun attracting criticism from those who see political bias in the results. The study was conducted by graduate students and faculty in the psychology department of New York University. Researchers asked participants to look at pictures of mixed-race people and say whether they

The Clintons are getting the old band back together again for one last geriatric tour. Hillary 2016. Because 22 years of Clintons dominating the Beltway isn’t enough. Her campaign slogan: “Vote for me. I am a woman. What difference does it make?” The Draft Hillary movement is really taking off. There hasn’t been this much excitement behind a Draft Hillary movement since, well, the last time there was a Draft Hillary movement. Remember that? Back in 2008? When she was the “inevitable nominee?” She was the “most electable” Democrat running? She was the only one who

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
