Need to Know, September 14, 2012: Drones

Due to the drone strikes:

“The terrorist can’t sleep at night.”
“They have to dress as women and children to escape detection.”
“They can’t use their electronic communication devices.”
“They can’t carry on their normal lives.”

Wow life as a terrorist or their supporters is dismal, success!!!

Cry me a river …what about 911 victims…we should just nuke the whole region and be done with it!!!

It is naive, at most disingenuous to think the drone attacks is keeping America safe. On the contrary, it is making America dangerous at home, and Americans unsafe abroad.

I have a feeling that if that guy that can’t sleep at night would do just fine if he were to receive a couple of hundred dollars settlement.

Another educational program on drones and the difficulty and complexity of the issue.Your excellent journalism  gives us a greater understanding of both sides of the issue. I really appreciate your informative examination of the concerns.

Why, in the course of this segment did Need to Know fail to describe that fact that Islamic terrorists, have always violate the Geneva Convention on identifying their fighters by uniforms and other prescribed ways to insure they can be easily recognized as such within groups of civilians and non-combatant?  Further, their special modus operandi is to hide their identities by purposely mixing with and living among noncombatants in as close proximity as possible, knowing full well that this is their ultimate defense mechanism to avoid being attacked.  They then use the fact of any noncombatant deaths what may occur when they are attacked as a propaganda tool for the gullible worldwide who are too stupid to clearly recognize this cowardly method for improving the terrorist safety and creation of their falsified”safe havens.”

Why didn’t you ask in any of your interviews why the Taliban and Al Queada fighters don’t sequester their fighters into special forts or enclaves to segregate themselves from noncombatants, as all true arrnies of the past have done and still do today?  Why didn’t you further ask that if they didn’t sequester their fighters in such a manner, were they using this tactic purposely to involve innocent civilian casualties as a way of helping to maintain their own safety from drone attacks?

Why didn’t your report report also include an investigation, in so far as possible, to learn how and what the drone operators were doing in their attempts to avoid civilian casualties, knowing they must contend with these cowardly strategies and tactics on the part of the terrorists?

Finally, explain to me how you are any different than the typical reporting by the lame stream media?

America
has never and will never win a war that involves horses and/or camels; I challenge
any one to wear clothing with the American flag in any Islamic country. They will
beat to a pulp, can you blame them. There is not retribution, when 1 or 3 Americans’
are killed we’ll hear about it but we hardly ever hear about the innocent families
being killed and damage to their houses, how American is that, Stop the Drone attacks.

I don’t agree one bit with this complaints, why? They just want easy money, those lawyers are not different to some lawyers in America, and you know what? it’s their own fault! How? if this terrorist that move among the population were rabid dogs, people would run from them or turn around and kill them, if this terrorists were known to carry a deadly transmittable disease, people would put them where they belong; and if you want to see it this way, this terrorists carry death wherever they are, and you know it! Let us send more drones!
