What I'm wondering is, like the innocent bystanders in other countries, will innocent US bystanders be considered enemy combatants if they are merely in the drone's kill zone?
And, of course, as Charlie points out, refuting the official caveat that the whole idea of the possibility of ever having reason to make a strike on US soil is absurd ("entirely hypothetical")...
Do we really have to go down the list of things that were "entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur" and ones we hoped no president would ever have to confront on September 10, 2001 that are now merely business as usual?
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
I do, however, disagree with Charlie's suggestion that Obama is a sucker. I don't think he's bargaining from a sucker's position. He's simply a Republican calling himself a Democrat. It will be up to Democrats to reconcile how two Democratic presidents dismantled the country's social safety net. I'm sure they'll have no trouble, though.
