re: #153 Dark_Falcon
It’s not like Obama didn’t signal his intentions before the election in 2008 either. He noted he’d go after HVTs across the border into Pakistan without permission.
The UAV program, which started under Bush, was greatly accelerated by Obama and has become far more effective and useful in the past couple of years to go after targets when we don’t have assets on the ground or don’t want to risk assets on the ground. It means we can strike at targets in Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, among others.
