CODE PINK to protest drone strikes in Pakistan...

[healthmyths]

and at what point does a person or a country defend themselves?
The point of the drones is to kill terrorists.
Terrorists that have a stated goal of killing Westerners.
That plain and simple.

said via an E-mail that Obama is
"worse than Bush in some respects; he uses drones significantly more than Bush ever did,
allowing him to carry out covert wars all over the world with zero accountability to Congress or the American public."

So again CODE PINK protests drones used to kill terrorists that have a track record and stated goal to kill westerners.
So why are they protesting a tool used to eliminate a threat to our lives?

Am I not understanding the fundamentals of survival here?

No, the point of drones is to instill fear in target populations. That's why the Obama administration employs the "double-tap" tactic and uses a second drone strike on mourners and those who come to aid the injured from their first drone strike. Not to mention that "target" is a bit of a strong word when it comes to drones given the high number of civilian casualties.

I'm glad to see they are finally speaking out against Obama given how outspoken they were with Bush. I do not think they should be in Pakistan protesting, why not in front of the WH? I hope they remain safe given what was said in the article:

Ahead of the protest march, the Associated Press notes that local press is buzzing with news of possible suicide attacks against the activists. The AP notes that a Pakistani Taliban spokesman denounced the march, saying "[we] don't need any sympathy" from "secular and liberal" protesters.

Do you recall who reported this? I haven't heard them speaking out against Obama and I pay attention to the news. Is this one of the things the media ignores since it might make Obama look bad?

Drones are terrorism. Drones are war crimes. They punish an entire population of people. How would you like to live in a place where at any moment, you could lose your life? You're going to church on Sunday and your SUV gets hit with a missle. First responders come to see if they can help the injured and they get hit with a missle. You have a community meeting in the middle of town and that gets hit with a missle. You go to bed at night, hoping your home doesn't get hit while you sleep.

We have absolutely no right flying around in the airspace of sovereign nations. In these cases, we're the terrorists!

Michelle Obama Lauds Anti-Military ‘Code Pink’​

April 11, 2012

Canada Free Press reports on a story that has been ignored by the liberal media.

The story concerns First Lady Michelle Obama at a fundraiser in San Francisco.

According to the Free Press:

During a fund raising trip to the Bay Area on March 30, the First Lady told CodePink co-founders to “keep up the good work”. Obama’s congratulations were reported only by the San Francisco Chronicle.
