Obama’s latest persona as “drone warrior” to “look tough” – Krauthammer

EXCERPTS:

Barack Obama shuffles “baseball cards” with the pictures and bios of suspected terrorists from around the world and chooses who shall die by drone strike.

He even reserves for himself the decision of whether to proceed when the probability of killing family members or bystanders is significant.

This was no leak. This was a White House press release. Why? To portray Obama as tough guy.

 

Drone attacks are cheap — which is good. But the path of least resistance has a cost. It yields no intelligence about terror networks or terror plans.
