Obama's wars

Take today’s lengthy article by Jo Becker and Scott Shane, which describes how Mr. Obama has placed himself “at the helm of a top-secret ‘nominations’ process to designate terrorists for kill or capture, for which the capture part has become largely theoretical.” He “signs off on every [drone] strike in Yemen and Somalia and also on the more complex and risky strikes in Pakistan — about a third of the total.”
–Andrew Rosenthal, today's New York Times

So then it's official? Yemen and Somalia too? In addition to Pakistan, of course,and is it over in Libya yet?

A lot of warring for a peace prize guy. But the Dems like it, I guess, because this time it's they who get to be the steely-eyed tough guys, stone killers.

I say it sucks either way. If we're going to have a war let's have a war. Otherwise stand down.
