The U.S. president requests that his advisers draw up 'baseball cards' with pictures and biographies that he pores over to see who should live and who should die. As part of the bizarre ‘nomination’ process he then retires for personal reflection to work out whether or not to order a drone strike to take them out. Read more: [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16938153 No, actually you may be the smartest guy in the room. I would hope the president would be involved and not leave it up to the military or the CIA. Someone should be watching those guys. Besides, you know the saying the buck stops here. When they screw up, who gets blamed? The president. Ever notice when someone in the government screws up the headlines always say Obama's cabinet member did this or that? Like he's responsible for everything that everyone in the government does. Actually, Bush had it right when he said he was the decider. |

Times: The President is intimately involved in who is and isn’t targeted by the drone strikes, maintains his secret kill list New York Times reporter Scott Shane told PBS Newshour on Tuesday about the President’s involvement in U.S. drone strikes against suspected terrorists in Yemen and Pakistan. Quoting: Cat Mouth Shane and fellow New York Times reporter Jo Becker revealed details about Obama’s so-called “kill lists” in an article published Tuesday. The President is intimately involved in who is and isn’t targeted by the drone strikes, according to the reporters. “We were very interested to discover that President Obama deliberately took a very central role in this program,” he explained. “He insisted on reviewing names that were going to be named to the so-called kill or capture list. And he has approved all strikes outside Pakistan and many of the more riskier, complex strikes inside Pakistan since he became president. Instead of wanting deniability and wanting to keep at a distance from this lethal program, he actually wanted to be very much part of it.” [link to www.rawstory.com] "Secret Kill List" is ILLEGAL and violates Geneva Convention. It is ILLEGAL in the United States, violates Posse Commitatus and countless other laws and is a WAR CRIME to use drones and/or 'secret' assassination. |

His entire administration in DC is lawless. They are all covering for one another, because they know they won't hang separately... they'll hang together. But there will be no enforcement of the Geneva Convention or the U.S. Constitution, until the people, and the betrayed Armed Forces of America, stand together. |
