There certainly are a lot of drone supporters coming out of the closet now that the White House has assured us that it’s OK to launch strikes on Americans abroad as long as they’re plotting something. Fox News contributor and former CNN anchor Rick Sanchez says he’d prefer a “questionable” drone attack — whatever that means — to an unwinnable war. Assuming you know in advance it’s unwinnable, that’s not really a gutsy call, is it?
@RickSanchezTV Um..the drone attacks are part of the 12 year war?

@RickSanchezTV 1) The attacks are *part* of the ongoing war; 2) It's not just drone strikes; it's assassination of American citizens.

@RickSanchezTV The same left-wing that screeched over warrant-less wiretapping is suddenly okay with target assassinations.

@sunnyright You're right!

@RickSanchezTV Thank you. And don't think I missed the hypocrisy on my own side, either. But it's cruelly ironic.

The bottom line? Hooray for drones (for the next four years, anyway).
