[QUOTE="texan, post: 979910, member: 38206"] A report by the New America Foundation “The Year of the Drone,” gives lie to the claim that, unlike Bush, Obama was willing to use drones to kill our enemies inside Pakistan. The report shows that between 2004 and 2008, the Bush-Cheney Administration launched 42 individual such attacks compared Obama’s 53 in 2009 and 118 in 2010. There is no question of an uptick under Obama that is more likely to be a function of advances in technology than any other factor. If the charge is that Obama used drones and Bush did not, that charge fails. If anything, it is another example of Obama’s [U][B]carrying on policies in place when he took over.
