Ron Paul was right. It's blowback.

This is not blowback. It's just a simple bump in the road.

towelheads will never stop killing until all non-muslims are killed, they're all soulless brainwashed ers and they'll do almost anything against us driven by the evilest religion ever. abandoning those military outposts in the mid east won't help better our security, instead it'll only stoke their evil desire to hurt us even more imho.

Pakistan Drone Study Finds 'Damaging And Counterproductive' Consequences From U.S. Policy

A new study conducted by law professors at Stanford and New York University contends that the U.S. use of drones to target suspected militants in Pakistan has had a "damaging and counterproductive effect" on the country and has killed far more civilians than previously acknowledged.

The study, which was released on Tuesday, relies on some 130 interviews with civilians living in the regions of northern Pakistan where targeted drone strikes have been most frequent. Working with the activist group Reprieve, the team of professors have added to the growing body of literature that argues, contrary to Obama administration claims, that numerous civilians have been killed, and many more traumatized, by the drone strike program.

"Drones hover 24 hours a day over communities in northwest Pakistan, striking homes, vehicles and public spaces without warning," the report said. "Those living under drones have to face the constant worry that a deadly strike may be fired at any moment, and the knowledge that they are powerless to protect themselves."

Relying on data compiled by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, the study's authors say that between 2,562 and 3,325 people have been killed in Pakistan since June 2004, and between 474 and 881 of them were civilians.

Imagine how pissed off NRA bubbas would be if MX was killing US civilians with drones trying to get drug lords.

True words and probably the most important words spoken this election season, but they will go ignored by the stupid American public, it's politicians, and corrupt media. Because arguing red/blue talking points are more important than the real truth. They hate us for what we do to them, not our freedom.

The Pauls both rock.

Rand wins in 2016 if:

*Rand gets early backing of Sarah Palin

* Rand gets early backing of Koch brothers

* Rand wins 2015 Iowa straw poll

You post all this and then conveniently neglect to mention the Democrat-controlled administration that is carrying them out in the same fashion as the previous administration.

Then you make some off-hand reference about "bubbas" that has nothing to do with what you posted.

How do you explain this? Why don't you go after the Democrats as well?
