Heh Holder, You WEASEL

Still can't be bothered to make a clear statement can you?

So in your opinion, Mr. Holder, it's perfectly ok if the President uses an M-16, a 9mm, a bomb constructed out of C-4 or burns the building you're in to the ground?

None of those things have happened before..... right?

He would have said "in the United States" if he meant it.

Blurtman Posts: 563 Incept: 2009-01-24 Banned	"engaged in combat" can be twisted to mean a lot. From the obvious, taking up arms against the US government, to consorting with such folks, to being merely suspected of being associated with such folks, to writing a critical blog, perhaps. ---------- I have a reading comprehension problem and the owner banned me for repeatedly displaying it after being warned. 2013-03-07 15:26:44 Permalink
Bertdilbert Posts: 2666 Incept: 2008-12-22 CA	The President is not authorized to use a drone because he is not qualified. However under this wording the president can authorize somebody else to do it. Left out is whether or not the Federal government can loan a drone to another LE for the execution of a drone strike. ---------- Dear Euroland: Relax, Germany has a plan for your money!

End_the_bubbles Posts: 9525 Incept: 2009-03-25 The New 3rd World	Yes, but if you listened to McCain's speech today, they CAN & WILL use weaponized drones on someone they define as an "enemy combatant." Of course, it's not explained how they define that. Note the use "not engaged in combat" in the paragraph. Basically, if American's assemble to ask for government redress, which is our constitutional right, by their definition - we'd actually be classified as "combatants" if asked to disperse. At that point, it would be open game. It seems to me they are terribly afraid of the people eventually rising up when the COLLAPSE OF THEIR MAKING inevitably happens. They'll just kill people to keep them in line and maintain their dictatorial positions. It's hard to watch this play out, but yet the majority of people don't see the chess moves taking place. These ***ing people in D.C. are criminal terrorists; yet most folks are obliviously playing along with this insanity..... ---------- In the long run even the most despotic governments with all their brutality and cruelty are no match for ideas. Eventually the ideology that has won the support of the majority will prevail and cut the ground from under the tyrant's feet and rise in rebellion to overthrow their masters.

Shannonlk1 Posts: 112 Incept: 2008-12-02 Raleigh	Its been proven already that the current administration will lie and then lie again to cover the first lie and even if they get caught they do not care. In this instance Holder yields to the fact that te president has no authority to kills Americans. But you can bet money if decided to take somebody out he will and lie about it, and nobody will call him on it. Period. He could murder someone on national TV and the public would be perfectly ok with it.and all the media would praise him for it. ---------- Criminals thrive on the indulgence of Society's understanding. 2013-03-07 16:16:50 Permalink
Homosapiens Posts: 6 Incept: 2013-01-06 COLORADO	Occopy was considered a "terrorist organization" In other words, raising your fist at wall street can be considered an engagement in combat and justify the use of weaponized drones (and more) to kill American Citizens on US soil! 2013-03-07 16:22:02 Permalink
