President Allows For More Drone Strikes

Posted by 3kyleS on April 27, 2015 at 10:26am

President Obama secretly allows for more air strikes in Pakistan for killing terrorists. He said to the CIA that there were militants in Pakistan that posed a threat to the United States. Military intelligence confirmed that the rules for airstrikes have definitely been loosened by President Obama. The Airstrikes also occur in Yemen and also Somalia. The drone strikes are in two categories: Ones were the US military strikes against any group of militants and, where they don't require the presidents approval. These are called 'signature strikes'. The other are airstrikes that are missions where they target terrorist leaders on a 'kill list'. These have to be approved by the President. In 2013 the President wanted more signature strikes to cut down on civilian casualties.

Do you think that the president should continue these strikes? why or why not?

Do you think that the US should deploy troops? why or why not?

    I thin they could come back at us so we shouldn't.

    I don't think we should continue these strike because I feel like they will come back at us. If they do need to use the striking alarm our troops and other individuals to help keep our soldiers safe.

      I agree. Hopefully they dont retaliate against the US in the US because it would be bad.

    Yes I think that we should bomb them into submission and if we can defeat them with out the deployment of troops the better. and if we have to deploy our troops to get the point across then we should do so.

      I agree, if we cant bomb them into defeat then we should deploy troops and have the countries with the terrorist help along so that they will eventually be able to do it without US support.

    I think we shoud bomb the hell out of them as were doing. im surprised he has the cherrys to do it.

    I think that whether the president continues these strikes or not, he should make his people aware of them. When somebody attacks us and we think it's for no reason but he knows why, that won't be good.

    • 3kyleS > 1Kevin April 28, 2015 at 9:51am

      Yea, I agree. I think that he should be more open about his military policies and the things that they do in foreign countries.

    I think he should I dont really know why. I do not think we should deploy them.
