This included 2 tribal leaders that were killed, and all of the victims supported anti-terrorism measures, so a big ouch for the U.S.

For some reason, I can't really believe any side regarding drone strikes due to no reliable eyes on the target afterwards. Bad guys are going to use psyche warfare, so are the good guys.

-a couple of bad guys killed along with several innocents?
-a genuine mistake hitting a gathering of people?
-a good hit on several bad guys?

I guess someone took it serious when it was said; "if any man knows of a reason this couple should not marry speak up now or forever hold your peace"

If they had just lived together in sin they would still be alive.

Everything that we've heard about this year has been a big "ouch" for the U.S. and it's because our government is run by incompetent dipsh*ts who wouldn't know enemy from foe if it slapped them upside the head.

Our government is going to get us bombed and our allies (who are currently extremely p***ed off at us right now because of PRISM) are going to sit back and laugh about it because they'll think we had it coming.

It's time this administration (everyone currently running any part of the government, this includes but is not limited to the senate, congress, the white house, etc.) is taken down and held accountable for their actions, enough is enough!

Do you think American's would tolerate China or Iran 'accidentally' bombing a wedding in San Diego or wherever? We're creating our own enemies, this is why they hate us.

Ah. You noticed!

We are not governed by our Brightest and Best. We scrape the bottom of the barrel for our leaders.

Yeah, well, the same crap happened under Bush, so I don't think the Republicans would be any better. Also, I like what the Obama Administration has been doing for the LGBT community, while the Republicans just wanna take us backward, so Republicans lose in my book.

I'm pretty disappointed that when it comes to matters of national security and foreign affairs, Obama has just been a continuation of Bush.

I don't think any specific party has any good measure in running the country right now, I think the best of both worlds should be in use, and the worst should be thrown out.
The problems we face these days were all started by bush (including PRISM), often continued by those with high enough rank to pull off covert ops without real authorization.
Obama has done some good, yes. I do agree there has been improvements here and there, but those improvements are quickly being put in jeopardy by this constant spying that our government is doing. It's rather sad that their actions are causing our problems these days.
