House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-NY) on Sunday refused to confirm the existence of U.S. drone strikes in other countries, but later insisted that the unmanned flying machines were being used to “carry out the policies of righteousness and goodness.”

During an interview on CNN, host Candy noted that an analysis by the New America Foundation estimated that drone strikes have had an 17 percent civilian casualty rate since 2004.

FUCK THAT, asswipe! Fuck these idiot motherfuckers. Let's bring the hate to the voting booth, people!

[Autumn]

1. I delight in the hate I have for these bastards

"policies of righteousness and goodness." Fucking sick

[Angry Dragon]

2. Then I guess he would not mind if some "righteousness and goodness"

was sent his way

[think]

3. Peter King

[Solly Mack]

4. What a disgusting thing to say.

[L0oniX]

5. Christian drones ...wow ...whodathunkit.

[Comrade Grumpy]

6. May King's life be filled with righteousness and goodness.

7. I guess a 17% civilian kill rate is good news to the school of "the better of evils".

Much better than Hiroshima or Dresden.

8. I started singing "Praise the Lord and pass the

ammunition" as soon as I read this.

(in case it's needed)

[rhett o rick]

9. The sarcasm icon is always needed by some

esp me. I usually go around half-cocked. And not in a good way.

[TheKentuckian]

13. Since the level of threat is orders of magnitude less than Axis powers

and our enemy has no country, no navy, no air force, no army, no population centers, no infrastructure, no financial sector, and we declare anyone that might be able to shave that isn't of grandfatherly age to be a "militant" then it seems pretty bad to me.

[rhett o rick]

16. If you are saying that allowing our government to kill anyone, anywhere

with the rationalization that they are a terrorist is "pretty bad", I would have to agree. Heaven forbid that the Republicans gain access to this power.

[rhett o rick]

10. Lets hope his days as chairman are numbered. But are we disparging (and rightly so)

him for his sick support of drone kills, but not condemning the program? Do we approve of the drone kill project but not his rationalization?

[daaron]

12. Hell no. I don't approve of the program -->

but his rationalization is yet another LAST STRAW and wake-up call.

[rhett o rick]

15. Yes I agree. nm

[Gregorian]

11. Truly Orwellian. America has been invaded by the undead.

[Zalatix]

14. 17% of all drone-related deaths were civilian casualties? WTF.

How in the world can we support that crap?
