as to why you support the killing of innocent people via drones on someone else. Looks to me like you don't care what the Pres does.

So give me your justification for killing people including innocent children with drones. nm rhett o rick Jun 2015 #52

No, the requirement is for you to provide the international law that was broken. stevenleser Jun 2015 #71

that isn't an answer...its a deflection with another question. Sheepshank Jun 2015 #102

So I assume that you support drone killing. Can you provide any justification at all? nm rhett o rick Jun 2015 #110

Clearly, you forgot to find out if Bernie intends to prosecute for war crimes if elected? Sheepshank Jun 2015 #111

I was discussing drone kills. You refuse to commit to whether you support Obama's position. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #112

ahh the committment/purity test? Typical tactic for deflecting Sheepshank Jun 2015 #114

If you wish to know how Sen Sanders stands on a certain issue, you are free to look it rhett o rick Jun 2015 #115

too bad you think tht asking for Bernie's stand is attacking Sheepshank Jun 2015 #116

Now I get it. You really do take stands on issues but keep them secret. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #120

of course you're done....Bernie has let you down. He won't prosecute war criminals Sheepshank Jun 2015 #121

I figure if you will not discuss issues I won't bother with you. Go try your silly rationalizations rhett o rick Jun 2015 #122

you are the one who raise the issue of prosecuting war criminals Sheepshank Jun 2015 #123

Do you think the president is authorized to unilaterally kill people he believes are members rhett o rick Jun 2015 #90

Al Qaeda has attacked us and the UN has designated both Al Qaeda and ISIS as criminal entities. stevenleser Jun 2015 #92

The UN confirmed that those groups are criminal entities. That does not authorize rhett o rick Jun 2015 #94

Once again, since the UN declared those groups criminals, it's not unilateral. Second, who says stevenleser Jun 2015 #95
