‘ the proper international legal rationale for targeted killing is self-defense, not that the target is a combatant under IHL ‘

Pre-emptive assassination by remote control planes operated from 7000 miles away by an ‘out of control’ agency who will not talk about this hilarious killing to the people it is supposed to be serving democratically… now that’s some funny sh1t right there!
I get a feeling Brennan’s going to come out with some classic drone one liners as well this year… can’t wait… it’s all so funny.
I hope they do like a coffee table 101 best drone jokes edition next Christmas with hilarious photos like the ones below to give us all a good laugh while we watch CNN misreport on this hilariously inept foreign policy of mass murder from our lovely warm drawing rooms.

The Right of the People to Petition Their Government
I want everyone to know about a new petition on We the People,
a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, and ask for your support. Will you add your
name to mine? If this petition gets 25,000 signatures by January 31, 2013,
the White House will review it and respond!
This is a National, an International, and a local issue.
Please sign, put it on Facebook and Twitter. Time is running out.
If the petition gets enough support, the Obama Administration will issue an official response.
You can view and sign the petition here:
http://wh.gov/UKpQ
Below is the petition.
*End the DRONES…Stop the killing of children and innocent
civilians.*
The USA has Drone bases in many areas in and out of the US. There is
probably a Drone base near you. One is located in New York, near Syracuse.
The Hancock Drone Base must be shut down. Children are being killed in
Afghanistan and Yemen from bases close to us. This is a war crime and a
crime against humanity.
All Drone Bases must be shut down immediately.
The world will be a better place when we love the children in Afghanistan,
and all children, as much as we love our own.

The Onion is awesome. They always make light of the most serious issues, and make no mistake, the drone war is a serious issue. It’s good to laugh at the funnier sides of it however.
