Is this self parody? Sometimes I think he’s actually trying to piss us off:
In the official view of the Obama administration, it’s totally possible that the drone that killed Anwar al-Awlaki was owned and operated by the Yemen government.
The drone was Yemen’s? Seriously, that’s the excuse you’re going with?
We obviously have drones. We obviously use them to kill terrorists. The President is obviously OK with this. Regardless of what you think about those things, can we all agree that statements like the one above are just downright insulting at this point? And if we take it at face value (which obviously is stupid) wouldn’t it be a bit disconcerting that we wouldn’t know whose (non-existent) flying death robot blew up the guy we were (not) trying to blow up?
Head, meet desk.
