He may be a Euro-socialist whose economic and social policies (as well as many foreign policies and national security strategies) will drive this nation into the ground, but at least he’s willing to take heat from the left over the drones.
The latest hit occurred early this morning (eastern time) and reportedly left three targets dead. Let’s hope a big fish has suddenly reached room temperature.
