    Just want to say that even though some of them may actually be drug smugglers it is important to note that drug smugglers are still civilians and everyone suspected of such should be getting a fair trial, not extrajudicially murdered by AC130 gunships and bombers.

      So jaded I can only see liberals arguing that we shouldn’t be killing people whose intentions are unknown, then providing zero resistance if any sort of evidence that any of these people were actually drug smugglers is provided (fabricated evidence or otherwise)

        I’m thinking that’s exactly the strategy.

        “See? The boat was full of cocaine! We were right and protecting our nation!”

        Then ignoring that the penalty for selling drugs isn’t execution.

    “Shoot first and ask questions later!”

    People who seem to be staunchly against “thinking done by weaklings” seem to enthusiastically want “fighting done by fools.”

    Nerds rise up from your jock overlords.
