We've only been policing the world since after ww2. America used to have a policy of not interfering with world affairs.
This is only a first step in automated military weapons also. Soon enough they will have drone trucks, drone tanks, and yes even drone cyborgs (on some terminator shyt) In fact im sure they already do have trucks and tanks that are remotely controlled.
It's like dealing with a bully, if you let them get away with the first thing, they will keep pushing and pushing. I for one welcome our cyborg drone overlords
at least thats what some of yall will be saying in 30 years

I can't wait until America elects a thin skinned tyrant at President who will abuse these powers.
I'm waiting for dikk riding all things Obama Melissa Harris-Perry to back the President on this.

What would this have to do with Obama?

He's justifying the unjust killing of American citizens.
Once that precedent is set, it will never go away.
The precedent has already been set, which is why Obama does what he does. Do you think he is the first president to target American citizens?

MHP is one of the worst Obama dikkriders out there, when she brought up kids being killed in the hood in an attempt to provide a sense of equivalence in relation to drone strikes I had to give her the
face.

Ummm, why is this chilling? I just wouldn't advise kickin it with american hating militants in Yemen, Pakistan or some other country where those thangs are known to drop 
Regardless of a President ever targeting America citizens, this memo and others that have not been released are attempting to make it LEGAL to kill American citizens.
This debate should be occurring in the court system (judicial branch) but since it would never fly there it is happening in secret by executive branch lawyers.

You think those deemed as an "imminent threat" in the future will remain being Americans cool with Pakis and co.?
"Imminent threat" will have an elastic definition as we move towards the future.
it's always been legal. Has any president or administration ever been arrested for killing american citizens?Obama is just the first admit it. And that's only cause they can't hide it anymore.

I'm going to feel a certain way about this. I grew up with a man who was a journalist deemed an "imminent threat" by his local government and blown up by a letter bomb.

So forgive me for thinking that this shyt will only get worse and the definition of an "imminent threat" becoming awfully subjective depending on who is power.
