or from the partisan left who repeat that it was just a joke or sarcasm.

And?

 

[Minister of Truth]

So an unmanned drone controlled by remote controll is a battle?

Yep. Do you not consider bombing campaigns to be legitimate battles?

 

[Minister of Truth]

where does the constitution give the gov the power to bypass the law of the land during wartime?

Due process has to do with people who are jailed and/or charged with a crime. This was a military action in a warzone.

 

[Rune]

I don't consider a drone run from 1500 miles away targeting a car driving down the road to be a battle, but rather, an asasination.

back in the day, such things were illegal.

The Battle of Britain was a sustained bombing campaign launched by Germany against Britain. Was that not a WWII battle, but something else instead?

 

[Minister of Truth]

So there is no such thing as a war crime?

If there is, it has nothing to do with due process (properly investigating, charging, prosecuting, and punishing a suspect/defendent) and everything to do with Rules of Engagement and international conventions on warfare.

A better example might be the Blitz, which included unmanned rockets delivering explosive payloads to British cities.

It was an act of war, but certainly not a battle. For a battle to occur, there must be opposing combatants.

That did nothing for your argument. #2 fits the situation of the drone taking out the mutherfucker.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

I'll just have Jack n' Coke to make it simple.

Have you tried the new Honey Jack?
It's pretty good.

 

[Minister of Truth]

I will have to give it a swig.

No it doesn't. Both parties need to be fighting each other during the "battle", not just random enemies.

Furthermore, when did we declare war on Yemen?

Rather then run on emotions and feelings, why don't you provide something to support your "illegal" assertion.
That is, unless you're just blowing smoke out of your ass.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

So there is no such thing as a war crime?

Not in this case; but you go right ahead and spin this to your delight.

 

[Minister of Truth]

No it doesn't. Both parties need to be fighting each other during the "battle", not just random enemies.

Furthermore, when did we declare war on Yemen?

Did we declare war on France right before Normandy?

What war zone?

Does this make Obama a war criminal?
