United Nations claims that US predator drone attacks may violate international law

  President Obama has increased the use of predator drones in the middle east in order to attack suspected terrorists. The leftists in the government have portrayed this as Obama’s smarter strategy for combatting terrorism, they have used this to separate Obama’s war strategy from Bush’s war strategy. There is only one problem with Obama’s predator drone strategy– according to the United Nations the predator drone attacks may violate international law.

  I guess that this makes President Obama a war criminal, after all he is violating international humanitarian and human rights law. He won the Nobel Peace Prize, how can this be? Certainly if these accusations were made against President Bush the left would feign outrage and concern over his lack of caring for international law.

  But seriously, if I were President Obama I know what I would say to the United Nations– go pound sand. I am not the president however so it will be interesting to see how Obama reacts to the news that he may be violating humanitarian and human rights law. The president should come out in defiance of the United Nations but knowing Obama’s love of this American hating organization I doubt that will be the case.

  Will Obama put the will of the United Nations ahead of the protection of the people? That remains to be seen. Will he call off the predator drones because the United Nations doesn’t approve of the attacks? I certainly hope not. When we have these terrorists in our sights we cannot let them go, we need to use whatever means necessary to take these men out. Just ask President Clinton how it worked out when he refused to kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance.

  Hopefully President Obama will keep up the increased predator drone attacks, hopefully he will not take his eye off of the goal in an effort to appease the United Nations. He would do well to remember that he is president of the United States but we have already seen that he is all too willing to work with the United Nations. I hope that he draws a line in the sand on this issue. I just don’t trust that he will.

  I hope that his loyalty lies with the United States and not with the United Nations. After all, he has been flying across the globe apologizing for America, calling us arrogant, and promising to restore our standing in the world, this news certainly can’t help the image that he wants to portray.
