Try to imagine the hateful ignorance displayed by brainwashed crackpots like honeypot, such a person planted at the controls of the new kill a muzzie game the occupying US drone strike empire is obsessed with. The results are evident for all to see.
Unfortunately, the issue here is no different than when we had Nixon take political control of the Vietnam war and start bombing with political, instead of military, objectives.  He was warned about this but didn't listen.

Drones are of limited utility in warfare.  They are an attractive method if you do not have control of the ground or want a quick easy fix or something that seems like that.  You want to be able to put something on the mass media that makes it look like you 'are doing something'.

Just as the goal of a terrorist bomber is to get his carnage on the media, the drone is a tool to get the military's might on the media. 

This is a new thing.  It is not about winning a war, but about getting media time.
