Certainty Test - Obama and the Drone Issue

Just out of curiosity.

I go back and forth on this issue; I would definitely pick #7.

That being said, it would just need a very few tweaks for me to not oppose it.

But not drones any more than boots on the ground. Seems to me boots on the ground and garden variety bombing and such kills far more innocent people than drones. But let's not let math get in the way of a good anti-Obama rant ffs.

than other methods. I think the current discussion about drones has to do with the fact that we do not have that math.
Show this math.

You can't do the mental work on this alone? You think a year of bombing is equal in life and property to a year of drone strikes? Honestly?
