quote: The New York Times is reporting President Obama personally oversees a "kill list" containing the names and photos of individuals targeted for assassination in the secret U.S. drone war. According to the Times, Obama signs off on every targeted killing in Yemen and Somalia and the more complex or risky strikes in Pakistan. National Security Adviser Thomas Donilon said, "He is determined that he will make these decisions about how far and wide these operations will go." Obama is also said to personally approve every addition to the expanding "kill list." Individuals on the list include U.S. citizens, as well teenage girls as young as 17 years old. The Times quotes former White House Chief of Staff William Daley about Obama’s decision to assassinate Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen, in Yemen. According to Daley, Obama called the decision to strike the U.S.-born cleric "an easy one." Since April, the United States has carried out at least 14 drone strikes in Yemen and six in Pakistan. Over the weekend, a U.S. drone strike in Yemen killed at least five people.

Secret ‘Kill List’ Proves a Test of Obama’s Principles and Will

They crack me up, the media and government officials always speak in a way that suggests members of government have morals, and concerns over innocent life.
 
What really upsets me is that we have gotten so comfortable with declaring wars and indiscriminately killing women and children anywhere that we choose to. We were upset with Bush jr. but we make not hardly a peep when Obama makes Bush look like a whimp when it comes to undeclaired murder in foreign nations. This will upset you more when you find out that the president does not need congress anymore to sign off on wars and killings. Listen and see where he goes to get his marching orders from. Hint, it is not the Constitution Of The United Snakes Of America anymore. Now you can see why the government is starting to make laws and turn on the USA Citizens. The other shoe is falling upon our heads next. Peace

Yep, so when it's time to reap what was sowed, there shouldn't be any crying from these people.

The main reason is favoritism/partiality.
