Under Obama, Men Killed by Drones Are Presumed to Be Terrorists

Article here. Excerpt:
After interviewing dozens of current and former White House advisers, the New York Times breaks a lot of news in its story on President Obama's secret kill list, perhaps none of it more jaw-dropping than new details describing how the U.S. now calculates the number of innocents killed by our drones. What innovative method did our Nobel Peace Prize-winning president implement?
"It in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent," the newspaper reports. "Counter-terrorism officials insist this approach is one of simple logic: people in an area of known terrorist activity, or found with a top Qaeda operative, are probably up to no good."

Could this appropriately be
Could this appropriately be called a "war on men"? Man = terrorist. Terrorist = enemy.
remember
who the kenyan has called terrorists in this country. you and me. this is military creep into our society just like socialists/commies always planned. the frog in the frying plan analogy really works. step by step, inch by inch, degree by degree. drones overhead anyone? armed drones overhead anyone? armed drones attacking domestic terrorists?
you mentioned the wow. i believe the war on women is nothing less than a preemptive strike to keep those deciding where spending cuts happen off balance. most federal $$ that could be cut is spent on women. we already know there are no program$ for men. so when the attempted cuts start (v.a.w.a.), they will have to hit women hardest, because their hand is deepest in uncle sugar's pocket. now they are gutting the military, mostly men. no screaming. just wait until they try to cut womens' programs like welfare, college, and the myriad of other handout programs.
