The CIA pressures Obama to step up indiscriminate attacks in Yemen

Just to be sure we won’t ever have to end our precious war (though the particular battlefield may shift around a bit, see below), let’s allow the CIA even more latitude in blowing innocent people up. In any case, you know those damn dirty Muslims will be plotting against the US eventually, so all we are really doing is just speeding things up a bit!
If I could convince my wife, I would be outta here in next to no time. It is not that Canada, New Zealand or Australia is that much better (they aren’t, or rather are only marginally better), but they are not working so hard to increase the likelihood of additional terror attacks while steadily eroding their citizen’s rights.
Of course, the ‘final’ battlefield will be right here in the US. Now that it is OK for the President to assassinate US citizens abroad, how much longer until he starts to do so here at home? Days? How much longer until the CIA is given authorization for ‘signature’ attacks here in the US? If you think I am insane, I hope we aren’t looking back in 5 years about how prescient I am! I would be happy to be wrong, but I lack faith that will be the case.
