Obama's Drones kill another American
Weinstein, who was based in Washington’s Maryland suburbs when he wasn’t abroad, was promoting farm and dairy improvements in Pakistan as a contractor for the U.S. Agency for International Development when he was kidnapped by al-Qaeda in 2011. The White House said Thursday that Weinstein and an Italian hostage were killed in January during a U.S. attack on an al-Qaeda compound along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan.

President Barack Obama’s expression of remorse on Thursday for the death of two hostages in a U.S. drone strike underscored one of the great frustrations of his presidency: His dream of extricating the U.S. from messy foreign conflicts remains just that.
Obama pledged in his 2013 inaugural address that “a decade of war is now ending,” but the numbers suggest otherwise.
The U.S. takes regular lethal action in at least five countries. U.S. troops are deployed in three conflict zones. And America is directly involved in a pair of Arab civil wars.
As always, Good job!
