> President Obama inherited all of those "bad" things you mention.

I agree Obama is doing what the American people want, but he did not inherit all of these programs. E.g. he substantially expanded the program for drone strikes: http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2016/01/12/reflecting-o...



Drone strike programs will expand everywhere for the foreseeable future, regardless of what Obama did.

They're a nearly ideal weapon. There isn't a military on this planet that would not choose to employ them over almost any other tactic.
