Truest statement of the week

"The United States hasn't declared war on Pakistan. The U.S. has no right to rain bombs down from the sky on this country that it's not at war with. This is against the U.N. charter, against international law, against the Constitution, and it's doing us no favor in Pakistan, either, as it's been enraging the entire country. This is Obama's war. He's increased drone attacks by 600 percent from Bush's pace. In Bush's last three years in office, the U.S. launched 39 drone attacks in Pakistan. In Obama's first three years, that number jumped to 241."
