Obama Approves Expansion of War with CIA's Drone Program in Pakistan

The Predators and Reapers are operated by a squadron of pilots in Nevada and are equipped to drop Hellfire missiles and JDAM bombs, respectively.
The PREDATOR is an unmanned drone, originally designed for surveillance. It was later modified and armed with Hellfire missiles.

Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAV).

Since Obama has taken office he has authorized over 15 drone strikes in Pakistan.
July 24, 2009 - Obama signed Iraq and Afghanistan War Supplemental Appropriations amounting to $106 billion.
October 28, 2009 - Obama signed the $680 billion 2010 National Defense Authorization Act which includes another $130 billion to fund what his administration now calls overseas contingency operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
.
Of course Obama's spending spree is welcomed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems. They are the defense contractor that manufactures the Predator, and its more heavily armed version, the Reaper. War profiteers are going to welcome Obama's business, as each Predator costs $40 million.

With the deployment of an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan and the escalation of drone warfare in Pakistan, is it possible to destroy our economy any faster, than with the horrible foreign and economic policies we've seen from Barack Hussein Obama? Sure it is. Obama and Congress recently approved a $7.5 billion aid package for Pakistan in a bid to strengthen the civilian government there. When will the spending STOP?
