Just trying to understand your definition of "good" deaths and "bad" deaths.. 4500 by Bush=Bad. 1800+ by Obama=not bad?

I never mentioned, or even alluded to, "good" deaths vs "bad" deaths. Did I?
But even had I done so, you're comparing apples to oranges! The aforementioned 1800 American lives would have not been lost, were it not for the original incomplete mission which cost 4500+ American lives. You can't have one without the other!
But let's set that aside for a moment and consider the following "drone" scenario:
But this thread is about Drones, so let's play out this scenario.
You must choose Option A or Option B:
We know that Option A could possibly result in a loss of 4500+ American lives over a 6 1/2 year period as well as the distinct possibility of an additional 1800 American lives further down the road.
Option B, let the Drones do the dirty work resulting in a minimal loss of American life.
Hmmmmm, that's a tough decision, isn't it?
