Drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) have become the signature weapons of the Obama administration's air strikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Predator and Reaper drones scout over the two countries launching Hellfire missiles into the region missing their intended targets, resulting in the deaths of many innocent people including children. San Diego is home to defense contractors General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, the world's largest and leading manufacturer of drones. General Atomics builds the Predator and Reaper drones.

This is a brilliant move - protesting General Atomics. Why not protest the Obama administration for USING the drones? Oh, that's right.....you can't protest Obama cause he's making changes that benefit everyone.
Protesting General Atomics is like getting pissed off at clouds cause they cause rain.
Why don't you folks protest General Motors cause they make automobiles that kill people?

CODE PINK? An anti unmanned aerial vehicle protest group? At first I thought this was a breast cancer fundraising group like Susan G. Comen for the cure. I think Drones were around before Obama was elected.
