Al-Qaeda has no better friends than Congressional Democrats.

Background on the Kucinich/Conyers Amendment from The Hill. . .

Reps. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) are pushing legislation that would roll back a recent White House decision to expand drone strikes against terrorist targets around the world.

The legislation was introduced as an amendment to the House version of the 2013 defense budget bill. House members plan to bring that amendment and others up for floor debate on Thursday.

If approved, the amendment would block members of the Pentagon’s secretive Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) from carrying out unmanned airstrikes under newly rewritten White House authority on those operations.

Specifically, the amendment would stop JSOC members from participating in combat operations “in which an unmanned aerial vehicle is used to attack a target who’s identity is unknown or is based solely on patters of behavior.”

The Kucinich-Conyers legislation flies directly in the face of the Obama administration’s decision to execute those types of airstrikes, particularly against suspected terror targets in Yemen.
