@AdamSerwer And I'll repeat my prediction that first drone strike in US will be DEA in hot pursuit back across border from Mexico.
@stcolumbia Agree. Point is that 1) we've got lethal force in Honduras and 2) drones in MX. @NaheedMustafa @AdamSerwer

@emptywheel@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer Using missiles, bombs, would be a radical departure from LE standards, let alone within the US. -
@stcolumbia I agree. Note, too, I'm saying it's a hot pursuit back into US, not deployed here.@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer -
@emptywheel@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer If DEA and State CNTPO can't get authorities for airstrikes before I doubt drones change that. -
@stcolumbia Authority here or from MX?@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer -
@emptywheel@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer From anyone. No indication Mexicans wanna get bombed, or we (or DEA) want DEA in bombing business. -
@stcolumbia Well, there actually have been hints, and Pena Nieto seems more willing to have JSOC publicly onsite@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer -
@emptywheel@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer So that'd be JSOC then. And even when JSOC was in Colombia, Colombians did the bombing. -
@stcolumbia That's why it was troubling the DEA took the shots (not bombs, admittedly) in Honduras@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer - 6 more replies

@emptywheel@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer it'd be easier to arm the prop aircraft and helos than the drones if that's what DEA wanted anyway -
@stcolumbia And make for a more effective hot pursuit across the border.@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer

@emptywheel@NaheedMustafa@AdamSerwer OK, but those two things don't at all add up to a LE organization shooting missiles in the US.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
