Top U.S. General: Drones are "Failed Strategy" That "Cause More Damage" 
------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
President Obama's former top military intelligence official has
described the administration's reliance on drones as a "failed strategy"
that creates more terrorists. In an interview with Al Jazeera, retired
U.S. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said, "When you drop a bomb from a drone …
you are going to cause more damage than you are going to cause good."
Flynn served as head of the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency up
until last August. Meanwhile, the U.S. reportedly carried out another
drone strike in Somalia Thursday targeting militants with al-Shabab.
