"Obama's focus is on the use of drones, which has been a signature policy of this president. The use of drones to target enemies abroad has angered several countries, primarily Pakistan and Yemen. Drones have also radicalised individuals in those countries and especially in communities where drones have killed innocent people.
The tactic has recently been the subject of heated debate in the US, leading to a Senate judiciary committee's first ever public hearing into the matter in April. Worse still, the US attorney general admitted for the first time on Wednesday that four American citizens were killed by drones in 2009 - at least one of those deaths had not previously been reported."
