No, it does seem to be the view of many Americans who find excuses for the imperial nature of the US Government.
Defending a drone program that operates in a dozen countries without a declaration of war as "fighting the terrorists" sounds to me like parroting the Pentagon talking points. What's a "terrorist" then? Anyone the USG says is a terrorist? Opens the door for unlimited aggression abroad if domestically Americans give it that type of cover.

I haven't defended any of Obama's drone wars in particular.
