I'm guessing the speech was purely a response to the pressure put on him for his drone policy but I'm not convinced that there are much better solutions. The problem I see is that there is so much uncertainty and ambiguity involved with the drone strike selection process that it would be nearly impossible to create strict guidelines that would end up being reasonable. I see that as more of a reason for the inconsistency than purely empty rhetoric.
I don't know....both sides of this issue have legitimate points...
