Today, al-Awlaki, one of the 10 most wanted, is dead.
(I won't link to them, but Fox News cannot give Obama any credit. Their headline is CIA Directed Strike That Killed Al Qaeda Boss Anwar al-Awlaki.)
Maybe you heard...Bin Laden.. dead.
al Qaeda chief of Pakistan operations, al-Shahri... dead.
The deputy leader of al Qaeda, al-Rahman... dead.
The number 3 commander... dead.
All of al Qaeda's Iraq leaders... DEAD!
The list goes on...!
Remember when Rudy Giuliani warned that electing Barack Obama would mean that the U.S. played defense, not offense, against the terrorists?
If this is defense, what does offense look like?
-Jake Tapper
Terrorists were just so wiley under Bush... or they didn't really matter as W repeatedly said he didn't spend much time thinking about individual terrorists.
Under obama, they just.... dead.
Not like I'm keeping score or anything.
You would think Republicans would AT LEAST agree with liberals that terrorists should be killed... but no dice.
But under the old adage if Obama is for it, then I'm against it no matter what, they complain that Obama kills TOO MANY TERRORISTS.
They will even go as far as DEFENDING THE TERRORISTS that Obama killed! (Yes, that was Rush Limbaugh, conservative demigod, that said that.
How many terrorists does he have to kill before the GOP admits that Obama knows what he's doing?
9:47 AM PT: Guys, seriously. You think a progressive site would at least give some kudos to our commander in chief for beating the GOP at what they claim is their own game. But to the idiot commentor that defended al-Malaki as a US citizen who died without due process... please defect to the other side. I have enough trouble getting progressive votes without sabatoging ourselves. I expect this stupidity from teabaggers.. not you.
This is war without boundaries and an enemy with no code of conduct. It was a lawful kill: if a terrorist is an American citizen, then he can be taken out as long as the president gives explicit permission to do so. Please don't become stereotypes of whining pansies mad at the big bad military for taking down an unarmed OBL without due process. You are pathetic and the reason we lose because the other side paints us with a broad brush.
