US KILLS Anwar Al Awalaki in Yemen

[GeoFisher]

Obama should not get any credit for this. whether you liked bush or not he is the one that took it to them. Obama is just a pawn trying to get re-elected. You shouldn't be potus unless you have served. That should be in the constitution.

He could have easily cowered in a corner, and STOPPED all the programs that are keeping us safe.

I'm CLEARLY not an Obama supporter, but in this particular case, he is doing a pretty decent job.

AND for a pawn, he's been doing this since day 1. I don't know how you cannot possibly see that.

Again, I'm not SUPPORTING him in any way, and I don't like him, but that doesn't change the fact that he has been reasonably successful taking it to the enemy.

Mean while, back at the ranch, Nobama is also killing all of us here on our own soil...stocks are at their lowest level since April of 2009, 40% chance of sliding BACK to where we were when the financial melt down began...so much bad news at home....not to mention the debt woe's, Oh the DEBT WOE'S...my gawd man!!!

George I feel your dislike for Nobama, pretty much all the fishin.com regulars know it too...my hat goes off to anyone who can give Nobama any positive credit when all I see is so much negative associated with him.

The US ordered a strike in Yemen that killed this scumbag piece of GARBAGE.

Even though he campaigned against nearly every tool he is currently using to fight terrorism.......I'm GLAD Barack Obama is still taking the fight to the enemy.

ONE thing that is good from his administration............about the only think I can think of but none the less I AGREE.

There was a report this morning that an American born assistant of Al-Awalaki was also killed at the same time in Yemen.

Of course, one of the dumbest questions a news reporter can ask was also asked this morning..."Should the United States be allowed to kill other American born people such as Al-Awalaki?" What the #@!*&$ are they talking about?!! He is the man who was giving instructions to the dumbass that murdered the troops at Fort Hood. His assistant was carrying information and instructions to other terrorists for more planned bombings inside the United States.

Freedom of speech that sounds like it defends the enemy is hard for me to swallow.

God bless the people who killed those dogs.

And yet an american senator, who also has never served, says it was illegal.Sine OB became potus, we have filled the skies with drones, that kill our enemies.I'm a vet,but dont believe you need to have served to be president, The constitution is clear on that matter.If we ever take that decision out of any presidents hand,we will no longer live in a democracy.Many members of my family have served, and one has done two tours in afganistan and one in Iraq. I'mproud of our soldiers, they serve us, bbut lets hope it never turns the other way.

You may call it a dumb question, but I think it's good for it to have been asked and answered. Let it be perfectly clear that we are on firm legal ground.

[kygorski]

Torture has been as american as apple pie.If you doubt that, go back to your home planet!As for what he did, a part of the oath that we took says forign and domestic.He was acting in the best interests of our country.

I bet terrorist are squirming at the thought of Rick Perry being the next president.

#1 I think the mere discussion as to whether or not we have "legal right" to kill terrorists is absurd. I like the whole judge/jury/executioner role all wrapped up into one package when it comes to these guys that are proven terrorists. Hell, I'm in favor of more executions domestically when it comes to to crimes that are punishable by the death penalty...under certain circumstances where guilt has been admitted or proven well beyond a reasonable doubt. When guys get sentenced to death and then it is tied up in appeals for decades while we pay for their rotten asses to sit in prison, eat 3 squares, watch tv, and find religion before we kill them 25 years later it burns me up. In certain cases, I'm in favor of building an "Express Lane" to the Electric Chair, Firing Squad, or whatever method we're using.

#2 While I certainly appreciate beyond what can be expressed in words the job of our Military...and I certainly like a President who has served...I don't see that as something that must be a requirement. The Constitution is pretty clear on who can be the President and I think that's fine. You might have the greatest President the world has ever seen being born right now in a Hospital with a physical disability that prevents them from serving in the military...doesn't mean that they shouldn't have the right to run and be elected.
