You all know what I'm talking about, right? There's a bit of a debate about this. One the one hand, people are a little upset that the Gummint is slaying one of its own citizens, without a trial. On the other hand: terror!
I just don't know. I wonder if this was an issue during the Civil War. You know, the Gummint killed, via the US Army, lots of its own citizens. But it was a war and they were on the other side.
But was there a declaration of war? I don't even know. The Union position was that the CSA wasn't a "real" nation, it was just a bunch of parts of the USA that were misbehaving. So would the Confederate Army, in today's legal framework, be considered a "real" army, or "illegal combatants?" They did wear uniforms...when they could afford them.

Also, re the title: if Obama "got" Bin Laden, he "got" this guy, too, right?

We got both of them. I have no issue with either of the deaths. And I don't really need to hear the whining of people who do. These people were at war with America, and we killed them. That's what happens in war.

Who did Obama kill this time, anyway? I have been out of the loop for a couple weeks.

Some kid from Las Cruces, New Mexico, named Al Awlaki, I think?

I should have said, "What has Obama killed lately, besides consumer confidence in the economy, and hope for things to get better?"
Because it seems like those are also things that he has killed.

Paul says may be impeachable offense.
Disagree, completely.

In the navy when the captain loses a ship for whatever reason, there is ALWAYS a court martial to get the facts straight.
With this administration, "Trust us, he had it coming" doesn't go far with me.
