Obama flattens another terrorist asshole

[bluestateguy]

But I'm sure Lindsay Graham will find something to bitch about.

1. I don't know if Lindsay Graham will complain

But I certainly will. We're supposed to be a nation founded on the rule of law, and extralegal executions of anyone are anathema to such a society.

WILLIAM ROPER: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!

SIR THOMAS MORE: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

ROPER: I’d cut down every law in England to do that!

MORE: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!

Our protests against "terrorist attacks" or "acts of terror" sound pretty hollow when our nation is freely and indiscriminately bombing people and places on the off chance we actually hit someone we determine was our enemy after the fact. When the Devil we've unleashed turns 'round on us, what then? The laws aren't to be followed only when it's convenient; that is no law at all.

2. another dead al Qaeda #2

Bush administration used to put out these bulletins monthly.

So what? I wasn't impressed when Stupid did it, I am equally unimpressed now.

4. You think that doesn't create more enemies?

It's a serious question.

Do you really think this makes one LESS enemy of the U.S?

Or does it make create MORE enemies of the U.S?

Both cannot be true. You MUST pick one.

5. Another Orwellian "2nd in command"

Idiot Americans deserve the psy ops fucking they get.
