(51,550 posts)Obama is doing exactly what he said in 2008 he'd do: targeted surgical attacks against confirmed terrorist targets. You voted for him (I assume). Besides, it sure beats an all-out war like Bush did with Iraq and Afghanistan. And what Romney would do, i.e. with Iran. This is just self-destructive Obama bashing. What the hell else do you propose he do when we identify a dangerous terrorist determined to murder Americans? It doesn't make sense to go through the Congressional motions of declaring war against a terrorist. He's not a country. He's not a head of a country. It's no different than cops picking off a sniper shooting at people.
If Bush had done this instead of going into Afghanistan and Iraq, we'd have saved trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives.
