If they were in uniform fighting for the Iraqi army in 1991 or 2003 and we killed them it would not matter a bit (in terms of justification) that they happened to be “US citizens” who had gone over to the dark side.
The fact that they are waging illegal terrorist war out of uniform for shadowy jihad groups does not give them MORE protections than traitors who openly sign up for an enemy army.
Sure we would put them on trial if captured in the USA, but this was the wartime way to get at them and we took it. I applaud it most enthusiastically.

What happened to those old "Wanted Dead or Alive" posters? We used to see them often in the movies, especially cowboy movies.
Khan’s body parts wer easy to identify even as savaged as they were by the missile strike.
Samir over here, Samir over there, Samir legs, Samir arms...
Collateral damage ping...Just goes to show how cruel and heartless we are - wonder if the MSM will condemn Obummer for it...
A) Reportedly? Who reported that? Why is this stuff so hard to verify?
B)Just because he lived in Queens that doesn't make him a "Queens man" if he never became a citizen, does it?
Now, that’s funny !
I hear they just missed catching Barry Soetoro in that same car-chillin with these same two dudes. Like minded Americans do tend to hang out together in such exotic places.The timing of the drone was just off enough -or maybe there is a mole in the Brotherhood at the White House.
There's a reason for this, of course. The dirty little secret is that the Chechen separatist movement has had a lot of support over the years from influential people and organizations right here in the U.S. Do some research on an organzation called the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya. It was basically a lobbying group for the separatists here in the U.S., and a list of the names of its advisors and trustees included so many of the same "neo-conservative" A-holes who directed this country's military affairs and foreign policy during the Bush administration.
They changed their name to the American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus after the Beslan massacre gave Chechen separatists a bad name, but nothing has really changed.
Ping to #31.
I am amazed at how many people who I would consider to be informed do not remember Beslan. It’s the same with Rwanda, the largest massacre in the shortest period of time in human history. I think Rwanda is forgotten because Clinton and The UN knew it was coming and did nothing to prevent it. History would not want Clinton and the UN put in a bad light now would it.
I thought the world smelled a little better...
