Washington insiders are likening him to 'George W Bush on steroids'Does this mean he will have to return the Nobel Peace Prize he got for not being George Bush?

He was once a liberal law professor who campaigned against the Iraq war. According to revelations last week, the US president personally oversees a 'kill list' for drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan. Then there's the CIA renditions, increased surveillance and a crackdown on whistleblowers. No wonder Washington insiders are likening him to 'George W Bush on steroids'
Amos Guiora knows all about pitfalls of targeted assassinations, both in terms of legal process and the risk of killing the wrong people or causing civilian casualties. The University of Utah law professor spent many years in the Israel Defence Forces, including time as a legal adviser in the Gaza Strip where such killing strikes are common. He knows what it feels like when people weigh life-and-death decisions.
Yet Guiora – no dove on such matters – confessed he was "deeply concerned" about President Barack Obama's own "kill list" of terrorists and the way they are eliminated by missiles fired from robot drones around the world. He believes US policy has not tightly defined how people get on the list, leaving it open to legal and moral problems when the order to kill leaves Obama's desk. "He is making a decision largely devoid of external review," Guiroa told the Observer, saying the US's apparent methodology for deciding who is a terrorist is "loosey goosey".
Indeed, newspaper revelations last week about the "kill list" showed the Obama administration defines a militant as any military-age male in the strike zone when its drone attacks. That has raised the hackles of many who saw Obama as somehow more sophisticated on terrorism issues than his predecessor, George W Bush. But Guiora does not view it that way. He sees Obama as the same as Bush, just much more enthusiastic when it comes to waging drone war.

There are lots of different kinds of steroids.
Maybe...maybe nobama’s killing list has the effect of viagra on him, making him able to “tuck in” mooch-elle? Just surmisin’.
How did it happen?!? He grew up Moslem in a Moslem country.
Thanks MinorityRepublican.
Hmmm
Think about this:
A Commie-in-Chief with a Kill List.
I did not think there was any statement that would cause me to spew Jamesons's Irish on my key board and monitor. I WAS WRONG!

As I hope we all know by now (Freepers, I mean), Zero was never a law professor. Not even close. He was a lecturer. That position is not even in the same universe as a professor.
“I did not think there was any statement that would cause me to spew Jamesons’s Irish on my key board and monitor.”
Hmmm, that suggests it might be time for a glass of Bushmills really good Irish whisky...the Black Bush sippin’ variety :)
It is my understanding that Emperor Zero was simply a part time lecturer in Constitutional law. And not a well regarded one either, by his peers.
According to Obama and the MSM, waterboarding a handful of high-level terrorists for intel was the worst human rights atrocity since the Nazis.
But blowing up folks with Hellfire missiles from 20,000 feet up is just fine.
As in everything the RATS do, this is all "Symbolism over Substance."
Plus, if you kill them, then you don't have to take any prisoners which is a conundrum right now as O'Bummer would not know where to put them or what to do with them, and they would be a reminder that while we are "Not at war with Islam," they sure as hell didn't get the memo and continue their Supremacist and Global Jihad efforts at conquering the World and Destroying "Big Satan" (that be us; Little Satan is Israel) the ONLY country that stands athwart to their 1,400-year goal.
