Anwar al-Aulaqi gets new designation in death

Anwar al-Aulaqi (AP/Muhammad ud-Deen) U.S. officials have given Anwar al-Aulaqi a newly elevated designation on the day of his death by drone strike, describing him as “chief of external operations” for al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen.

The new title, cited by officials at the White House and the CIA, reflects Aulaqi’s evolution from Muslim cleric to alleged terrorist plotter, as well as a desire by American officials to persuade the public that the extraordinary killing of a U.S. citizen overseas was warranted.

U.S. officials also disclosed what they said were new details about Aulaqi’s operational role, saying that he personally had instructed a would-be suicide bomber who boarded a Detroit-bound plane in 2009 to detonate his device over American airspace to maximize casualties.

It looks like he also got a new spelling for his name. I’ve never seen it spelled this way before. Those crazy muzzies can’t even make a decision about something as minor as how to spell their name.

Why didn’t they designate him “the last terrorist in the world”? Then they could have released a headline Obama kills last terrorist in the world! LOL

Did anyone see the History channels special “Targeting Bin Laden”?

It was like one huge campaign commercial for Obama.
I think the POS spent more time in front of the camera making the film than he did actually working on the operation.

“...new designation...”

How about “Room Temp”?

“Worm Food”?

“Soon-To-Be-Bug-Feces”?

“Root Juice”?

And what if...just what IF...those 72 Virgins turn out to be immensely fat (I’m-a talkin’ BIG, man...REALLY big), pierced and tattooed lesbians with a penchant for pain/bondage and pork sandwiches????

I’m just SAYIN’...

Chief of Entropy or Chief of Rapid Oxidation would work also.

The proper way to have handled Anwar al-Aulaqi and issuing a kill or capture order on him would be to try him in absentia, convict him of traitorous acts against his country and then sentence him to death.

It should not have been a difficult task to convict al-Aulaqi. With out the trial and conviction I think there is cause for legal action against who ever ordered the air strike.

He was a citizen of the United State entitled to a trial. If he did not respond to an order to appear the judge could order him tried in absentia.

That is sick.I saw on PPV under politics a Obama movie back when it looked to be like that; making him like a savior.

Is the Obama admin going to give all these people titles?

Or just play lawyer for them? There are sleeper cell terrorists in the U.S.

I’m way out of my expertise here but I believe it is a problem of transliterating a language where vowels are not written (Arabic) to one where they are (English).
