All the people here who normally want to nuke Mecca (even if some Americans are among the casualties) seem to be suddenly getting religion about due process.
Mecca isn’t in Texas.
Nuke Mecca after a fair trial.
I mean, how hard was that?
You are talking apples and organes here. There is a huge difference between targeting an American citizen for assasination without due process and targeting someone like Osama Bin Laden. Surely you ‘get’ that distinction.
President Bush never went this far because he understood our rights under our constitution. Even though this guy may be a scumbag islamic terrorist and deserves the ‘death penalty’, he is entitled to a trial first. This is dangerous territory we are entering into and Zero is just getting warmed up. All he has to do now is ‘deem’ any American citizen a threat and target them for state sanctioned assasination.
Not hardly. Awlaki knows things. He might have valuable information of attacks that have not yet taken place here.
We did not do THIS even for bin laden. Bin Laden was wanted dead or alive. There is NO such admonition here. There is something about this particular person that changes everything. We want to know what...and why.
Is that too hard to understand?
And if abu can do this, any merc with a black heart can be given the same instruction and it might be anyone this administraion considers an enemy. The track record of this administration and what it does to enemies, real or perceived, makes me very uncomfortable with this order.
abu has set off an intifada agaonst Israel in which people have been killed. He has no conscience. THAT is a problem whether you acknowledge it or not.
Khalid Sheik Mohammad’s head should be rotting on a pike somewhere in full view of the entire world. Yet abu has done everything in his power to save this worthless creature who, if tried in a civilian court, might someday breathe free. That doesn’t bother you?
WHAT changes with Awlaki? Something isn’t right here.
