Summer is just starting, perfect time to threaten a race war in cities across America. Look how Cochran incited blacks to get their votes, by saying the tea party is racist and opposes Obama. Any effort to oppose Obama this summer will be spun and spun to incite black violence. He’s got a free pass until his term is up. Then they will use the same approach with Hillary, that we are against her because she is a woman. That’s why I keep saying only Palin can defeat her. By the time the election rolls around no one will care about Hillary’s past, and they will make full use of the “It’s about time for a woman president.” mantra.

I’m not worried: As soon as the next Republican gets into the White House, the Dems will go ballistic over Obama’s Drone-Strike Memo’s — without ever mentioning his name, of course. This will all be fixed and the policy will be blamed on Obama’s Republican successor, like Nixon got blamed for Vietnam.

But for now we are living in a Camelot/Liberal Utopia where their guy is always good & righteous and all evil flows from Conservatism. (sarcasm)

Back in the 1990s we passed up the opportunity to get bin Laden because the Clinton Administration was concerned with due process and the legal basis to hold him. Clearly these individuals are colluding with the enemy and operating as enemy combatants with the goal to kill Americans. I’m not going to lose a lot of sleep over this one.

>" the president of the United States ordered the targeting killing of U.S. citizens overseas "

Using Progressive logic, means he can target US citizens on continent while he's overseas.

Ask that Rolling Stones reporter that had his engine blasted sideways.

there is a war on terrorism going on, whether the Hero of Benghazi admits it or not. If US citizens are traitors and serve on the side attacking us, killing them is not murder, it is a duty. Isn’t a war on terror a just war?

This problem goes all the way back to Thomas Jefferson.

Back then, the US Navy was involved in a knock down drag out with the Barbary pirates, who would seize ships and hold crews hostage for ransom.

At the time, the penalty for piracy was, and still should be, hanging. And while the British navy would hang the pirates on their own ships, then set the ships to slowly and irretrievably sink, the US Navy was hampered by US federal judges, who wanted to horn in.

These judges actually demanded that when the US Navy captured pirates, that they stop what they were doing in Africa, and spend several months transporting the pirates back to the US, while feeding and caring for them, just so that the federal judges could try them and hang them.

Egotistical jerks.

In any event, the US Navy suddenly discovered that every pirate they captured just *happened* to be in British jurisdictional waters, so they were obligated to turn them over to the British for disposition.

So what about the current mess? Right now, if someone with American citizenship leaves the US to fight the US military in another country, every one of our military personnel are authorized to kill them without further adieu.

If they are unfortunate enough to capture them instead, you guessed it, they are supposed to be transported back to the US for trial by egotistical jerks of federal judges.

Once the light dawns among US military personnel that dead enemies are much less hassle, well, too bad for these enemies.

So after this, why get excited about the US POTUS offing a few of the traitors themselves? Especially if the traitor has knowledge and skills useful to the enemy.

Instead of swapping five dangerous terrorists and likely a bunch of money for the recent deserter, why not give him a Hellfire missile as a going away present? It would likely save a lot of innocent lives in the process. And as for the five dangerous terrorists... why not feed them to the Cuban sharks?

I’m a conservative not a libertarian and I have been saying for many years that the murder of Americans by drone in non exigent circumstance is too much power for any one person. Of course a lot of my friends here at FR disagree but that’s OK.
