I am a conservative independent and voted for and against Obama - so this is not a love story. <br />In Tom Junod's excellent article in Esquire "the Lethal Presidency" he says: You are the first president who has made use of your power to target and kill individuals identified as a threat to the United States throughout your entire term. You are the first president to make the killing of targeted individuals the focus of our military operations, of our intelligence, of our national-security strategy, and, some argue, of our foreign policy. You have authorized kill teams comprised of both soldiers from Special Forces and civilians from the CIA, and you have coordinated their efforts through the Departments of Justice and State.<br /><br />Read more: The Lethal Presidency of Barack Obama, by Tom Junod - Esquire http://www.esquire.com/features/obama-lethal-presidency-0812#ixzz2Q4X9nme1<br />Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367317154080624784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-28205134002604432802013-04-10T17:24:22.176+03:002013-04-10T17:24:22.176+03:00no and it does not address the issues which face u...no and it does not address the issues which face us TODAYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-35384554920604345742013-04-10T16:14:53.547+03:002013-04-10T16:14:53.547+03:00I'm not sure what point they were trying to ma...I'm not sure what point they were trying to make by rejoicing at the death of a PM who has long since left office.

I agree with you about the Bin Laden celebration, not because I think it is deeply wrong for people to rejoice at someones death, but rather because it was such an obvious political trick and distraction from the real problems facing America and the real War on Terror, and became a sort of peer-pressure mob to celebrate something that didn't really mean anything. The reality is that Obama has done NOTHING GOOD WHATSOEVER on the "War on Terror", nor does anyone even really know what a success on the "War on Terror" would look like, and so to rejoice at the assasination of a single figure in Al Qaeda was so disgustingly provincial, ignorant and gullible that I found the mob-inducing banter to be juvenile and degrading to all of mankind. The worst part is that people acted like you were a traitor if you didn't celebrate with them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-83293507605309725952013-04-10T16:13:29.705+03:002013-04-10T16:13:29.705+03:00A couple great old Ted hating bumper sticks from s...A couple great old Ted hating bumper sticks from stateside:<br /><br />"I'd rather be hunting with Dick Cheney than get a ride from Ted Kennedy."<br /><br />"Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
