Except he was murdered several weeks after his father was already killed. Abdulrahman al-Aulaqi was an innocent American citizen who was associating with a terrorist known to his father when he was murdered by the U.S. government. A drive by is not the same as the government launching a precision strike at your location. The punishment you get for a drive by, is jail time. What punishment is there for the murderers of this boy?

He also neglected to report that the 16 year old had been visiting known AQ camps looking for his father and wasn't the target. Just like hanging out with drug dealers on a city street corner in this country is liable to get you killed in a drive by. Where's your righteous indigenous for those US citizens?

Hope and change. Hope you're not changed into vapor.

I really don't know what I think about this subject, but has anyone made the argument that Lincoln ordered the killing of hundreds of thousands of American citizens? It's worth thinking about. That isn't evidence of constitutional authority, but I think it gives context to the debate. I would prefer more debate on the subject and more judicial review on all military actions, but I think this is a debate about how it was done, not whether the president can, in extreme circumstance, do it.

Hey DUMMY, just because you assert something is flawed doesn't make it flawed you fucking idiot shithead troll.

It's pretty fucking funny being told to learn to read from someone whose lack of reading comprehension skills caused them to mistake an anti-obama attack argument for a pro-obama defense argument.

But tell me then what the flaw in my argument? spit it out coward. Oh that's right you wont say what it is. You'll just sits there asserting that it's flawed but only you can see it.

Thirdly, when do you ever see anti-war rallies reported on TV?

Look at how long they ignored the Occupy Movement.

The majority of people are not that well informed. They're kept in the dark and most things are never reported.

Look at how the wool was pulled over the eyes of the American people. First, Obama was given a Nobel Peace Prize - WHAT THE FUCK? - for nothing. Secondly, and most recently, Obama said that the wars were winding down. You and I know this is patently false. However, no one in the MSM questions it so the people who watch MSM are ignorant as to what really goes on.
