President Obama came to office after campaigning against the secrecy of his predecessor's aggressive counterterrorism strategies, but the current administration now faces calls for greater accountability after U.S. airstrikes killed as many as three American citizens, including the radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
The New Mexico-born Al-Awlaki was a key figure in the Al Qaeda branch in Yemen, and the airstrike that killed him and North Carolina native Samir Khan was generally hailed on Capitol Hill as a foreign policy victory.
Truthfully, it has nothing to do with who they were other than that they were actually American Citizens.
Why is it, that it is okay for this administration to do everything that Bush did and not get called on it by those on the left? When Bush did it, it was a heinous crime. When Obama does it, it is a great victory.
Why is it that the right didn't have a problem with things Bush did but when the current administration does the same things, the right is outraged? It works both ways.
To Whom It May Concern, both sides give "for the party" salutes. If you don't see that, you're blind.
So Whiny-One/Constipated Voice/etc. etc. why direct your comment to me, when you speak in generalities? I know whenever you can somehow disrespect the TEA Party you get a nut or chubby, but what does that have to do with Party lines. The TEA Party came about because they didn't see the two Party system representing their views any longer.
I directed my comment to you because you directed your comment to me. I thought it was only polite to reply to you and in the same manner you replied to me. Why is it the right always seems to disrespect and marginalize opponents by coming up with alternate names for them? It goes from El Rushbo down to the posters on this forum. You just can't be civil and call me by my name. You have to denigrate it when responding. Why is that?
The Tea Party is part of the Republican Party. It's not a third party, as several have clarified on here. It's RIAN. Republican In Another Name. It will be interesting to watch the power struggle play out.
I'm not sure what getting a nut or chubby means, but I'm sure it's some juvenile schoolyard expression.
