Obama - the Kill President

From the New York Times...

Secret ‘Kill List’ Proves a Test of Obama’s Principles and Will

They describe a paradoxical leader who shunned the legislative deal-making required to close the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, but approves lethal action without hand-wringing. While he was adamant about narrowing the fight and improving relations with the Muslim world, he has followed the metastasizing enemy into new and dangerous lands. When he applies his lawyering skills to counterterrorism, it is usually to enable, not constrain, his ferocious campaign against Al Qaeda — even when it comes to killing an American cleric in Yemen, a decision that Mr. Obama told colleagues was “an easy one.”

The administration’s failure to forge a clear detention policy has created the impression among some members of Congress of a take-no-prisoners policy. And Mr. Obama’s ambassador to Pakistan, Cameron P. Munter, has complained to colleagues that the C.I.A.’s strikes drive American policy there, saying “he didn’t realize his main job was to kill people,” a colleague said.

It is also because Mr. Obama embraced a disputed method for counting civilian casualties that did little to box him in. It in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent…

n interviews, three former senior intelligence officials expressed disbelief that the number [of civilian casualties] could be so low. The C.I.A. accounting has so troubled some administration officials outside the agency that they have brought their concerns to the White House. One called it “guilt by association” that has led to “deceptive” estimates of civilian casualties.

Obama is not a Muslim and I see nothing in the article that indicates that President Obama has committed any crimes. Would you like to offer some proof to any part of your statement or did you simply make that up?

Judging by the LJ copy signature, this is either LJ's sarcastic twin or LJ herself.. Either way you know there is little if any chance of her staying on the topic or getting any kind of coherent opinion on the OP.

As for the topic, I'm sure the MSM will be jumping all over Obama for this like they surely would have if Bush did the same thing. You have to love all the great actions from this president which has solidified his earning of the Nobel Peace Prize.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

So LJ doesn't post on this thread, yet you have to take the opportunity to insult/bash her when she isn't even here to defend herself? Really bill.....your obsession with LJ is way over the top. Why not wait till she posts before condemning her?
