White House: Drone Strikes ‘Legal,’ ‘Ethical’ And ‘Wise’

119. I do understand.

The whole issue was brought up because two ex Americans were targeted and killed. There is no questions that they are members of an organization that the United States Congress has declared war on.
This makes each member an enemy combatant. There is seen and possibly unseen threats made by each men. How do we go after them in an expedient constitutional way to eliminate this threat whether it is in its planning stage or not? During the time of war, the Constitution gives the President the role of Commander in Chief. He still needs a document that will allow him to go after American born citizens that poses a threat from the Justice Department. This legal document has to be broad enough to allow the President the leeway to deemed an American citizen an enemy combatant. The President did not draft this document. Now you may not like it. I don't like it but it is a necessary evil that needs to be done. These people are hell bent to kill us. The United States did nothing to Al Qaeda to provoke the 911 attack. In order to fight this faceless border less enemy, new legal tools have to be developed. This is the first time we as a country have to fight a war like this. There are no precedent to fall back on to do it.
I hope I have clarified my point to you. I do appreciate your response though. Thanks
