(2,730 posts)gentleman take the American people as stupid and can't make up their own minds. He is not the only person on Earth can think intellectually. His premise that President Obama is indescriminately targeting Armericans with some hit list, makes it appear the President is a roque, drunk with power.
He is defending this one guy, that fled the United States because of allegations of him working with known Terrorists. The people collecting this evidence were our own intelligence agencies, including Law Enforcement. They apparently gave this evidence to the President. In 2001, Congress gave the President authority to go after Al Qaeda and persons operating with Al Qaeda by any means. This authorization also comes under the powers of the President as this country's Commander in Chief. The President's Authority means what it says in special circumstances like this and should not be taken lightly by this gentleman. There is very good evidence this man committed treason and was in on assisting Terrorist organizations attacking and killing American citizens.
He lost his rights when he put himself in an adveserial position by fleeing the United States. He was killed in the Middle East. The Middle East is a battlefield and harbors Terrorists. These thoughts were not invented by President Obama but my own thoughts. I'm nobody's stooge and doubt many of the Americans whom agree with the President. War is hell! And if the President did not take action against the traitor, I would be the first to criticize him for not doing so!
