Well hey, at least he isn't torturing people like Bush did. [View all]

Nope, instead he is assassinating them instead, men, women, young, old, American citizens or otherwise.

"It was not a theoretical question: Mr. Obama has placed himself at the helm of a top secret “nominations” process to designate terrorists for kill or capture, of which the capture part has become largely theoretical. He had vowed to align the fight against Al Qaeda with American values; the chart, introducing people whose deaths he might soon be asked to order, underscored just what a moral and legal conundrum this could be."

Now really, would we have tolerated such an assassination list under Bush? No, we wouldn't, we would, justifiably be screaming to the high heavens. So why do we tolerate it from Obama? Because he is "our guy". If that is the case, I can't go there with you, I cannot condone a president who personally decides who lives or who dies, be they American or Yemen, or from somewhere else. There was a time when decent people would condemn such an outrage as UnAmerican, and they would be in the right. Americans don't torture, nor do they assassinate, shooting down people like dogs in the street. Yet this is exactly what this administration has done. What's next, an assassination list for Americans in this country?

Oh, and about that whole not torturing people, well, it looks like I might be wrong about that.

But hey, it's all good right, torture, assassination, as long as it's a Dem doing these things.
