Drone Kills Anwar al-Aulaqi in Yemen

Obama is kicking ass in this fight. It took Bush how many years to get Saddam?
I hate the guy, but he and Pinetta (who I think is a huge improvement) both deserve a giant pat on the back.

After an objective comment like that, I hate to pick on the Tea Party, but I think it is relevant - If Obama had the same kind of balls when dealing with the tea party as he has had in dealing with Al Queda, he would be way higher in the polls. But then again, most of the people who oppose the way he has dealt with the Al Queda leaders don't have a vote.

No, really. The progress (Kills for you Lefty's) has been impressive. You don't agree?

How long will it take before the GOP rushes in to claim partial credit for this one too?

I'm not sure I like the precedent that we're setting with our unmanned assassination planes. This technology will surely be duplicated and used by others. The situation becomes significantly worse if leaders of sovereign states are targeted. Even some municipal police forces are acquiring remote surveillance planes.

It's better than more dead American kids. Why do we on the right want a strong military, better weapons, and all the other BS if we continue not to use it and send kids to their death over crap that isn't even a national security issue?
The Left has a point when it comes to defense spending. The military industrial complex must be squashed unless we are willing to use these fabulous tools of war.

Since it's happening on their watch, they get the credit.

But it kinds of reminds me of the stuffed tux crowd driving the golden spike at the festivities on the completion of the transcontinental railroad.

I'm sure he could cut a deal with most mainstream republicans to send in the drones on the TEA party.

I'm sure it was just a typo, but Chas a lefty? Really? Call me a leftist or a socialist and it will be pretty close to the truth (there goes my chance to ever run for office), but the Bug Tussel philosopher as a lefty is a picture that my mind just can't seem to draw.
