Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, hunting terrorists and wiping them out with drones is one of the few things Obama does right, but isn't it a bit ironic ( don't ya' think) that Mr. Peace Prize is knocking them off left and right, some of them even being US Citizens?

Maybe ironic, but as far as I'm concerned an American citizen CAN do things that merit this.

its about time someone made these people pay. Last administration was ok with just letting them hide and using it to manipulate the laws here. One of the few things this guy has done that i agree with. Whos next?

Nice try, but obviously Bush deserves all the credit, laying the groundwork and all. Makes ya choke, doesn't it? Keep blaming him for sh*t, but don't give him any credit.

LOL that's true, on the terrorism front, much to Obama's core supporters' chagrin, Obama is mostly following all the Bush tactics and procedure. Not uncoincidentaly, that is the area of his Presidency where he is most effective.

You could also consider that life expectancy for an anti-American terrorists appears to be linked to presidential popularity.  When the polls drop so do the bombs.

His citizenship was never revoked was it?  So he was a U.S. citizen, and I think he was the very first one to make the capture or kill list.  I find it odd that Obama gets more joy out of killing all these folks instead of bringing them back alive so we can NOT torture info out of them.

  Your right Pbal without Bush's unreleased DOJ justification letter on the water boarding Obama would not have the grounds to just kill people for no other reason then he fears them and what they might do.

  I think the irony is that capturing a known terrorist and using physical and psychological tactics to gain more info about their tactics and plans is considered inhumane but executing them is acceptable.  Maybe we should adopt a standard, accept a standard and not use that standard as a weapon against our political foes.

..........sorry, i don't consider him a U.S Citizen............The underwear bomber, Times Square Bombing, the ba$tard praised the guy who did the Ft. Hood shootings, calling him a hero and was in contact with him also, and he apparently knew some of the 9/11 hikackers..........it appears he has had a hand in all these incidents.........

Well having served the government they can make appearances that don't exist and with the regs they have now they can do that a whole lot easier than they used to be able to do.  I am saying I like the man they killed, but we don't have all the facts just the ones they want us to have.

sorry typo I wanted to say I am not saying I like the man, cause I am glad they got him I just wish we could have tortured him for intel before killing him by taping an few grenades to his body and let him blow by and not kill anyone else in the exploding of his body.
