Guardian: Reports on the leaked Obama legal memo that gives legal cover for POTUS to kill US Citizens that are Al Qaeda terrorists, the article notes the following, " But in a number of areas, it controversially appears to give considerable flexibility to administration officials to define key issues. ".
Lets Get Real:
As stated before folks, its sometimes actions in the 1st term of a two term President that come back to haunt him, with Nixon it was Watergate, with Reagan it was Iran - Contra, of course with Bill Clinton it was his affair. In the second term of Bush 43 it was the mess in Iraq, and then decision of the surge. The use of drones is coming back to haunt Obama, the Republicans are acting like doves, wanting to place pressure on Obama, while Democrats have to become extreme hawks to justify the actions of the Oval. This blog supports the drones strikes, it would have been nice to take these terrorists in to custody and get some info out of them before killing them but sometimes you just have to be brutal. It is ironic that the Democrats went on about the torture of the Bush 43 years, at least no one died due these torture actions, while the same can not be said of the Godfather Obama drone strikes. The UN is looking in to these drone strikes, it would be ironic if Obama become the NEW LBJ, a liberal undone by his actions in foreign policy. History has way of biting you on the backside if you think you control history.
