    Yeah, except for that whole part where Obama had bring back the resources for the Bin Laden man hunt after taking office, since your glorious leader diverted them.

      This is great news! It turns out that the latest version of an attempt to bomb an airliner with an "undetectable" bomb was foiled by a double agent who posed as a suicide bomber! If this now makes the terrorists suspicious of any potential recruit, that's a temporary good thing....especially as you cannot ask a suicide bomber to do a test run to check him/her out first.

            Romney's foreign policy knowledge is minimal.
            "An alliance not undergirded by military strength and U.S. leadership may soon become an alliance in name only,"
            Honestly, if we cancelled NATO and made alliances with Britain, Canada and about two other nations, it would have the same effectiveness. We're talking about nations that couldn't project power into the Balkans or Libya without the US holding their hand.

                      Apparently the most stupid and pointless current war on Earth is, for once, not ours.

                      The real battle isn’t India vs. Pakistan anymore, but Each Side vs. the Unlivable Mountain, with its hundred mile an hour winds and negative-50-degree temperatures. The oxygen level is half of that at sea level. You can only hike at night because the sun’s heat makes avalanches more likely during the day. You get to shower once a month in the summer, and never in the winter, so you get lice, you fall into giant crevasses a hundred feet deep and ten feet across and die. And to top it off, idiot talk show hosts come tape episodes and eat all your **** food.

                      Over 3,000 soldiers on the Pakistani side have died since this all started, and most of them succumbed to the mountain, not India. Just this past month, an avalanche killed 138 of them, and now there’s growing sentiment on both sides of the war that this isn’t a smart war to be fighting.

                        Morons. At least we had the sense to stay inside of submarines or aircraft when sparring with the Soviets over the Arctic circle.

                            Now if someone writing in The New Yorker finds our policy of targeted assassination unsettling, I pay more attention than if the same article had appeared somewhere else. I know that's a logical fallacy, yet somehow the source sometimes does make a difference as to how we perceive the same news....

                            http://www.newyorker.com/online/blog...kill-list.html

                            What is wrong with the President sitting in a room, looking at lists and portraits of people—a Somali man, a seventeen-year-old girl, an American citizen—and deciding whom to kill? That, according to long and troubling articles in both the Times and Newsweek, is a job Barack Obama has assigned himself. His aides, notably John Brennan, his counter-terrorism adviser, portray it as a matter of taking responsibility—if we are going to assassinate someone, or call in a drone strike to take out a camp in Yemen, the President should make the call—as if our only alternative were some sort of rogue operation, with generals or C.I.A. agents shooting at will. But responsibility involves accountability, which is something, in this case, that appears to be badly lacking. Obama has not taken on a burden, but instead has given the Presidency a novel power.


                            The “kill list” story is a reminder of how much language matters, and how dangerous it is when the plain meaning of a word is ignored [emphasis added]

                              Wasn't there a Watergate era Executive Order that the US Government could not assassinate any head of state? Has anyone heard of a finding that the targeting by drones is in the best interest of the USA?

                                Carter did that, I think. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it's been quietly overturned by a Finding that it doesn't apply to terrorist organizations/their supporters or another Executive Order flipping it completely. It's not something you'd publicly announce for obvious reasons.

                                Hell, we tried taking Saddam out the day of the invasion so it was probably overturned in late September 2001.
