HAHAHA! The repeated timeouts are proof enough. :wink:
Again for the mentally challenged. I've been banned for...

2, An offensive signature about people who don't support the Troops.
3, An avatar/profile pic that I didn't take down when asked to.

Nope, nothing in there about the following...

You should take about moral relativity and double standards! The most Islamophobic POS on the forum and one who applauded Reagan's support of Rios-Montt who killed 200,000 Ixils. Your self hate and threats of suicide cannot be more obvious.
Which you have never proven, though claimed several times.

You're a sad little man, when you have to resort to lies misrepresentations and projections.

Chris Selley: How to kill an American terrorist, and other first-world problems | Full Comment | National Post

More recently, it has been fascinating to watch Americans debate whether President Barack Obama crossed a line by approving the assassination of the American-born Anwar al-Awlaki in a drone attack in Yemen. Everyone concedes the radical Muslim cleric was a human sack of garbage — “a very bad guy,” as Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen put it … “but still, an American citizen.” What ever happened to due process?

Most of the complaining has come from the left — although Ron Paul reliably chimed in as well: “He was never tried or charged for any crimes,” he said. “If the American people accept this blindly and casually that we now have an accepted practice of the president assassinating people who he thinks are bad guys, I think it’s sad

In the amusing view of Bush administration lawyer and commentator John Yoo, Mr. Paul’s clear statement of principle was a “fevered accusation.” But the right is landing some solid punches against the Obama administration and the general mainstream consensus that the assassination wasn’t a huge deal. “If it’s permissible for the president to kill a U.S. citizen with no judicial proceedings whatsoever,” the editors of National Review asked, “why is it an offence against the Constitution and all we hold dear to capture foreign terrorists, interrogate them … and detain them?”

That’s a very good question. And in places like Ottawa and Washington, these are important debates. But again: Imagine how Yemenis or Pakistanis living in close proximity to terrorist dirtbags would see this. “Hang on. You rain hellfire down upon us without a moment’s thought, but if the guy was born in New Mexico you need a 50-page memo from the lawyers at the Justice Department? What gives?”

My fellow columnist George Jonas always argues that Western militaries drop the ball after they depose the bad guys — when they stick around to rebuild a nation about which they know little. Considering our weird, legalistic obsession with the good treatment of certain Afghan detainees and the legal rights of certain terrorist creeps, it’s hardly surprising we struggle to win hearts and minds.

Exactly....who was al-Awlaki spotted hanging out with in the past?

It looks like an inside job. Al Qiada needed a Pearl Harbor. The guy was probably reading books to school children.

The bottom line is that he was fighting for the other team. Many criminals have been gunned down by law enforcement here in the US. Wanna play... ya gunna pay.

Debate, analyze, ponder, critisize... do what you got to do.

Here's another thing... we'll kill another American if he wants to go overseas and fight for the other team. They've got an Alabama boy running around Somalia jihading and we'll get him too eventually.

What would you do? Killing al-Awlaki, "due process". Suppose you are out just walking around and you happen to see a wanted armed murderer sitting having lunch. There are no police around, but you know this person must be stopped before disappearing again. You have a gun, do you just shoot him without warning or take the chance that others may be hurt or killed by warning him not to mention putting yourself in harms way.

It would have been better if that traitor submitted to arrest. But as was noted previously, WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE posters have been issued by the Feds and by cops in the past. His rights would have been preserved if he had only submitted voluntarily.



Awwww. I'm touched.

Hence the suggestions you seek help.

Yeah, we all know you're the one that really needs the help:




We got his son also.

I heard that as well. Evidently, he was 21 years old and was also wanted dead or alive. I hope I've made it clear that I did not necessarily wanted these traitors to get croaked. But if they refuse to submit to arrest and allow the justice process to handle their cases, then they got what's coming to them. If they lost their cases they have the right to appeal to the international court. Nobody forced them to refuse to submit to arrest to arrest. Therefore, it is they who sealed their fate.

Kinda makes you wonder why, eh?

You know the old story - God punishes. Any lawyer worth his/her salt would have fought tooth and nail in a court room to save their treasonous @sses. Whether these traitors liked it or not, they had a chance in court. It was they who said "Fцck you'' to the USA and its system of legal justice. The choice and the outcome was strictly theirs.

"wanted : dead or alive". ~~ except that "alive" is not what is wanted at all.

death and destruction are the order of the day. and the wild west rules as society regresses to an earlier , less advanced and certainly more primitive stage.

Such cute little slogans ......that are so easy for the sheeple to absorb and support. Make for little catch phrases that if repeated often enough become a reality .

How can a population allow itself to become so dumbed down that all they can recite is platitudes and slogans ??

Maybe slogans make the horrors that are actuated easier to swallow. Meanwhile the slaughter goes on.

That is certainly true of a lot of people, particularly of the far right extreme. But it's a fair bet that the majority of Americans wanted to see this matter concluded in a court of law, not by the bullet.

Now now little man, don't cry.

Do yourself a favor and don't project.
