dayman Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) "Who does #2 work for?" LMFAO. Anyway we're decimating al-Qaeda. And I know it isn't a laughing matter but: “Initially, four people were killed, but when the militants reached the spot, another strike occurred that killed many more, raising the death toll to 16,” the source said. can't help but chuckle I mean I wouldn't flock to the scene of the crime if I were militant supporters...run al-Qaeda...run away. It's also a bit disturbing military successes like this cause people on the board to be snarky at the President. But it's not surprising.

Juror#8 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I don't care who it is...I'm just glad that someone is systematically getting these !@#$ers. Before the Obama Administration, we were much too soft on prosecuting the war on terror. Just glad that someone is doing it and I hope the focus remains in a Romney Whitehouse. Good job Obama.

Imagine the global uproar if evil Bush had ordered wholesale drone strikes in a neighboring sovereign country that's not "part" of the GWOT? Nixon is rolling over in his grave.
