you think killing that dude is actually going to scare them into being good citizens?...this certainly is not the first time the US has made a targeted strike. I really do not see it having some sort of sobering effect on things, but we shall see.

Correct. Obama OK'd or else directed 100s of drone strikes and I never saw you 2nd guess ANY of what the HMIC did.

Also, Obama did not brief or consult with congress or the Pakistanis prior to the operation to take out OBL or the drone strike that took out Anwar Al-Awlaki and his son 2 weeks later, both U.S. citizens. But sure, Trump is a loose cannon and needs to have his war powers restricted. :roll:

Perhaps, but then Russia and others will likely rush in to assert influence in the region. And what hapoens when Iran starts "expanding" its territory? Do we continue to arm the Saudis as well as others there?

I wonder how many Darwin Awards got given out for those bullets they fire straight up into the air whenever they are happy...then inevitably fall back to Earth.......

Just to be sure I re-read all of your posts and not 1 single mention or criticism of Obama.

Middle eastern religious fanatics definitely bring up the rear in terms of IQ for specific groups of people. The fact that the many of them actually believe that women should not even show their faces on earth but conversely they will be awarded 70 nympho whore virgins in "heaven" if they blow themselves up is a special kind of stupid.
