As Queen blares in the background…….
Recently we whacked the number one terrorist in the whole wide world, Osama,……..kudos to us!
And we have killed about a thousand number twos….even more kudos!
And now we got that bastard American that turned himself into a cleric….no…not Cat Stevens……you know that tall skinny bearded guy in Yemen?
An American radical cleric linked to al-Qaida who led an organization labeled as one of the most serious threats to U.S. security has been killed in Yemen, the country’s defense ministry said on Friday.”The terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki has been killed along with some of his companions,” the defense ministry said in a statement sent by text message to journalists, Reuters reported.
A Yemeni security official told Reuters that al-Awlaki, who is of Yemeni descent, was hit in a Friday morning air raid in the northern al-Jawf province that borders oil giant Saudi Arabia.
While the American government did not immediately officially verify the claim, NBC News’ Chuck Todd reported that a senior official had confirmed to him that al-Awlaki had been killed.
NBC News’ Richard Engel reported in a message on Twitter that a Yemen source said al-Awlaki was killed by U.S. planes. An American drone aircraft targeted but missed him in May.
We Americans can now sleep better at night…..for we have killed another bad guy…..and only about a bazillion left to go….kudos!
Wow…that’s cool. Another bad guy checked off the list. Does our government have a list of people it would like to murder? Hope not, but a scarey thought none the less.
Hansi….you can bet that in the bowels of CIA there is a room that is dedicated to it!
I’m pretty sure there is a “To Kill” list. That said, what do you think about what Ron Paul said – that the targeting and killing of an American citizen sets a dangerous precedent?
Spinny…..Paul has a point but if it saved innocent people I say tough shit!
Perhaps being a “martyr” isn’t all that’s it cracked up to be.
Larry….I would say about now it pretty much sucks!
We can kill 100 today and 200 tomorrow and another 100 every day after and it isn’t going to make a difference. They’re attacking us for a reason and it has nothing to do with us being a free, prosperous nation.
We need to get that through to the people in Washington…….
