Wait just a friggin’ minute… is the media going to liberal rhetoric again? Are we seriously going to attack ourselves on issues that pertain to 9/11; oh, okay let’s go…
So what- The U.S. government can sanction a ‘hit’ on a person, if they’re part of a terrorist group or considered to be an important part of that group.
Look- enemies don’t just step out of the dark and go, ‘hey- I’m the bad guy.’ We’re not playing Fort, and peoples lives are at stake. Equal actions have to be taken… If action is not taken very bad things can happen. And the premise of this information being taken out of context.
It’s often asked, is one life more valuable than a million; the answer is NO. If killing one person saves a million, it’s a justified loss; it’s logic.
Yes, it’s horrible, it’s insensitive to think this way, but the greater good is at stake. And that’s someone’s job to make that decision and it’s not going to be popular.
After the Sept. 11 attacks, Bush gave the CIA, and later the military, authority to kill U.S. citizens abroad if strong evidence existed that an American was involved in organizing or carrying out terrorist actions against the United States or U.S. interests, military and intelligence officials said. . . .
The Obama administration has adopted the same stance. If a U.S. citizen joins al-Qaeda, “it doesn’t really change anything from the standpoint of whether we can target them,” a senior administration official said. “They are then part of the enemy.”
