Like I said, it's on his dad, who apparently decided to be a terrorist dedicated to killing Americans, and moved his family into a combat zone. It looks like some of the stories indicate the kid was in the company of other known terrorists at the time he got greased. Other stories say he was out in the desert looking for his father. Hmmmm. Anybody want to make a bet that this kid was totally on board with, and hypnotized by, jihad against the US? A future terrorist in the making that we no longer have to worry about. Sorry about the "mistake" but.....Fuck him. Originally Posted by timpageGotta say I'm on board with this.
Gotta say I'm on board with this.So the philosophy behind that is lets kill him before he gets to well trained,
I thought the "looking for his dad in Yemen" story was bullshit. I figured he was there to join or was already in training.
What better right hand man to have than your own son? Originally Posted by ExNYer

I don't know how a practical tactic amounts to a "philosophy", but yes.You're like all the rest of these slopjaws. You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about.
How well trained does he have to be before we wax him? Do you have some metric I mind?
My metric is this: "If you show up to join, you are already well-trained enough to be killed."
The jihadists have never been reluctant to use their own family members as suicide bombers. His dad has been grooming the kid since he was old enough to speak. Originally Posted by ExNYer

Larry King Live: 09/11/2001 Interview on CNN:
KING: Senator Kerry did your -- did you committee on international opertions and terrorism ever actually fear something like this?
SEN. JOHN KERRY (R), MASSACHUSETTS: Absolutely. Absolutely. But let me join John and I know all my colleagues in just expressing -- I think all of us here in Washington are feeling in very personal ways the loss of what's happened here. I know that I had one friend I know of already on that plane from Boston, and I dread the learning of perhaps others. But for thousands of families tonight, there is just a huge loss, and I think in every American there's a sense -- there's a fury, an intense, burning fury about this and a determination to do what is right about it.
We have always known this could happen. We've warned about it. We've talked about it. I regret to say, as -- I served on the Intelligence Committee up until last year. I can remember after the bombings of the embassies, after TWA 800, we went through this flurry of activity, talking about it, but not really doing hard work of responding."
The "hard work" can include eradicating "next generation" of terrorists.
And I have a suggestion .. if the son of a known terrorist doesn't want to be reduced to a fume over dinner, he might want to take a pass on a trip to Yemen to look for "daddy"! Originally Posted by LexusLover

You are letting your hatred of Obama overwhelm your critical thinking faculties.Iam not going to disagree with you. I am not much for the activities of terrorists myself. My problem is just because this kid's father is a known terrorist and has engaged in terrorist activities doesn't necessarily place his son at the scene of any crime. I don't think there is enough evidence to say this kid was an active terrorist or was being actively trained to engage in terrorist activities. He was killed by association, and thats wrong.
I don't care for Obama's politics as a general rule, but that doesn't mean I disagree reflexively with everything he does or says. If Obama says "the sky is blue", I'm not going to disagree just because Obama said it.
I have a problem with the power of the federal government and, in particular, with the power of the Presidency - in some areas. I have already posted in other threads about the abuse of police power (state and federal) within the US and I did not disagree with Rand Paul's filibuster demanding that Holder/Obama acknowledge at least some limits on killing Americans within the US.
But I have no problem with Obama or Bush using the military to kill terrorists who seek refuge in failed states that are unable or unwilling to arrest and/or kill the terrorists themselves. Originally Posted by ExNYer
