Yep, a natural born American on the "Kill List" with Obama's approval but without the benefit of due process or a fair trial. And the Social Democrats are perfectly fine with that....

Welcome to the new warfare. In the future it will be largely drones, robots and an occasional SEAL team thrown in. The days of massed infantry are pretty much over.

It appears that the D constituents are have a hard time believing that they are getting lip service while the R (and some D) constituents have spoke out against their self-proclaimed masters ala the Tea Party.
