Obama Has Made Assassinations Cool Again
By Mark Whittington | Yahoo! Contributor Network – Sat, Oct 22, 2011
COMMENTARY | It has been a long time since President Gerald Ford, under pressure of the Church committee, issued an executive order prohibiting assassinations of foreign leaders such asFidel Castro. In the 1970s, assassinating enemies of the United States was considered uncool.
Not anymore. Continuing a policy begun by the Bush administration in the wake of 9/11, President Barack Obama has set out to kill people with an enthusiasm that would astonish a Mafia don out to conclude the family business. Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Alwaki are just two of the miscreants who have assumed room temperature thanks to presidential order. To be sure, Moammar Gadhafiwas sent to meet Allah by his own people, but the U.S. helped, along with the French.
This is not to say that anyone whom Obama has had killed did not richly deserve what they got. However, one has to note that just as only Nixon could go to China, only Obama could make assassinations cool again.
Big Government opines that Obama has gotten a taste of solving problems by making them disappear.
