OBAMA PULLS THE TRIGGER: NOW HOW ABOUT SOME FOLLOW THROUGH?
Rick - no offense, but this is sort of a silly post from you.
This was the first time Obama "pulled the trigger" (hey, tuff macho words).
The day after he was innaugurated he launched attacks in Pakistan.
For ideological reasons, many of you folks like to forget the actual war on terror exists in Pakistan.
As far as a "suspicious military." I know conservative bloggers have all sorts of notions (and little military experience), but Obama won clear majorities among enlisted ranks in many units in Iraq.
I know the excuse conservatives make when they hear this, but military (suspicious or not) does not necessarily mean white protestant officer from the south.
1. "Suspicious military" is I believe a quote from the gushing Shear article. Not mine.
2. Don't lecture me on where the war in terror is taking place. I've been writing about Pakistan for 4 years. And I'm so glad that its not taking place anywhere else like Yemen, or Iraq, or Somalia, or any one of a half dozen other places where al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood not to mention Hezbullah and all their imitators have set up shop.
3. Obama signing off on a Predator strike - continuing a policy established by his predecessor - is a helluva lot different than pulling the trigger (Oh me! I am so MACHO!) or, lest I offend your gentle nature, giving the go ahead for military action where American lives are at stake. Are you a member of the Predator Rights Committee? Are we now to treat the drones as sensate creatures? If not, recognize the difference between launching a drone and authorizing deadly force where actual, like, you know, American citizens might get killed.
4. For ideological reasons, you are incapable of thinking clearly. But I chalk that up to your being a liberal.
