[Vision2020] Beating dead horses

[Chuck Kovis]

 From the New York Times via Reader Supported News:

"In interviews with The New York Times, three dozen of his current and 
former advisers described Mr. Obama's evolution since taking on the 
role, without precedent in presidential history, of personally 
overseeing the shadow war with Al Qaeda.  They describe a paradoxical 
leader who shunned the legislative deal-making required to close the 
detention facility at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, but approves lethal action 
without hand-wringing. While he was adamant about narrowing the fight 
and improving relations with the Muslim world, he has followed the 
metastasizing enemy into new and dangerous lands. When he applies his 
lawyering skills to counterterrorism, it is usually to enable, not 
constrain, his ferocious campaign against Al Qaeda -even when it comes 
to killing an American cleric in Yemen, a decision that Mr. Obama told 
colleagues was "an easy one."  "  (My emphasis)

I opposed Democrat Lyndon Johnson and the Vietnam War.  I oppose 
Democrat Barack Obama and the Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Iran Wars.  
When you have a constitutional law professor saying that it is "an easy 
one" to kill a fellow U.S. citizen without what passes now days for "due 
process,"  don't expect me to go along with it.  I find it disgusting 
that more people in this country don't have the guts to put a stop to 
this at the ballot box.  As a country, we will never learn, when  a 
former SDS'er is an apologist for a President who says the decision to 
kill a fellow human being and fellow American citizen is easy.
