I don't care who ordered the assassination, whether it was Obama, Bush, or Trump. Targeted assassinations are illegal & are for a reason.
you keep saying that. why don’t you respond to this post?

For the record, killing terrorists was one of the few things Obama did that I supported.

Great post!

Here, here! It's unreal that liberals are trying to claim that killing a major Islamic terrorist is a bad thing. They would have us sit back and let these monsters attack us repeatedly.

But hang on

3,000 killed on 9/11 and President Trump says he did not, does not support the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.....and now --- one American mercanary is killed and you go after liberals because they are concerned with the latest attack that will lead to more war in the Middle East?


So you want a war iwth Iran/Iraq?

Well there is also the fact that your opponent doesn't "respect" your strength. They generally just turn to guerilla style tactics to avoid taking you head on.

That would be the exact reason why we know for a fact his statement is accurate.

None of this is fact -- totally made up scenario based on your political bias.

The problem with Trump's actions are that he is erratic. One day he's pulling troops out of areas where we are fighting terrorists and the the next day -- one American is killed and he is going in guns a blazing.


As I said before -- every American President has not really been 'excited' about war.....OBama wanted to bring troops home, so did Trump...and here we are --- New Year's Eve sending troops to the Middle East.

But let's not pretend when Trump does it he's saving the world and the USA and when anyone else did it they were just war mongering PResidents.

Y'all are losing your minds.

If you allow them to get away with that, sure.

This strike was retaliation for exactly those kinds of tactics. If you retaliate directly against those countries for proxy attacks, the proxy attacks stop.

I mean, it should be obvious but if they are attacking you via proxies or gorilla tactics, they don't respect or fear you.
