Did you get the many ironies of the newly-released DOJ memo on drone wars? Recall that the administration tried to deep-six it, while all the while releasing Bush-era Office of Legal Counsel memos in order to embarrass their authors. Then we learned why Obama kept his memo under lock and key. It authorizes the killing of al Qaeda members in foreign countries even if they aren’t plotting an attack on the U.S. No problemo. Just like skeet-shooting back at Camp David. The irony is that, back in 2009, the administration said we aren’t in a “war on terror.” We are so much more moral, so very much more sophisticated than that. We could just hug ourselves! But if Obama can pull the trigger on terrorsts who aren’t about to attack the U.S., what is that if not a war on terror?

That's Nobel Peace Prize winning Obama to you.

That's your take away from the documents?
Obama has claimed the right to kill American citizens with secret evidence and no trials, the 'just-us' system approves it, and you get excited about the war on some terror?
Mitt Romney, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Hillary Clinton and Obama all support working with Al-Qaeda connected radical jihadists in Egypt, Libya, and now Syria and you are still going on about the war on terror?
Is this a joke post that I am missing?
