In other words, Americans are out there murdering "suspected" terrorists. And the president smirked and almost wink-winked with pleasure. He was bragging about American assassinations.
Here's a vacuous individual who recites what is written for him, didn't want to be president in the first place, was run into the Texas governorship by Poppy, enjoyed baseball and having his hand on the switch to execute the condemned.
In the SOTU he didn't seem emotionally engaged, except when talking about quick-draw scenarios, hitting Iraq, and assassination of suspected terrorists. It's more political pornography for personal gain, like the GOP attacks during the Clinton years. It's either sex or violence.
I'm glad to hear Reeves mention it, as did Chris Matthews, but few others in the media or politics.
It's interesting to see how the weak-minded accept massive preemptive attacks on women and children as part of the "cost of doing business", as if they weren't, in fact, absolute cowards unwilling to get into the battles they send others.
I'd like to see someone who advocates these attacks to take personal responsibility for the carnage, the constitution and the results. |
