Presidents lie. All the time. Maybe it's your bad for falling for the "transparency" platform. Obama isn't the first and he won't be the last. It's not just liberals that are hypocrites - all of them are. I really don't think you fell for his empty promises; I think you were chomping at the bit to say, "see, I told you so" (something you seem to call out 'liberals' for doing to GWB).
In my world, shooting at an FBI agent is enough to warrant being shot and killed. The suspect could have been a pastor at a church - he shot at federal authorities, bottom line.
Context, learn it, love it, live it.
Like I said and you chose ( wisely) to let go, big difference between wanting Obama to fail with his socialist agenda, and wanting Bush to fail fighting a war at the expense of the American service man.
mine to, what is your point? This guy was killed plotting destruction on American soil sorry if your "context" does not deem this relevant. It is.
Also relevant, thatyou chose to ignore is the roll that the Patriot Act might have played in finding this dipshit.
I don't choose to let it go - it's part of a larger problem I have with politicians in the US - they lie, cheat, are morally bankrupt, the list goes on. The dominant political parties are great at playing off each other, vilifying each other to the extent they play their constituencies against one another enough that many do not see that they are of the same cloth. I don't like either party (Democrat or Republican), and I don't like the majority of politicians in either parties.
Nobody with a sane mind wants (or wanted) troops to die just so they could say, "I told you so". If they do, it's not because they are liberal or hated GWB, it's because they are morally demented people.
I don't know the role the Patriot Act played in foiling this plot. What is likely is that we won't know how much of a part it played because there is so much secrecy regarding Patriot Act initiatives. I won't speculate.
Would you like me to pine on and on about how wonderful it is that we killed a bad guy? Rah rah, go US. Is that good enough?
