Hell, now we arrest or soldiers when it happens.

My response was about how it is wrong when Bush did it or any GOP administration does it and when Obama does it we see statements like yours.

I think that the only two things that Obama has done right in this area IS, get Osama ( carried out plans set in place before he was Pres.) and Drones, (developed, perfected, used and deployed for a long time before him). It is about time we start using some of the same tactics that we have to fight against. I think if you demonstrate to someone that if you plan on assist in hiding the enemy, you are the enemy. Maybe then they will begin to NOT let the enemy live next door. I think your leftist Pres. thought one thing when he was a dope smoking college student and learned another once his head cleared and got into the oval office and sees the truth!

War is nothing like anything else and never will be. People die, and always will. The general public who have never served will never understand, thus will always be used as a political football for what I think is MORE insidious than drones or water boarding. Political gain! No different than what we are fighting against.
What are you talking about with statements like mine? I have made no hypocritical statements. As Commander-in-Chief any President would have hard decisions to make about the war on terror. Many of those made by Bush with respect to weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were ill advised. I have taken issue with that war as have many liberals.
