The outrage (limited tho it is at the moment) really only began when the target list started to include US citizens. But can you check a passport from 30,000'? Americans aren't any more human than anyone else.

The power to kill anyone anywhere for any reason without consequences should not be in the hands of one man.

Objecting is not the same of fearing that your death is around the corner. 

The only thing that is true is the present moment; the rest is just story.

I don't really understand your last sentence.

Yeah, assassinations ordered by the president, disclosed to no one, answerable to no one and for any goddamned reason he sees fit only happen to those people. The ones that deserve it.

As far as we know anyway.

Do I personally have to be in the crosshairs before I object? Might be just a little too late by then.

And what if I acknowledge the humanity of people who aren't US citizens? Is that permissible, or is it grounds to take me out so long as it happens somewhere else?

Really, that is just your story. There is absolutely no imminent threat to your life.

Obviously that's not part of the long term plan.

The eradication of the Baby Boomers is in full swing.

 Retirements by the hard working destroyed? check
 Constitution neutralized? check
 Medicare under attack? check
 Social Security under attack? check
 Exorbitant new "taxes" (like the suck up move the insurance companies are working on getting their pets in Congress to pass) on anything that makes headlines in the government/big business controlled media outlets? check
 Moral less leadership?check
 Broken political system?check
 Corrupt Supreme Court? check
and on and on and on...

Some will scoff at that remark, some will give a quick chuckle. I just nod my head in solemn agreement.

Should make for an interesting chapter in the memoirs should we all survive to read them.

It has certainly been a disappointment.

Now that the Gitmo Prison will stay open,maybe Mr.Obama will get this prize too ?

China to hand out its own peace prize

Speaking today at the National Defense University, US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates condemned European nations in general for their refusal to contribute larger portions of their population to NATO.

Gates warned that Europe’s aversion to war was doing serious harm to assorted US military operations with NATO backing, and was therefore “an impediment” to the lasting peace he envisions those wars eventually creating.

Gates’ comments appeared to be directed in part at the Netherlands, who saw its government collapse this weekend after NATO pressure to continue its commitment to the Afghan War led antiwar members of the government to withdraw.

He said that the “demilitarization of Europe” was a long-term, systemic problem for NATO, and that the European members of NATO needed to increase their military spending to NATO mandated levels.

Last Friday five NATO governments made it known that they want American nuclear weapons removed from their territory. They include the Benelux three, together with Germany and Norway. The five reportedly will ask that all the European NATO governments endorse their position before a meeting in New York in May.

The Dutch foreign minister described this as an attempt to seize the opportunity provided by President Barack Obama’s recent call for a de-nuclearized world.
