Thanks, Obama. (derisive sneer/snark)

Gotta give it to Obama.
He sure is using his divine right to kill anybody in the world. Just as an Emperor should.
Who is the “press” to question the motives or evidence - hah, evidence - needed to tidy this up?
Hey Randy!
Wanna see how “Progressive” TPM and its commentariat are? See how this story plays out here . . . .
You take your cues from Glenn Greenwald, who gave President Bush the “benefit of the doubt” on his war of choice?
Some really offensisve comments above.
I’m an aid worker right now, in Somalia. Al Shabaab is forever killing innocent people in large numbers but they have no specific objectives or aims. If we asked Al Shabaab what they really wanted, they’d have nothing specific to say. They really just want to kill their way into the collapse of Somalia and Kenya and fine if this takes 100 years of killing shoppers on the weekend. They killed 5 in my camp a year ago but they usually kill many more.
But Obama should stand back and let them do this? My head spins.
oops
Believe it or not Randy, but some of us can read about the same things and come up with the same conclusions. Some of us don’t need to follow cues, but can follow the story.
What do you disagree with Glenn Greenwald today? I am pretty sure that’s what we are talking about - today. The day after our president bombed another country we are not at war with.
And I am sure that there were zero innocents murdered that day - yesterday. You know why I know that? Because my government tells me that they have 100% accuracy in who they kill. They would never lie or deceive me, because they are good men and women.
How you gonna feel when the next Republican President gets to decide who lives and dies?

[/quote] I’d have to say you are one clueless idiot if you are in a country in the middle of a civil war and do not understand why they are having a civil war and why some people there might want to kill you.
And, you know, claiming to be an aid worker in Somalia and praising the death of some of the native population could possibly not work out well for future aid workers
First of all this is a terrorist group that has killed many thousands of people and enslaved children.
And no, it’s not a civil war. And Al-Shabaab is not recognized by any non-governmental organization as a legitimate cause
What is it that you dispute?
And no, I have no confidence in Greenwald’s assessment of the world situation. He was fine with Bush’s war of choice, but pivoted when a Democrat was elected president.
I wonder what he feels about the record of his adopted country Brazil’s of killing people and violating civil rights of black people – oh, that’s right, he’s been silent about that.
Let me get this right - You are saying that Al-Shabaab is not fighting a civil war because they do not have a permission slip? You are actually proposing that? And I am supposed to answer any other question about A-Shabaab - when that is the basis of your understanding?
I’m not going to play that game.
At least I understand why you have no confidence in Hillary Clinton. Her litany of failed assessments makes Greenwald’s look microscopic in comparison. I’m still waiting for her proclamation on Brazilian civil rights too.
No, Al-Shabaab split off from a group involved in the civil war and affiliated with Al Qaeda. They are a jihadist terror organization and kill civilians indiscriminately.

They are an islamic jihadist terror organization and kill civilians indiscriminately.
…and if Obama did nothing the same clowns bitching now would be screaming “racism!” because “America doesn’t care about black terrorism victims!”. SMH
It was bullshit when Bush used that word and it is bullshit now when Obama uses it.
You have NO IDEA how stupid I consider YOU to be bigmouth You can start pondering however
