The Broken Moral Compass

Although President's Obama's partial Afghan troop withdrawal announcement has received more attention, his June 29 "National Strategy for Counterterrorism" is of far greater long-term significance. This remarkable document states that the U.S. government intends to "disrupt, dismantle, and eventually defeat al-Qa'ida and its affiliates and adherents," in the following "areas of focus": "The Homeland, South Asia, Arabian Peninsula, East Africa, Europe, Iraq, Maghreb and Sahel, Southeast Asia (and) Central Asia."

This assassination strategy is already operational in six Muslim countries with a combined population of 280 million: Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and Libya, which has become a laboratory experiment for urban drone assassinations. The London Sunday Times reported a year ago that "President Obama has secretly sanctioned a huge increase in the number of US special forces ... with American troops now operating in 75 countries." There are presently 60,000 Special Operations forces worldwide, with 7,000 U.S. assassins unleashed upon Afghanistan and 3,000 in Iraq. Lt.-Col. John Nagle (ret.), an enthusiastic assassination supporter, has correctly called these operations "an almost industrial-scale counterterrorism killing machine."

President Obama, a former constitutional law lecturer, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and rhetorical advocate of the Rule of Law cannot possibly reconcile his previously stated beliefs with his presently creation of an "industrial-size killing machine" that sees U.S. leaders unilaterally hunt, kidnap and murder any person anywhere on earth -- including "the Homeland" -- whenever they feel like it, without outside oversight or their victims enjoying any legal or human rights whatsoever.

Let's be brutally honest. If you or I had been in a severe car crash in, say, 2006, and it had left us in a coma, what would we think about all the news about the current presidential administration if we were to awaken today? I am fairly confident that at least 9 out of 10 people would guess that, somehow, George W. Bush still occupied the White House!

On count after count, all the evils of the previous administration that Barack Obama supposedly was going to do away with have, in fact, increased or expanded under his watch. And this man is supposed to be a far left liberal?

I have grown tired of hearing that Obama is a former constitutional law lecturer. His actions illustrate for me that he doesn't know (or care) about the constitution at all. He treats it like an irrelevant, out-of-date scrap of toilet paper.

So now, according to him, he is the Godfather. He can order anyone anywhere to be rubbed out. That is just what we "need" in the world today: vigilante justice. Hired guns roaming around the world (including here at home) with their six-shooters on their hips waiting to gun down the "bad guys."

I just don't know what to say anymore.
