          Interesting. I am not quite sure how to think on this, but probably would say that it is "okay". What do you think?

          Quite the family:

          On January 29, 2017, Anwar al-Awlaki's 8-year-old daughter, Nawar al-Awlaki, the half-sister of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, was killed in the Raid on Yakla, a commando attack ordered by President Donald Trump

            Osama bin Laden was not eliminated because of any directive from Obama. The plan for taking him out once he was found was put in place by George Bush. Bin Laden was located after Bush left office, and while Obama infested it. It did not require input from Obama. He could have called it off, but he knew that wouldn't play well. But being able to call the raid off is not the same thing as setting the plan in motion. So the senator is correct.

                The argument being that it's perfectly fine to kill foreigners, but American terrorists are special in some way?

                      No, not really. Some on the right (and no doubt on the left, too) have complained about the killing of the American and described it as 'extra-judicial killing of an American citizen' and said that it is unconstitutional, hence my question. I personally don't see why Americans should be treated any differently from everybody else.

                        I agree with you for the most part. My point is that the outrage depends on who's doing the killing. Insert whatever POTUS you want, but the argument is always the same.

                        Souleimani - OrangeMan bad
                        al-Awlaki - crickets (at least from those who complain about OrangeMan or Bushitler.

                        Of course, those can be easily flipped at your convenience.

                          I wouldn't have thought that it was possible to simultaneously complain about Obama not killing any terrorists and to also complain about his illegal killing of a terrorist.

                                I think it's disingenuous to put together a list of terrorists who were killed during a war battle, label them all leaders, and then make the claim that Obama had something to do with them being killed. He had nothing to do with their deaths. What he DID have hands on involvement with was to set a bunch of captured terrorists free (gitmo), trade a dozen or so for the release of a traitor, and was literally personally responsible for causing the rise of a terrorist group called ISIS.

                                  OK, so 45 were killed while he was in office

                                  The number probably should have been 10 times that, maybe 100 times.
