Obama's anti terror policy: shoot first so we don't have to ask questions

The lawyer left has made it impossible to interrogate terror suspects so the Obami have decided that we might as  well kill them.  Witness OBL.

Nor was this a one-off. It is merely the most notorious instance of a curious Obama counterterrorism policy. As Rich Lowry memorablyframed the matter, “Our policy isn’t ‘to shoot first and ask questions later’; it is to shoot precisely so we don’t have to ask questions.”

The Lawyer Left is the core of the president’s base. From its legions, Obama recruited his attorney general, the top lawyer in his State Department, and many of his administration’s most influential voices. Its signal achievement has been to make a legal and political hash of terrorists’ detention and interrogation. It has become far easier and cleaner to kill the enemy than to capture and squeeze him for intelligence purposes.

So precisely how does this either help us win hearts and minds or constitute an advance in human rights?  See below:  my friend Nadeem Butt from Karachi posted this picture on his FB ( very graphic, sorry).  The mother and her two little children are 'collateral' damage from the Obami's self righteous, lawyerly and (in my humble opinion) remarkably inhumane prosecution of the GWOT largely via drone attack.

Sometimes one needs to prosecute war in cruel and messy ways.  But  Constitutional 'scholar' Barack Obama seems to have taken tragic necessity and elevated it to constitutional principle.  One that he has instructed our military to apply in Pakistan several times a week.

And to think that `Mr. Obama was the 'peace' candidate.  In truth he combines the rhetoric of peace with a policy of killing whose primary motivation is to leave his skirts clean - "no human rights violations here! no Siree"

No wonder they hate us.
