Obama's 'kill list' revealed: How President uses Al Qaeda 'baseball cards' to decide who will live and who will die ......Full Title

Barack Obama has insisted on personally approving a 'kill list' of Al Qaeda terrorists who should be hunted down and executed, according to reports.

The U.S. president requests that his advisers draw up 'baseball cards' with pictures and biographies that he pores over to see who should live and who should die.

As part of the bizarre ‘nomination’ process he then retires for personal reflection to work out whether or not to order a drone strike to take them out.

He’s got to find something to do. It’s almost a year until he gets to fill out his NCAA tournament brackets again.

LOL, exactly. Ugh, November can't come soon enough...

Paranoid or not, the innocent ‘surveillance drones over Chicago and/or major US cities’ looks suspicious, eh?

So the Obama gubmint already used them at least once, ‘for the right reasons’, of course!

Did you know those cards were provided to the Armed Forces to facilitate identification and capture?

You’re either misguided or dishonest.

Your big assumption for this president and his merry band is that they are concerned about legality.

DoJ and Eric Holder ring any bell?

And yes, I treat this whole ‘Obama kill list’ as a big fluff piece, and a clumsy attempt by the Obama team for the reelection bid.

More likely than "personal reflection"...

A "death panel" composed of the President and his closest advisors -- Valerie Jarrett and Moochelle.

Since you're new here, maybe you should read more posts on a thread before commenting, if you want to get the big picture before saying something stupid.

Did you see my post 16?

Does the UCMJ Uniform Code of Military Justice ring a bell?

This is our military, carrying out the President’s commands, not some bitter, racist, has-been political hack appointee.

Even if the President gives an illegal order, say killing an unarmed detainee, it is illegal for any member of our military to carry it out.

All service personnel are schooled on the Geneva agreement, UCMJ, treatment of detainees, etc. and are often held accountable for infractions, especially murder.

There is this goofy notion that our Special Forces are free-wheeling gunslingers killing anyone they want.

I am not arguing with you on the strict rules and laws governning our service personnel and their conduct. They are not the intended target of this article. This is more about Obama being the Final and Ultimate rule and law.

The simultaneous release of Obama’s Kill List from multiple sources is intend for civilian consumption.

And, you just know, Libs will swallow it bait hook and sink.

The decision is usually made on the fairway of the 4th or 5th hole, but not before he's selected the club for his next shot.

I wasn’t the only one to jump to the conclusion after reading your comment.

Okay, so I was too brief in my first post. Maybe it's just me that I read ahead before going back to join the discussion.

No harm. I’m sorry for my harsh response. I tend to be a little too blunt.
