Juan Williams: Where's the outrage over Obama's drone policy?
Fox News ^ | February 7, 2013 | Juan Williams

Posted on 02/08/2013 11:30:51 AM PST by EveningStar

Imagine if President George W. Bush or senior members of his administration asserted that they had the power to assassinate any person, including American citizens on American soil, because they merely suspected them of being involved in a terrorist plot.

Now, imagine that they went a step further and claimed that this broad new power was not subject to any oversight by Congress or the judiciary or international law.

A lot of left-wingers would be apoplectic. And they would be right.

Sadly, a Democratic president, Barack Obama, and senior national security officials in his administration appear to be wielding just that kind of power without any oversight, according to a memorandum outlining the extent of the U.S. drone program uncovered by NBC News Investigative Reporter Michael Isikoff.

Yet, the absence of national outrage is deafening.

Juan is the Obama PIMP who pushed all these UAV attacks
by pushing endlessly for his beloved Tyrant
as he suggested American’s eat “dog food”.

Behind Juan’s shameless hypocrisy are
the two people behind the Drone attacks: Juan and Obama.

Hey Juan American police kill Americans every day as part of their job to protect us. I see no problem in soldiers doing likewise. Wanted dead or alive.

Yeah but he’s still a douche. I remember when NPR fired him and Sarah Palin came to his defense, he still found ways to trash her..and just a few days ago he was on with Michelle Malkin on Hannity and he told her to “Calm Down” he’s right what he says about Obama but he will continue to support him

Jeeze, Juan. You don't suppose it could be because of the drooling media leg-humpers spiking story after story about it, do you?

P.S. Yesterday was my 13th Free Republic anniversary. Yaaaaay, me!

You’re right. He acts like they’re journalists. Their response shows that they are just partisan shills. What they report is dictated by party affiliation over all else.

>Could Juan be in the process of ending his support of Obama?

Not likely. If you read the whole article, he’s back in the Obama fold by the end, merely asking for more clarification, and completely suppressing his outrage.

What good does an outrage against this man do, he does what he wants to do by Executive Order. When will the left wake up and realize who and what the guy is.
