Can the president assassinate anyone he wants to?

[Garb]

No way to know until we tried. We supposedly almost got him.

True, but what does his death really solve anyways? Really, I would like for all those soldiers that died to still be alive, I would like our economy to be a lot better off, and I would like to have my liberty back from an over intrusive government. I just don't see how this one man was more of a threat than the weight of an oppressive and greedy government.

And how should we fight this war?

With lots of checkpoints on the streets, pet-downs, radiating the populace, spread anti-weapon propaganda, federalize everything you can, waste trillions of taxdollars, wiretap anybody you want to, create a gigantic fearmongering agencies to spread your terror message, put tens of thousands of your own citizens on terrorist lists, instruct the country to rat each other out at the drop of a hat, put cameras on every street corner, put chips in all the serfs' National ID cards, invade countries and call the resistance 'terrorists', set plenty of precedence for assassinating enemies of the state, have plenty of secret prisons throughout the world and practice torturing suspects, hide all the evidence, and wrap yourself in the flag and play country music as the ****ing republic burns.

Which one? Afghanistan, Iraq or the one against terror? Afghanistan and Iraq should have been left alone all along ...

That's about what i thought you were going to say. I can't have a civil conversation with someone who talks about something they know nothing about so I'm just going to tap out of this thread. Have a good day.

Sounds like a bad music video.

While the US can pull out of Iraq & Afghanistan, at this point it would cause more harm than good and would have a negative effect on the Long War. Unless you want the US to become totally isolationist the Long War is nowhere near finished and ending the wars in the middle east will not stop terrorism.

Lol, you actually mentioned all three "wars". So it was completely legitimate for me to ask which one you were talking about.

Sounds like a bad music video.

I'm thinking Toby Keith's "Have You Forgotten" remixed with clips of the German Reichstag burning and checkpoints everywhere. Have you forgotten?
