Former Bush Speechwriter Thiessen: Obama killing too many terrorists

[samplegirl]

Former Bush 43 speechwriter Mark Thiessen, who once said if we’re ever attacked again it’s Obama’s fault and that he’s “the most dangerous man to ever occupy the Oval Office,” now says Obama is killing too many terrorists. See, we need more alive terrorists so we can torture them and get information out of them. Having them dead does no good, and Obama is killing them all. Jason Linkins at Huffpost put it well when he characterized Thiessen’s position being that “killing terrorists is a national security risk.”

Today, the Obama administration is no longer attempting to capture men like these alive; it is simply killing them. This may be satisfying, but it comes at a price. With every drone strike that vaporizes a senior al Qaeda leader, actionable intelligence is vaporized along with him. Dead terrorists can’t tell you their plans to strike America.

They also can’t strike America if they’re… DEAD.

The two biggest terrorists in the world walk freely within our own borders.

6. That bastard will always have 'former" on his resume....

9. Another example that Obama is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

How many 2nd in command terrorists did they kill...one with every complaint that they weren't doing enough, if I recall.

So many, it became a joke.

Did this jerk complain about that?

[tuvor]

10. And what would happen if you kill all the terrorists?

You wouldn't be able to play that fear-card subset anymore.

Can't have that, now, can we?
