And so the terrorism continues, we reserve the right to attack anyone and to kill as many as it takes in order to protect ourselves. Doesn't anybody see just what this is? The whip of despotism across the back of the everyone else. We have become terrorists ourselves.

I have to say that my husband watched an In depth documentary recently about the Seals operation Into Pakistan for Bin Laden and we both felt thoroughly uncomfortable with the whole thing.

That aside, It Is the very tactics used there that fuels the hatred for America and The West.

Nobody, neither the US nor anybody else, have the right to make unilateral attacks within another Soverign state.

Regardless of the opinions voiced, Brennan said he has never been in a situation where legal interpretation prevented the U.S. from acting in the best interest of the country.


Is indefensible - the legal position should always come before a country's decision to use military force in another country. If you implement that policy then you have truly become terrorists and a rogue state.
