"SANAA, Yemen – The U.S.-born terror mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki has been killed, Fox News confirms. The 40-year-old, who was born in New Mexico, was linked to the 2009 Christmas Day "underwear bomber" plot -- a narrowly foiled bid to blow up a passenger jet approaching Detroit

Awlaki was killed with several other suspected al Qaeda operatives, the Yemeni defense ministry said. The statement did not elaborate on the circumstances of Awlaki's death.

However, tribal sources told AFP that Awlaki was killed in an air strike which hit two vehicles in Marib province, an al Qaeda stronghold in eastern Yemen early Friday.

So our second boogie man of the likes is killed. I guess he didn't follow orders from the pentagon that he dined at after 9/11.

Qaeda-Linked Imam Dined at Pentagon after 9/11

Or is it another fake death story like OBL

I can't believe anyone would find this to be good news.

Is it good that American Citizens can be executed without a trial of any kind or without actually being charged with a crime? Does not sound like good news to me. Of course he is credited with putting the "underwear bomber" into action, even though the underwear bomber was escorted onto the plane to begin with and Anwar Al-Awlaki would have had no authority at all to get airport staff to violate their own security measures and allow the underwear bomber onto the plane.

Yeah I was thinking that too. Can our government kill our citizens that currently live in the USA with no trial just because they are labeled as a "terrorist"? Where does it end?

The 40-year-old, who was born in New Mexico, was linked to the 2009 Christmas Day "underwear bomber" plot -- a narrowly foiled bid to blow up a passenger jet approaching Detroit.

He was also linked to the failed Times Square bomb attempt in May last year and the November 2009 Fort Hood shooting, in which 13 people were killed by a gunman at the U.S. Army base.

He wasn't some innocent. He picked a side, he chose to fight. He lost, he died. Don't expect flag-draped cheers in front of the White House, but one less enemy is a score for us. (In my book)

Lets just say he is guilty (for the sake of argument)... so every other USA citizen criminal that is "thought to be" guilty shouldn't have a trial? He is labeled "terrorist suspect", suspect doesn't mean guilty.


He also dined at the pentagon after 9/11. Last time I checked most terrorist suspects don't get that privileged.

I hate religion and I'm not putting it out there to try and make him seem like a "good guy". I personally have no clue about this guy personally other than what the media has told me.




But here he is in a speech saying that the killing of civilians is wrong. He also speaks against tyranny and the USA foreign policy.



Gives you something to consider. Though I know people don't always follow what they preach.

Personally.. I'm glad they got the bastard. No need to let ACLU have their day in court.

Unfortunately for the rest of the world, their dumbed-down ideology (can't refer to it as a faith/religion) has already spread and contaminated many young minds. This the case where no matter how fractured their infrastructure is, you may see a lot of "lone wolf" fanatics carrying on or AQ diluting into new sects. It's kind of like the drug cartels.

As long as this conflict continues, the clock is only ticking faster for all of us.

Peace be with you.

the problem with killing innocent people is....................wait for it.........

wait for it...................

who the heck decides they are innocent?

he wants to kill you and me, are we guilty of something?

i don't kill puppies either.

poop happens and people die in war.

innocents? then they should leave them out of everything, right?

what? not enough room to fight?

"take it outside" as we say.

from the fox news link


Yemeni security and tribal officials said an air strike thought to have been carried out by U.S. aircraft on Friday targeted a convoy of cars traveling in the eastern province of Marib but could not say whether al-Awlaki was in the convoy.


Strange.
Didn't someone announce too soon that Adam Gadhan,( the American who turned into a taliban), was also killed/captured.... and that turned out to be false?

I honestly don't see the point of having a courtroom in the middle of a battlefield. You fight a war. You pick a side. You win or you lose.
Sometimes it is that simple.

W O W..

.Another "fake al-CIA-duh terrorist" "dead". My note to the MSM: Yawn.

Note to everyone else - Frightening real life scenario wake up call:

Another post referenced this, namely, what if the POTUS/ congress/corporation decides, (hypothetically, of course), that You, John and Jane Q. Public, are domestic terrorists. And what, pray tell, is the definition of a domestic terrorist?
www.canadafreepress.com...

[Quote from source]

How hard is it to qualify as an “extreme right-wing radical domestic terrorist?” Not as hard as you might think…
“Right-wing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
This is exactly how Obama’s DHS now defines “extreme right-wing radical domestic terrorist,” and this is officially the primary concern of Obama’s DHS. They are far less concerned with Al Qaeda, open borders, terror and drug trafficking, Iranian or North Korean nukes. It is the average American that they fear most!



So what is stopping him/them/ whoever from ordering you,the law abiding, patriotic American citizens who love your country and constitution, to be assassinated on American soil????

Unfortunately, not a lot.

These are just a warm up exercises meant to condition the American citizens to say "oh thank goodness they are keeping us safe!" from Whatever particular flavor of boogie-man of the week they are currently serving up.

Guess what? The bad guys are whoever our corporate owned puppets..( whoops! I meant federal government).... DECIDES they are.






The US now "publicly" orders and carries out assassinations, and most of us don't even blink an eyelash.




Remember the old story of the frog in the boiling pot of water? Frogs: Meet Pot
