Terrorists, dude, terrorists.
Make up your mind people. Either Obama has done nothing to fight terrorism or he's a horrible, nasty meanie.
Are you having a conversation in your head?
And these are people HE decides are terrorists. No oversight, no trial, no nothing. Just assassination. He could declare you one any moment and send in the hit squad. But you're too fucking dumb to realize any of that.
If American citizens had gone to Germany and joined the Axis war effort, I would see no problem with FDR targeting them to be bombed into oblivion if they could not be captured and brought to trial. It would be idiotic to whine about "no oversight, no trial, no nothing". They are enemy fighters, not liquor store robbers.
There is no difference here, and I don't have a problem with Bush or Obama taking out people with whom we are at war. They may be beyond the reach of a pair of handcuffs, but they are not beyond the reach of our military weapons. So be it.

Who decides who is or is not an "enemy combatant?" And why can't that be an open process?
