barack obama, the pentagon and the cia finally bagged their latest harmless straw-man idiot with a couple of very expensive robots and a few missiles. anwar al-awlaki, american citizen, mostly-harmless ranting moron, scary muslim straw man and now, unfortunately, martyr, was murdered by the united states cia and military at the order of the president today, along with a few other people we don't care enough to talk about, with a robot drone and missile so that the president and the military/intelligence infrastructure can pretend that they are 'winning' a 'war' against 'terror'. al-awlaki's greatest crime was being able to speak fluent english. his second greatest crime was not being an enthusiastic believer in such bullshit as 'american exceptionalism'. the big problem for all of us is that al-awlaki was an american citizen. back when we had a constitution, american citizens had protections against such slights as extra-judicial murder and assassination. now, we have assholes and morons of all stripes lining up to cheer this outrage.
whatever al-awlaki's crimes beyond his english fluency may have been we will never know. right now, the only evidence we have that he was a danger to anyone anywhere is the word of his killers, and they are not known to be very smart or very honest. all independent evidence states that this clown was just some guy who poked the eye of the american hegemony with his idiot rantings, so he had to die. the fact that he was an american citizen is conveniently ignored by the cheerleading fuckers. america has moved far beyond a nation of laws, and this is merely the latest example. the president used the full force of the u.s. military and intelligence forces to murder an american citizen without trial, without evidence and without reason. how long will it be until a president uses a drone to assassinate a citizen on u.s. soil? anyone who cheers the murder of al-awlaki is either a monster or a fool of gigantic proportions.
al-awlaki was a perfect scary monster for consumption in the u.s. a man with little or no connection to actual operations against the interests of the united states but instead a u.s. citizen who didn't subscribe to the 'america fuck yeah' worldview, he was a safe target and could be held up as a traitor for the cheering monkeys back home. he's another john walker lindh, a bad bad american who deserved to suffer and die so that the rest of america could feel better. lindh was a harmless goof and al-awlaki was just as ineffectual. the u.s. government has attempted to connect him to every act of violence in the past 10 years, but anyone dumb enough to buy that load of horseshit is free to wallow in their own fetid ignorance forever and ever.
watching the sickening self-congratulating today all over the media from elected and military officials along with tee vee buffoons and random internet jerkoffs is both one of the most disgusting as well as one of the most pathetic displays in recent american history. whatever potential the american experiment had is long dead. the only american exceptionalism extant is exceptional evil and stupidity.
