 Obama Lawyer Claims they Can Murder U.S. “Belligerents”

 bel·lig·er·ent –

1. Inclined or eager to fight; hostile or aggressive.

2. Of, pertaining to, or engaged in warfare.

These adjectives mean having or showing an eagerness to fight. Belligerent refers to a tendency to hostile behavior: A belligerent reporter badgered the politician.

The Obama administration’s top Pentagon lawyer, the Defense Department general counsel Jeh C. Johnson, said on Wednesday that the Obama administration has the right to target and kill U.S. citizens deemed “belligerents” by the Obama administration no matter what the location of the “belligerent” (outside or inside the United States) without due process and that the courts have no jurisdiction to intervene under any circumstances.

“Belligerents who also happen to be U.S. citizens do not enjoy immunity where non-citizen belligerents are valid military objectives,” Jeh C. Johnson

Since when did someone who our White House decides has a “tendency” toward aggressive behavior toward our occupation of foreign lands become a “valid military objective”?

What does that mean? It means that anyone who could pose a threat to our invasion and occupation of sovereign nations can and will be killed. We used to call these operations “black bag ops” or death squads. Now, with the advent of the new left-cover president, we normalize the process, legitimizing outright state sanctioned murder and death squads under the cover of Peace Prize Obama, the “Greatest Man of Our Generation“

And now his mouthpieces claim they can do it to anyone anywhere no matter what your constitutional rights say. Remember the left-wing outcry back when the Bush administration’s lawyers convoluted the law and claimed the right to detain, rendition, and torture foreign “combatants” at will? Remember the dramatic beating of the breasts and gnashing of the teeth of all those “progressives” when McCain and Lieberman pushed the Enemy Belligerent  Bill in 2010 and 2011? Where is the moral outrage now? Seems to me all I hear coming out of the “progressive” left is angst about how many women were on the panel hashing out insurance coverage of contraceptives. I guess the party line towers in the democratic party have bigger concerns about whether or not they get reimbursed for their morning after pills than they do about “belligerents” down the block being deemed a valid military objective. They’re only concerned with what directly effects them.

How quickly they forget.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out –
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out –
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out –
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me. Martin Niemoller

Joha, in the Arabic culture, is a character on which stories were spun; he, Joha, sometimes was smart, wise, and some other times stupid or funny, depending on the situation, political or whatever it may be, involving the people.

One day, a man came running to Joha and said, "Joha, fornication has become rampant in the eastern side of the village. Joha said, "I do not care. It is not in my side of the village"

A month later, the same man said to Joha, "Now fornication has hit your side of the village". Joha answered, "I do not care. It did nor hit the quarter in which I live"

A few weeks later, the same man said, "Now, Joha, fornication is in your quarter". Joha replied, "I do not care. It has not yet reached the street on which I live".

A week later, the man said to Joha, "Joha, fornication has completely comromised your stree". Joha said, "I do not care. My House is clean"

A few days later, the man told Joha that his house is no more clean. Joha told him that he did not care as long as his rear-end is untouched.

For how long Joha, or the American people, are going tostop being submissive before their personal rear-ends get abused by their government and politicians?!  - The Blogger.
