Killer also nationalized US citizen. Apparently, he's been here long enough, he attended high school and college in TN.
Multiple people who said they went to Red Bank High School with Abdulazeez sent the Times Free Press photos of what appears to be his senior picture and senior quote in the school's yearbook.
"My name causes national security alerts," the quote reads. "What does yours do?"

Nah, we need more "gun-free zones." Clearly, they're keeping people safe. In fact, we need to ban all guns, because criminals totally respect laws. Finally, we need to use the power of the state to force the rich to redistribute their wealth, since every crime that isn't white-collar is only because of "income inequality" and nothing else!

You know, that's a good point CN. Maybe everyone should be given a gun, free of charge, in order to ensure everyone's 2nd Amendment is being fulfilled! Universal gun care! (I actually am fine with the 2nd Amendment, but I'm not dumb enough to think that less guns wouldn't equal less gun deaths/crimes... the data is pretty overwhelmingly solid on that, unless you think America is the world's exception to that.)

Here, I'll do it for you since you are so terrified of wikipedia:

A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument which was not advanced by that opponent.[1]

The so-called typical "attacking a straw man" argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition by covertly replacing it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and then to refute or defeat that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the original proposition.[2][3]

This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged emotional issues where a fiery, entertaining "battle" and the defeat of an "enemy" may be more valued than critical thinking or understanding both sides of the issue.

Artful Dodger is a nimble and elusive Warrior. When strongly attacked he changes the subject with a diversionary counterattack. For example, if in a moment of pique his opponent refers to him to him as a "sonofabitch", Artful Dodger will not only demand a public apology for the insult to his own mother, but will castigate his opponent on behalf all mothers everywhere. Knowing full well that staying on topic works to his disadvantage, Artful Dodger will not allow himself to be pinned down.

Like his Congressional namesake, Filibuster attempts to influence the forum simply by holding the floor. His monotonous hectoring and prodigious output of verbiage rapidly clears the field of other Warriors.

The most common variants of Ideologueare conservative and liberal. Smug and self satisfied in their certitudes, Ideologue's opinions are merely a loose collection of intellectual conceits, and e is genuinely astonished, bewildered and and indignant that his views are not universally embraced as the Truth. He regards the opposing point of view as a form of cognitive dissonance whose only cure is relentless propagandizing and browbeating. The conservative iteration of Ideologue parades himself as a logical, clear thinker, while the liberal version trumpets his higher level of mental, spiritual and social awareness.

Nitpick compensates for his limited fighting ability by pouncing on points that are only marginally relevant to the discussion. For example, if his opponent in a sports forum conflict casually mentioned the Cubs' 4-2 victory in the 1908 World Series, Nitpick would quickly counterattack with something like, "4-2 !? Any moron knows the Cubs won the Series 4-1! Someone so ignorant about baseball history can't possibly know anything about salary caps!" Even if the minor point is conceded by his opponent Nitpick will return to it whenever the battle turns against him. Though weak, Nitpick is very tenacious and will never admit defeat. Nitpick is a close ally of Artful Dodger. (http://www.flamewarriorsguide.com/warriorshtm/artfuldodger.htm)



For Tireless Rebutter there is no such thing as a trivial dispute. He regards all challenges as barbarians at the gates. His unflagging tenacity in making his points numbs and eventually wears down the opposition. Confident that his arguments are sound, Tireless Rebutter can't understand why he is universally loathed.

Any moron knows the Cubs won the Series 4-1! Someone so ignorant about baseball history can't possibly know anything about salary caps!" Even if the minor point is conceded by his opponent Nitpick will return to it whenever the battle turns against him. Though weak, Nitpick is very tenacious and will never admit defeat. Nitpick is a close ally of Artful Dodger. (http://www.flamewarriorsguide.com/warriorshtm/artfuldodger.htm)



For Tireless Rebutter there is no such thing as a trivial dispute. He regards all challenges as barbarians at the gates. His unflagging tenacity in making his points numbs and eventually wears down the opposition. Confident that his arguments are sound, Tireless Rebutter can't understand why he is universally loathed.

The word is hard to define down. Some might argue that, because the shooter did not wear military markings and isn't part of a unit, it could be considered "terrorism" as it was an attack based on political leanings. Of course, there's probably a ton of those kinds of attacks in US all the time... it's just that the person's name isn't Arabic so.. .*shrug*

Even if this guy were not official military, attacking against US military aggressors would qualify him as combatant.

On December 30 of last year, ABC News reported on (http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/tariq-khan-killed-cia-drone/story?id=15258659#.Ty6WdVxAaYg) a 16-year-old Pakistani boy, Tariq Khan, who was killed with his 12-year-old cousin when a car in which he was riding was hit with a missile fired by a U.S. drone. As I noted at the time (http://www.salon.com/2012/01/03/matt_taibbi_on_the_2012_election/), the report contained this extraordinary passage buried in the middle:


Asked for documentation of Tariq and Waheed’s deaths, Akbar did not provide pictures of the missile strike scene. Virtually none exist, since drones often target people who show up at the scene of an attack.




What made that sentence so amazing was that it basically amounts to a report that the U.S. first kills people with drones, then fires on the rescuers and others who arrive at the scene where the new corpses and injured victims lie.

In a just-released, richly documented report (http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2012/02/04/obama-terror-drones-cia-tactics-in-pakistan-include-targeting-rescuers-and-funerals/), the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, on behalf of the Sunday Times, documents that this is exactly what the U.S. is doing — and worse:


The CIA’s drone campaign in Pakistan has killed dozens of civilians who had gone to help rescue victims or were attending funerals, an investigation by the Bureau for the Sunday Times has revealed.
The findings are published just days after President Obama claimed that the drone campaign in Pakistan was a “targeted, focused effort” that “has not caused a huge number of civilian casualties”. . . .

A three month investigation including eye witness reports has found evidence thatat least 50 civilians were killed in follow-up strikes when they had gone to help victims. More than 20 civilians have also been attacked in deliberate strikes on funerals and mourners. The tactics have been condemned by leading legal experts.
Although the drone attacks were started under the Bush administration in 2004, they have been stepped up enormously under Obama.

There have been 260 attacks by unmanned Predators or Reapers in Pakistan by Obama’s administration – averaging one every four days.


As I indicated, there have been scattered, mostly buried indications in the American media that drones have been targeting and killing rescuers. As the Bureau put it: “Between May 2009 and June 2011, at least fifteen attacks on rescuers were reported by credible news media, including the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/19/world/asia/19pstan.html?_r=1&ref=world), CNN (http://articles.cnn.com/2010-12-28/world/pakistan.drone.strike_1_drone-strikes-drone-attack-tribal-region?_s=PM:WORLD), Associated Press (http://www.dailyamericannews.com/newsnow/x1738176407/Suspected-US-missiles-strikes-kill-11-in-Pakistan), ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=12489739) and Al Jazeera (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia/2010/01/20101613294018697.html).” Killing civilians attending the funerals of drone victims is also well-documented by the Bureau’s new report:


Other tactics are also raising concerns. On June 23 2009 the CIA killed Khwaz Wali Mehsud, a mid-ranking Pakistan Taliban commander. They planned to use his body as bait to hook a larger fish – Baitullah Mehsud, then the notorious leader of the Pakistan Taliban.

“A plan was quickly hatched to strike Baitullah Mehsud when he attended the man’s funeral,” according to Washington Post national security correspondent Joby Warrick, in his recent book The Triple Agent (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Triple-Agent-Al-Qaeda-Mole-Infiltrated/dp/0385534183/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1324291025&sr=1-1). “True, the commander… happened to be very much alive as the plan took shape. But he would not be for long.”
The CIA duly killed Khwaz Wali Mehsud in a drone strike that killed at least five others. . . .

Up to 5,000 people attended Khwaz Wali Mehsud’s funeral that afternoon, including not only Taliban fighters but many civilians. US drones struck again (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/world/asia/24pstan.html?ref=global-home), killing up to 83 people. As many as 45 were civilians, among them reportedly ten children and four tribal leaders.



The Bureau quotes several experts stating the obvious (http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2012/02/04/a-question-of-legality/): that targeting rescuers and funeral attendees is patently illegal and almost certainly constitutes war crimes:


Clive Stafford-Smith, the lawyer who heads the Anglo-US legal charity Reprieve, believes that such strikes “are like attacking the Red Cross on the battlefield. It’s not legitimate to attack anyone who is not a combatant.”
Christof Heyns, a South African law professor who is United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extra- judicial Executions, agrees. “Allegations of repeat strikes coming back after half an hour when medical personnel are on the ground are very worrying”, he said. ‘To target civilians would be crimes of war.” Heyns is calling for an investigation into the Bureau’s findings.



What makes this even more striking is how conservative — almost to the point of inaccuracy — is the Bureau’s methodology and reporting. Its last news-making report, issued last July, was designed to prove (http://www.salon.com/2011/07/19/drones/) (and unquestionably did prove) that top Obama counter-Terrorism adviser John Brennan lied when he said this about drone strikes in Pakistan: “in the last year, ‘there hasn’t been a single collateral death because of the exceptional proficiency, precision of the capabilities that we’ve been able to develop.” The Bureau’s July, 2011 report (http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2011/07/18/washingtons-untrue-claims-no-civilian-deaths-in-pakistan-drone-strikes/)concluded that Brennan’s claim was patently false: “a detailed examination by the Bureau of 116 CIA ‘secret’ drone strikes in Pakistan since August 2010 has uncovered at least 10 individual attacks in which 45 or more civilians appear to have died.” As I noted at the time (http://www.salon.com/2011/07/19/drones/) — and again when I interviewed Chris Woods of the Bureau (http://ggdrafts.blogspot.com/2011/07/transcript-chris-woods.html) — their methodology virtually guarantees significant under-counting of civilian deaths (and, indeed, their July, 2011, count was much lower than other credible reports (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jul/17/us-drone-strikes-pakistan-waziristan)) because they only count someone as a “civilian” when they can absolutely prove beyond any doubt that the person who died by a drone strike was one. The difficulty of reporting and obtaining verifiable information in Waziristan ensures that some civilian deaths will not be susceptible to that high level of documentary proof, and thus will go un-counted by the Bureau’s methodolgy.

The point is that the Bureau is extremely scrupulous, perhaps to a fault, in the claims it makes about civilian drone fatalities. Its findings here about deliberate targeting of rescuers and funeral attendees are supported by ample verified witness testimony (http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2012/02/04/witnesses-speak-out/), field research and public reports, all of which the Bureau has documented in full (http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2012/02/04/get-the-data-obamas-terror-drones/). As Woods said by email: “We have been working for months with field researchers in Waziristan to independently verify the original reports. In 12 cases we are able to confirm that rescuers and mourners were indeed attacked.”


As the report notes, it’s particularly remarkable that these findings come on the heels of President Obama’s recent boasting (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16804247) about the efficacy of drones and his specific claim that the policy has “not caused a huge number of civilian casualties”, adding that it was “important for everybody to understand that this thing is kept on a very tight leash.” Compare that claim to the Bureau’s almost certainly under-stated conclusion that it has “found that since Obama took office three years ago, between 282 and 535 civilians have been credibly reported as killed including more than 60 children.” And targeting rescuers and funeral attendees of your victims is quite the opposite of keeping the drone program on a “very tight leash.” As Samiullah Khan, one of the Bureau’s field researchers put it:

In a war situation no one is allowed to attack the Red Cross. Rescuers are like that. You are not allowed to attack rescuers. You know, the number of Taliban is increasing in Waziristan day by day, because innocents and rescuers are being killed day by day.



Strictly speaking, the legality of attacking rescuers may be ambiguous because, as the Bureau put it: “It is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions to attack rescuers wearing emblems of the Red Cross or Red Crescent. But what if rescuers wear no emblems, or if civilians are mixed in with militants, as the Bureau’s investigation into drone attacks in Waziristan has repeatedly found?” But there’s nothing ambiguous about the morality of that, or of attacking funerals (recall the worst part of theBaghdad attack video released by WikiLeaks (http://www.salon.com/2010/04/07/iraq_video/): that the Apache helicopter first fired on the group containing Reuters journalists, then fired again on the people who arrived to help wounded). Whatever else is true, it seems highly likely that Barack Obama is the first Nobel Peace laureate who, after receiving his award, presided over the deliberate targeting of rescuers and funeral mourners of his victims.

Obviously there are laws. Otherwise we wouldn't wear uniforms, or have ROE, or any number of things. Are those laws always obeyed, of course not. Do military leaders sometimes make immoral/wrong/etc decisions? Yes, also of course. But that doesn't invalidate the law. Just because a cop kills someone doesn't mean that laws for murder are off the book. (In practice it might hard to convict, but the law is still there.

I'm not digging through ST to satisfy your curiosity. Believe me or dont. And if the attack is performed by anyone that is a rogue actor, then he is not a lawful combatant. The only "law" that justifies it is the law of combat as define by Geneva Conventions. Rogue actors don't gt legal protection, whether they are targeting soldiers or civilians.

Now maybe if he were some sort of militia? I don't know the specifics on how that would break out.

And I don't know whether or not it would be legally defined as terrorism. The general definition is non-lawful (read: un sanctioned) violence to support a political cause. All I know is that he isn't a "combatant" in the same sense as other armed forces that conform to international law.

They are fired by men and women in uniform. There might be some contractors, which you might have some slight opening on. (Akin to how the law is sketchy when it comes to mercy hired by the US like Blackwater).

Anyways, obviously those operators are legitimate targets. You know who else is a legit target? My family living on base. Housing areas are legitimate areas to bomb.

But obviously now you've just been pulling a Boutons. Why don't you get pissed off at those assholes for not wearing uniforms? The only reasons the assholes in the ME don't drop bombs on us is because they CANT. Don't think they wouldn't. In a second.

Should the US do everything within its power to ensure proper use of force? Yes. Will there be collateral damage? Of course. This isn't playtime. Personally I'm for more isolationism. But you can't expect US forces to be able to hit every bad guy, and ONLY the bad guy, every time. It's unrealistic.

Lazy excuse. Oil hasn't been cheaper than it is now for decades. It's about hegemony, influence, dominance and power. For no specific or utilitarian need, just to swing our dicks. Americans are the dumbest 1st world country on the planet, and our foreign policy decisions back that up.


Your whole argument is making things out of straw. When did I say that drone operators were "heroes"? Are you pissy because I value American lives more than ME lives? Well, sorry.

American bombs kill way more innocent women and children overseas than terrorists kill on our side of the pond. We've literally lost like 40 lives to "terrorism" in the US over the past 10 years while we have massacred thousands of innocents in Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Sudan, and on and on and on.

On top of that, we arm to the teeth the most racist and violent middle eastern country (Israel) and every couple of years they slaughter 500 children and 1500 civilians as if they were brushing their teeth. It's disgusting foreign policy.

Yet we freak out because 5 of our warriors were killed.

:cry it's terrorism if it happens to us, but not to them :cry




Did I say "who cares" about collateral damage? I note the reality of warfare. War sucks. But thinking there won't be any innocents killed is fanciful and stupid. Calling it "collateral" is because that's what it is; otherwise we would be intentionally indiscriminately bombing families.

Umm, we basically are " indiscriminately bombing families". We have no clue who we are bombing:

Please. "Idolize". They're a bunch of bat crazy fuck heads who deserve to be killed wherever they are found. But the WAY we (US military) go about it is completely deranged. They don't operate by any rules. But that doesn't mean we should stoop to their level. The simple facts are linked in my previous responses. We bomb weddings. We bomb funerals. We bomb without knowing the exact target, based on "patterns". Just because we're first world war criminals, and I recognize and condemn that, does not mean there is a moral equivalence with the barbarians who intentionally attack civilians.

But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works: the president makes decisions. He's the Decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head.
