GOBama!
There has been very little he’s done since taking the oath that I’ve agreed with, but at least on this one issue, I think most of us are in complete agreement with him:
The CIA’s bombing campaign against al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan continued with two more attacks today, an indication, senior officials say, that President Barack Obama has approved the U.S. strategy that has killed at least eight of al Qaeda’s top 20 leaders since July 2008.
The two attacks today in Pakistan were the first since President Obama took office on Tuesday.
Asked about it at his daily press briefing, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, “I’m not going to discuss that matter.”
During the campaign, Obama called for cross-border attacks against high-value al Qaeda targets in Pakistan, even before the CIA campaign began.
Pakistani officials and villagers told ABCNews.com that 17 people were killed in two successive strikes against compounds in North and South Waziristan.
A senior U.S. official said one of al Qaeda’s top 20 leaders may be among the dead today, although it is too soon to be certain.
Since July, the CIA has carried out a relentless bombing campaign against that has targeted the top leadership of al Qaeda, based on a sophisticated intelligence collection effort similar to what was used against insurgents in Iraq.
Eight of the top 20 have been killed in the attacks, according to the U.S. official.
“Al qaeda leaders are freaking out over this,” said one person briefing on the bombing campaign. “They have begun to punish local tribesmen who they suspect have tipped off the U.S. to their presence and this is beginning to drive a wedge between the al Qaeda people and the locals.”
I’m diggin’ it.

Agreed. I support President Obama completely here. As long as he prosecutes the WOT agressively, I’ll be behind him 100%. Although I don’t see how this squares with closing Gitmo and suspending the terrorist trials. Mixed signals, anyone?
Now let’s sit back and see how long it takes for the Code Pink types to demonstrate against him and engage in stunts like waiving fake bloody hands in front of Hillary’s face.
I’m diggin’ it too. Too bad we can’t redirect fire and get some of AQ’s allies on American soil without wiping out the entire Congressional Hall…….. I like old buildings.
Of course, according to the left, doesn’t this make Obama a war criminal???
Anything that freaks out Al Quaeda is all right with me!
(NY Cop–Only if they’re being consistent. Do you expect that?
It matters not to me who kills terrorists as long as they remain dead.
My advice to the soldiers and Marines on the battlefield: take no prisoners. We no longer have a sunny tropical resort to interrogate them.
This was the right the thing to do – I hope he keeps this up even when the extreme left and the rest of the world begins to pressure him about it.
It does seem a contradiction to me that he has no problem with killing people in this way, but doesn’t want tough interrogations of terrorists caught on the battlefield????
Seems like a contradiction to me.
