    I'd love to hear the rationale for why and where Obama, Biden, or the next US Liberal whackjob president can unilaterally kill people outside of any conflict should be classified and never explained outside of a select few.
    You are referring to me? I'm the "strawman?"
    Regardless, we dont have to imagine other Presidents doing that.
    President Clinton: 1993 and 1998.
    President Obama: 2009 and 2011.
    And did the Republicans at the time, warn the Military against following "Illegal orders?"
    No.

    TBH I really dont mind bantering back/forth with you. It's- to me- done with respect. But dont lose your perspective here: These weren't secret actions- they announced them, there isn't a "secret court" opinion about it- It was a DOJ opinion that they are after, and Yes, part of this does involve Intelligence collection- so yes there maybe there is sensitive data on how we targeted those particular boats.
    Finally its not classified nor "explained outside a select few"................... we and the press are beating this dead horse openly, arent we?

    PS: Just so you know, this Selective Outrage from you (respectfully you are on "that side") and the left is old, really old.
    Please stop, it was old when the Clintons did it, got irritating when Pres Obama did it and just non-stop under Pres Biden.
    And now, well it's TDS.
    (Same thing with the "victim" attitude or "We are the party of the working person" etc etc)

    And dont ramble on when Political groups "unilaterally kill people outside of any conflict."
    Mr Kirk was murdered unilaterally and the Left shrugged and outright said, "He deserved it."
