I guess GOP Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois and GOP Representative Peter King of New York didn't get the memo on being against everything Obama.
On a recent trip to Libya, Senator Kirk had this to say about the president.
This is a victory for the United States military, for our British and French allies, for NATO, for the president of the United States, but most importantly for the Libyan people. Unquestioned kudos goes to the president and his team, but the challenges are not over yet.
This was a success by President Obama and his team. Any military conflict has ups or downs or things you might have done differently … but we have all the makings of a very strong U.S. ally in Libya.
And this from Representative King on the Al-Awlaki killing.
The killing of al-Awlaki is a tremendous tribute to Pres Obama & the men and women of our intelligence community.
You're damn right on both counts, boys, Kudos to both of you for daring to be "impure."

It isn't often that I agree with Glenn Greenwald, but hey, I can't disagree with any of what he says here.
I'd say food for thought, but I seriously doubt any of the partisans here will be able to digest it.
Cool link Juris. The Update portion reminded me of the old days on this blog.
Also, response in thr Obama Jobs Plan is there today Mark. I went fishin over the weekend.
This just proves that Obama wasn't serious about closing Gitmo. EVER. It's simply easier to kill the enemy on the battle field than to have to deal with capture/trying them in a court of law.
That's really messy, and the American people generally don't agree with letting terrorists have a nice cushy life in prison. But they sure have it easy at Club Gitmo!
