I see a lot of posts saying that "we" would not have approved of taking out Anwar al-Awlaki if Bush had done it. Not me. I would have approved of it. I would have approved of Bush taking out OBL too.
Of course, he didn't do that. Bush and his Republican "panic-attack" approach to security failed miserably. But if Bush and the Republicans hadn't been such world-class, metaphysics-straining f-ups and had gotten OBL and al-Awlaki (like Obama did), I would have applauded.
