One has to wonder if the drone murders eventually lead to another 911 tragedy in the US will Rev. Jeremiah Wrong accuse Obama, from the pulpit, of bringing 'America's chickens home to roost?" Somehow I think he will not, although in fact that will be precisely what happened. Amazing, is it not, how narratives, accounts, condemnations, recriminations from the Radical Leftists are so specifically related to whether Democrats or Republicans are in power?

Is America Ensnared in an Endless War?

"When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal."

So said Richard Nixon in his interviews with David Frost. Nixon was talking about wiretaps and surreptitious entries to protect lives and safeguard national security in a violent and anarchic war decade.

The Nixon haters pronounced themselves morally sickened.

Fast forward to our new century. For, since 9/11, we have heard rather more extravagant claims by American presidents.

Under George W. Bush, it was presidential authority to waterboard, torture, rendition and hold enemy aliens in indefinite detention at Guantanamo.

Under Barack Obama, we don't have a Nixon "enemies list"...
