How many right wing "patriots " will applaud this development ?
The term, 'right wing patriots' is an adjective phrase describing a mirage of non-existence.
How many left wing "patriots" first response to this welcome development will be to attack their fellow Americans?
Your comment says you don't get it John. This is beyond right wing or left wing politics. It is about right and wrong and taking out that POS terrorist scum was the right thing to do
Exactly, the right wing hates it when the US CIA kills a terrorist. You nailed it JR.
Arvo John...don't have a problem with it at all..
I am not right, left, centre or anything else..
To many people get to hung up on slapping political labels on anything and everything these days...
Some people on this planet should not be here..and if one is exterminated and I can think of a few more that should go...the better for all of us...
Well said, shona.
Many would tell you to fuck off, since you put it that way.
Left wing agitator once again stirring up divisive shit.
Well I will certainly applaud taking out any significant al-Qaida leadership ... especially with no civilian casualties.
I applaud as well. That old goat terrorist was long overdue meeting his maker. He can now roast in Hell right next to his buddy Bin Laden!
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!!!
This is great news! Right on!
Couldn't a drone accidently go off coarse and hit the Kremlin??
The Indians accidently lobbed one into Pakistan the other month, so can be done...
Just a thought...😁
Far as al Qaida goes...the song "another one bites the dust" springs to mind...
