somber

I just read an AP report about Clinton's interview on FAUX news with Chris Wallace. First of all, I didn't see the interview as it happened, since I try to steer clear of FAUX (and network news in general). But something struck me about the quotes from Clinton re: his efforts to kill bin Laden.
"We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody's gotten since."

I don't believe that I'm naive about the way our government "protects us." National security is as important a job as it is a dirty job, it would seem.
But goddamnit, that just breaks my heart when I read about our president saying "We paid somebody to kill that a-hole, and they just didn't quite get the job done..."

Think about it like this. Our president, ADMITTED to ordering a hit, like some Mafioso. Like he's goddamn Tony Soprano.

Aren't we supposed to be above this type of thing? That doesn't exactly make you want to stand up and scream, "Land of the free and home of the brave!"

Maybe I'm just disappointed that we didn't use our own Green Berets to do the job, or some of those multi-million dollar guided missles.
