Obama Reportedly Told Staff He’s ‘Really Good at Killing People’
Obama told his staff that he’s “really good at killing people,” according to a new book set to hit shelves Tuesday. The book, titled “Double Down” and authored by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, reportedly says the Nobel Peace Prize winning president made the comments while discussing drone strikes with his aides. 

Book Alleges Obama Told Aides About Drone Strikes: I’m ‘Really Good At Killing People’
A new book covering the 2012 presidential campaign uncovers a series of scathing remarks from political figures, but one alleged comment has stirred controversy around President Barack Obama and his administration’s use of targeted drone strikes.

Drone strike in Pakistan kills head of Pakistan Taliban
A senior Taliban source has confirmed that a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan killed the head of the Pakistan Taliban Friday. Several intelligence, army and militant sources said Friday that Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud is dead, and a senior Taliban source confirmed his death to Reuters. The Taliban source also said Mehsud's funeral would be held Saturday.

Obama says al-Qaida now more active in Iraq
President Barack Obama pledged Friday to help combat an increasingly active al-Qaida in Iraq but stopped short of announcing new commitments of assistance sought by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Al-Maliki came to the Oval Office requesting additional aid, including weapons and help with intelligence, to fight insurgent violence that has spiked in Iraq since American troops left in 2011. 

If all this killing was "working", then how come they are "more active".  Perhaps the administration just needs a distraction from scandals and excuse to increase military involvement.  I thought this guy was given the Nobel "Peace" prize for what he was going to do?  Did they know that what he was going to do was kill thousands of innocent civilians as "collateral damage" from drone strikes?

Perhaps Obama should return the "Peace" prize?

While Obamcare stuns the U.S., ‘leading from behind’ unravels world peace
The U.S. is transfixed by the Obama administration’s massively bungled attempt to nationalize one sixth of the economy, the health welfare system. But the rest of the world watches the slow motion unfolding of another debacle: the loss of post-World War II American leadership of the worldwide alliance for peace and stability.  


Too bad Kerry made a slip of the tongue and said that Iran could "make a deal" to get them out of the hot seat.  Conveniently, the "deal" may go sour and the recent news cycles have included several stories about how Iran hates our guts and vows to kill us off, so that public opinion will be primed again for a strike against Iran...
