Loyal Americans would think that this is a good thing.

The suspected al-Qaeda militant who planned the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in east Africa was killed in an American airstrike in Somalia, an official said Wednesday.

"I have received a report from the American side chronicling the targets and list of damage," Abdirizak Hassan, the Somali president's chief of staff, told The Associated Press. "One of the items they were claiming was that Fazul Abdullah Mohammed is dead." ...

Mohammed allegedly planned the attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 225 people.

He is also suspected of planning the car bombing of a beach resort in Kenya and the near simultaneous attempt to shoot down an Israeli airliner in 2002. Ten Kenyans and three Israelis were killed in the blast at the hotel, 12 miles north of Mombasa. The missiles missed the airliner.

Which may, of course, explain these responses from the unAmerican Left.

...do we just believe we can go anywhere in the world and kill people because they might be al-Qaida followers?

Hell yes – and we need to do it more often and better. After all, terrorists are hostis humani generis -- the enemies of all mankind. Kill them where ever and when ever we can find them.

And then, of course, from the moonbats over at Kos.

The notion that we have any idea of whatever structure something called "al Qaeda" may have, sufficient to be able to ID who's in charge of what, is laughable. The idea that some notional "our man in Modagishu", ever alert for these key al Qaeda operatives that our expertise has identified, and probably circulates packs of playing cards with their pictures, spotted our intended target and dogged his footsteps to the Kenyan border to call in this airstrike, is ludicrous. I doubt that even the con men in charge of the whole operation believe that they have any idea who or what may have been at ground zero of those smoking holes. The only thing one can be confident of from this report, is that there would be no report were there not a need for some positive news of progress in the GWOT on the eve of Our Leader's inspiring speech outlining the Glorious Way Forward. Onward, to ever more and larger smoking holes, in ever more countries! The brown people will get the message sooner or later.

I have been a keen observer of the US political scene my entire adult life, and I wouldn't have any idea who in the Republican political machine to send the AC-130s after, or any confidence that knocking off any or all of them would improve the world, despite an utter confidence that they have fucked up the world mightily.

Yep, that’s right – al-Qaeda is morally superior to the GOP, and there are so many of us that are appropriate targets that this asshat wouldn’t know which of us to kill first. And sadly, such comments are typical of the latter day left in this country – who interestingly enough, seem blissfully unconcerned about the fact that most of the victims of this jihadi scumbag were, to use the words of the KOSsack, “brown people”, and that the US served up justice on their behalf as well as that of our own country.

At what point does what passes for “liberalism” today become aid and comfort to the enemy?
