Citizen or not, matters not. It's really all about self defense. These people want to kill us. We have to beat them to the draw. There are too many good people in this world to worry about the bad apples. Be gone with them any way you can.

Traitors are shot or hung.

Born or not born in the US is not matter.If you're against the laws of the US ,you're considered the enemy of the States.If you're caught,you have the right to have a legal process,if you're killed,you're done.

You mess with US you mess with all of US, drone, A-10 Warthog....etc, etc.

That question shouldn't have to be asked. was it justified for terrorists to kill American citizens in the twin towers. We should use whatever means we have to stop war on America.

Discuss the innocent child murdered by the terrorists.

Spend your time dicussing the innocent good, decent honest muslims, and christians, and people of any different faith, who live in fear of their lives, because of the evil they sow.

God bless our troops.

If a US citizen gives aid and comfort to the enemy of our country he is a traitor and traitors should be shot on sight. Also he had killed many innocient individuals.

free a terrorist or other criminal from rapid termination as performed by any of our defense systems. In other words, just because an individual is so fortunate as to be born in the USA; whether from both parents being US Citizens or immigrants should not be of consequence. Turn on the USA and the USA has the right to eliminate any threat! I do not feel that individual should be guaranteed the same legal rights as any other law abiding Citizen. A traitor is a traitor,generally they were hung or shot, in a hurry! My condolences to his parents, as long as they did not support him or his actions.

Drones, bunker buster bombs, alpha strikes, special ops teams, even spitballs at close range...as long as the vermin are disposed of!

Those that disagree, send those vermin your home address with an invite to dinner and see what they have in mind for dessert !

In my opinion when Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan gave both aid and comfort to the enemies they became traitors and surrendered any right they may have once had to due process and the American Justice System.

He was riding with some bomb makers, who had NO PROBLEM strapping one of these onto a young boy or woman and killing our troops.
Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan were just GREAT COLLATERAL KILLS. NO HARD FEELS, it's just BUSINESS

He should have had his citizenship revoked for his actions. He was not born in this country. None of this would have never been brought up.

Why are people trying to dismantle our version of the English language that IS FOR AMERICA, not the world. TREASON, this is what Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan PROUDLY did by voice, action and in print. STOP spreading ignorance and use AMERICAN ENGLISH in AMERICA without trying to create clouds of mystery.
FOR GOD AND COUNTRY,

If you voted yes please read this.

The Constitution was written to protect US citizens. (Are you a Citizen?) If the document is not that important to you than what were you fighting for.

Suppose that in The Revolutionary War King George could have used drones on us. Were we not traitors in his eyes? He of course would have condoned them using your same logic.

Now, however, we have a Constitution and it is suppose to protect our rights. I am not ready to give any of those rights up, to get scum bag US citizens. There is a process when it comes to citizens, which is already in place and we should use it. Not to protect those traitors, but to protect ourselves from potential leaders which might want to abuse us in the future.

If for some strange reason you end up on some terrorist list, perhaps in error, you might not relish the thought of getting droned.

When a person born in the USA turns against this country and organizes terrorist activities, he or she gives up any and all rights to be a citizen as far as I am concerned and should be dealt with as with any terrorist.

Only a pure progressive socialist liberal would even take the time to ask a question like this. For those of us who have worn the uniform and taken up arms to protect this country, this question is an affront to our sacrifice. The moment a "citizen" declares him/her self an enemy of America, his citizenship should be revoked instantly, and that person is placed on the hit list. We don't need to ask the question as to why a person would do this, it is immaterial. We are at war, period, I know America is at the Mall, but this country is truly at war and I am afraid it is going to take another 9/11 before people wake up to that fact.

That's the bottom line. Both of these characters have committed treason through actions and words. The punishment for treason is death. Not to mention the terrorist bit. I say kill them where they can be found and as quick as they can be found. Don't question it either, brag about it afterwards. Let it be a lesson to anyone else contemplating such actions. To put it in the words of the terrorists themselves. "Death to the infidels".

Was this just another war casualty? No, this individual was intentionally targeted. Am I sorry the a-hole is dead? No. Do I think he could be considered a traitor? Oh, yes, definitely! Was he properly charged, tried by a jury of his peers, and sentenced to death? Nope! The powers-that-be in Washington acted as accuser, judge, jury, and executioner.

The powers-that-be in Washington have also more than inferred that the REAL threat is home grown terrorists, like returning veterans, TEA Party supporters, gun owners, etc. So what is to say that the powers in control who engineered the execution of this guy won't condemn YOU and send a drone to YOUR house?

It is really scary to see that 94% of the respondents to this poll have opted for immediate gratification without a thorough consideration of the issues and consequences.

Do it legally. Next time, get a warrant for arrest. Maybe we'll get lucky and the next terrorist will try to resist. At least it would be moral and legal.

Almost voted for the Battlefield option then thought about it. The Battlefield is whereever you find the enemy. And killing them is an act of war.

Adding "US Citizen" to the equation changes NOTHING! They forfeit any protections that title infers by waging war on their fellow citizens.There is not one enemy life worth our service personal getting so much as a hangnail. Bring on the drones. Ironic Obama is doing what he condemed Bush for.

Um...what planet did you say you were from? Legality, Justice?? Our whole sytem is about the practice of law, NOT justice. Warrants? We are a nation at WAR. Last time I checked that has not been withdrawn. These are the same folks who brought us 911, and merrily chopped off the heads of our people, and you want a warrant? Who would issue it. Judge Judy(She might, she appears to have more balls than you do)I have spent 40 years working to support our laws, but these creatures only deserve extermination like the vermin thay are!!

Choices are too limited....a citizen loses citizenship when they order attacks on the US from a foreign land , thus the CINC can lawfully order kill or capture. By evading arrest the enemy combatant was an outlaw and not a US citizen.

Yes. Good job. We've killed more lately than any other time, proud that we are getting it done.

"I tremble for my nation, when I consider that God is Just" Thomas Jefferson No thinking citizen can condone use of these abomanations masquerading as legitimate, lawful means of dealing with American citizens, regardless of what I or the so-called government may accuse the individual with thinking, saying or alledgedly doing. Ron Paul is correct here, as well as charging that our nation has been a toy of the global banker parasites for many administrations. Due process, the security of my PERSONAL property, life, papers and liberty must mean less than nothing to the braindead-mouthbreathers who support blindly the clear d estruction of sacred principals set forth plainly, clearly and emphatically in the Constitution of these United States - a document that clearly all of us are charged in defending, protecting and honoring. Shame indeed upon any man so ignorant to violate the precept of an oath so given. s wm carson 101st ABN DVN '63-'65

You need to educate yourself. We did NOT target an American. Actually, they didn't even know he was there. We do NOT have smart bombs that can seek out and hit one person in a crowd with a bomb. He declared war on the United States some time ago. Treason is punished by a death penalty. Being an American ordering terrorist hits on the US makes everything null and void. He gave up his citizenship when he declared war on us. I don't understand any of you that overlooks the basic fact he was a terrorist! It is war! There has NEVER been a war where innocent victims don't die and that is horrible. This man was not innocent, refused to come to the US and his parents still live in the US. He sure doesn't seem to give a rip about his own flesh and blood.

"Our whole sytem (sic) is about the practice of law, NOT justice."

Exactly! So why do we have an administration meting out justice with no consideration for law?

"Warrants?"

Yes! Remember? We ARE a nation of law. Ever consider the fourth amendment?

"We are a nation at WAR. Last time I checked that has not been withdrawn."

Again, we are a nation of law. According to law, we haven't been at war since 31 December 1946. Check Article I, Section 8, Clause 11. Then check your history.

Worried you can't find a judge to issue a warrant? That is a valid concern. We have a judiciary who will protect a-holes like this but charge your disabled grandmother for resisting a strip search at the airport. But this, too, is a legal problem.

Hello

Who says he was a terrorist?
Are you willing to take the media's version of this as judgement?

How long will it be before you are the target?
Who will defend you against criminal suppression then?

Who says that terrorists attacked us on 11 September?
What absolute proof do you have that anyone can put before a judge? Nothing has ever been found.

How easy would it be when the media lables YOU as a terrorist and the public wants rid of YOU?

One thing which has alway's bothered me about this Great nation when at war; Political "Acrobatic's" vs Military Expedience. They (Congress) give us the tool's too wage war, yet; at least since WWII, "some" have tied our hand's instead of letting our miitary Might be shown.? This most recent of event's in Yeomen; Albeit an American citizen, SHOULD be applauded.. I remember quite clearly the "oath of service" I,, had taken in 88" for in-prosessing and then the second after arrival for basic training. Subsequently ,twice more for re-enlistment's. There was a certain "Para" which i had recited at least 4 Times! ( I Solemly Swear too DEFEND the Constitution of the United States, Against "ENEMIES", foreign and ""DOMESTIC""!.. iT DOES NOT MATTER IF U WERE BORN HERE. If you show Deadly intension's against her "people" or "military"; by siding w/an Established ENEMY. Then the use of deadly force can be authorized.

In this case Yes. It is my understanding that he had renounced his american citizenship.

"Mr. Bailey" is right on. When US Citizens choose to aid the enemy, they no longer are entitled to US rights and are you saying that if the enemy over runs a church, store or hospital, and sets up shop, we are not allowed to strike the church, store or hospital? Get real!!!

Anyone who denounces the United States of America to the extent of planning terorist attacks against it, forfeits their right to citisonship protection and ultimately becomes a target for America's guns.

The subject of the drone attack publicly proclaimed his alliance with this nation’s enemies, publicly proclaimed his collusion in deadly terrorist attacks against this country and publicly proclaimed he was at war with this nation. This nation did exactly what it should do with any enemy at war with this nation, self-proclaimed or otherwise, we killed him. I applaud the administration’s decision to eliminate a national threat regardless of the threat’s location or prior home of record and firmly hope this action stands as a warning for all others that think they can act with impunity against this nation and believe their nationality will provide them shelter from the same fate as others who wage war against this country.

He got what was coming to him and no one is to blame for this action other than the target of the drone.

No matter who you attack,or assist an enemy; a normal person would understand; "Icould die". It's called war, terrorism, police action, whatever! And if you decided to assist an enemy of your own country, against your country; I do belive that is refered to as being a "Traitor". And is a death sentence. the drone saved ue thousands of dolars in court costs. I did several tours in Nam and 5 missions in iraq; those against us, had no honor, compassion; only destroy Americans. I'd of shot the person. you may not always understand or like policies of your country, but it's your country. Speak out, your right. To assist an enemy of your country, is TREASON!

Look him up on U-Tube & listen to his spew in his own words.

I don't get what all of the hoop-la is about....Anwar al-Awlaki did not give aid and comfort to the enemy....He WAS one of their top leaders,,,,Give e a break, American Justice System for an enemy ? Who in his right mind is going to serve the warrant arrest him, cuff him, mirandize him? Just because he was an American Citizen at one time? He gave up the rights of an american citizen many years ago.....

I think we as veterans, some American Legion, some VFW,etc. need to stop dabbling in politics. We had our chance, and now that is over. We must believe in our Joint Chiefs, and our POTUS, and support the decisons they make. I for one do not agree with the POTUS, and shall reflect that decision in the next election. As far as drones being used, they are expensive, impersonal, and devastating. If our leaders said they needed to take him out, that should be the end of it. Quit dissecting, get on board and be a team member. If you don't like it, vote. Let's get back to taking care of the Veterans that our Gov't is not. If this was just a press stimulus to get rants, so be it. I will go elsewhere

It is really simple here. This jack-ass committed Treason against the United States, and the punishment for Treason in time of war is death. Sentence carried out by CIA / Spec Ops folks. No trail needed, no bleeding heart socialists to cry about him being repressed. That is the law, plain and simple, commit Treason and die!!!

If they look like a terrorists, Act like terrorists,Talk like a terrorists, Smell like terrorists, Guess what they are terrorists.
And if they are filthy,stinking terrorists they need to be taken out. I do not care where they come from I only care where they are going and that is to hell because we are going to send them there by any means we can. Remember the 343.

Two names come to my mind. John Kerry and Jane Fonda. To bad we did not have drones in the 60's. Put Bill Ayers on that list too.

Absolutely, they were confirmes and verified enemy combatants and in any war a soldier must kill or the enemy will kill you. These people are religious finatics and their religion orders them to kill all non believers. This has been going on for thousands of years remember the Crusades. Unless you are a muslim they want to see "YOU" dead. Get over the bleeding liberal crap, these people have to be killed or they will kill all Infidels. Get it that means YOU!!!!

It was a very good thing to kill the maggots with drone attacks or any other means. While they are at it they should target the A.C.L.U headquarters with some drones. They are some of America's biggest emenies !

This should answer the question: "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America aganist all enemies, foreign and domestic; They got their PROCESS and received their DUES which I consisted Due Process. Read the Oath.

At this point Anwar Awlaki's citizenship is irrelevant. We are not talking about some guy who states he is at war and then just sits on a U.S. street or a street in the UK and talk about what he believes. If that was the case then this would be murder. However we are talking about a man actively committing act of war against the U.S. and the civilized world. He was on the field of battle (or the closes thing to it in this type of war) and was acting on a daily or minute by minute basis to destroy the civilized world. Therefore he was open game to be taken out.

It was a shame we could not capture him, bring him back, put him on trial, them have him shot for treason, but we can't have every thing in life.

yes, absolutely thats all that needs to be said.
