How Many Terrorist Leaders Has President Obama Killed?


By Andre Michael Eggelletion



With the killing of Muammar Qaddafi in Libya today, can the GOP continue to say that President Obama is soft on terrorism? I fear that they probably will, and never give this president any credit for anything. Nonetheless, here is a list of some of the terrorist leaders that have threatened America’s security who have been dispatched during President Obama’s first term of office.

1. Muammar Qaddafi in Libya today

2. Osama bin Laden, killed in May 2011.

3. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) leader Anwar al-Awlaki.

4. Al Qaeda’s chief of Pakistan operations, Abu Hafs al-Shahri, was killed in Waziristan, Pakistan.

5. In August, ‘Atiyah ‘Abd al-Rahman, the deputy leader of al Qaeda was killed.

6. In June, one of al Qaeda’s most dangerous commanders, Ilyas Kashmiri, was killed in Pakistan.

7. In Yemen that same month, three AQAP senior operatives Ammar al-Wa’ili, Abu Ali al-Harithi, and Ali Saleh Farhan were killed.

8. In Somalia, Al-Qa’ida in East Africa (AQEA) senior leader Harun Fazul was killed.

9. Administration officials also herald the recent U.S./Pakistani joint arrest of Younis al-Mauritani in Quetta.

10. Going back to August 2009, Tehrik e-Taliban Pakistan leader Baitullah Mahsud was killed in Pakistan.

11. In September 2009, Jemayah Islamiya operational planner Noordin Muhammad Top was killed in Indonesia

12. In September 2009 AQEA planner Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan was killed in Somalia.

13. In December 2009 in Pakistan, al Qaeda operational commanders Saleh al-Somali and ‘Abdallah Sa’id were killed.

14. In February 2010, in Pakistan, Taliban deputy and military commander Abdul Ghani Beradar was captured;

15. In February 2010, Haqqani network commander Muhammad Haqqani was killed

16. In February 2010, Lashkar-e Jhangvi leader Qari Zafar was killed.

17. In March 2010, al Qaeda operative Hussein al-Yemeni was killed in Pakistan

18. In March 2010, senior Jemayah Islamiya operative Dulmatin - accused of being the mastermind behind the 2002 Bali bombings – was killed during a raid in Indonesia.

19. In April 2010, al Qaeda in Iraq leaders Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi were killed.

20. In May, al Qaeda’s number three commander, Sheik Saeed al-Masri was killed.

21. In June 2010 in Pakistan, al Qaeda commander Hamza al-Jawfi was killed.


The GOP can continue to try to fool the American people about President Obama’s ability to advance America’s national security interests all they want. Nonetheless, the truth speaks louder than their lies.



 

I'm just venturing a guess here, but I don't think Obama can take credit for these "killings". I don't think him or any president has the power to actually orchestrate this on their own?? President Obama was "put" into power, and if this country is ever at the hands of ONE man to make our decisions, well, I would probably head for a cave. Hitler had pretty much total power over a people, I think Castro, and probably others. There's nothing wrong with the GOP except that they disagree with the democrats. That's what I am seeing. Of course maybe I'm wrong? Maybe all the Repuplicans are trash and should be deported, or something? Make me understand? Because I don't like Obama, I don't trust him, he hasn't earned my trust, he never did. Not that anyone else has, it was the lesser of two evils on the last vote for president, for me anyway.
 
You said that very nicely without anger or insulting anyone who might disagree with you. I admire your ability to do that. I also agree with what you said.
 

I'd sure like to hear about this reason many don't dare admit to as to why they fail to give the President respect or credit? Is there some secret society here where the rest of us don't get to know? I mean if it's viable, I'm open to hearing it?? Denise
 
I think most of them were killed by SEALs, like Chris Kyle, in bin Laden case, I think it was Pinada that gave the go order, Obama is pictured at the end of the table wringing his hands. Most of the others were killed by drones, targeted as such with spy satellites targeted by the NSA, payed for by NASA space funding. It will be interesting to see what happens in the new 3 year program however. It's like the war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war pick one. People need a boogeyman.
And yes there are secret societies, probably not here though, most folks here are pretty laid back.

I think most of the people here, including myself, are not smart enough to be part of a secret society, just a lot of hot air floating about. You are right, Obama, or whoever is pres. is sitting somewhere hoping he got the right info/direction. I'll give credit where credits due, as I see it, not somebody telling me it's true and believing it.

He really doesn't call the shots, in some cases he ok's some actions that are out of normal protocals. As far as putting down the dynamics , wow. It is not possible for one person to take in all the Intel and make the decision, let alone doing the ground work for the event.

Even I get this, I don't get the hero worship. I've had presidents I liked and respected but I was never falling at their feet thinking they were some sort of God?? What the hell??
 
If Obama calls the shots, then he directed Holder to sell guns to the Mexican cartels. He directed IRS to not allow tax exempt status to any organization against his political agenda. He ignored the V A . Was really to blame for Bengazi, Could go,on. No president is or has been the be everywhere, do everything guy your trying to make him out. As any one in the military or has done contract work knows the Pres. Does NOT sit on every ok. Off shore stuff is politically sensitive so he becomes more involved, to correlate with the state department. One of the reasons the 3 year plan is being brought up, so operations can have more continuity without his more ok's. End of debate.
Doesn't posture ? Wow! head in sand or more accurately rectalcranialmetamorphism.
I wouldn't want Obama to , or any Pres. To be the superman (or think they were ala Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon) we would be living in a totalitarian/dictatorship.
I am more impressed with Obama getting rid of Holder, the IRS director, fixing the VA, and his ability to keep government dealings with organized crime quiet than any military stuff.

I just consider the sources.... if people insist on plugging into FOX and buying all the other Conservative BS, I'm not really concerned with what they think. That alone speaks volumes.

But here's one thing I'm pretty sure of... If Romney had been elected and accomplished a fraction of what President Obama has.. they would be out carving his likeness on Mount Rushmore.
 
I'm for giving him all the credit due, even looking the other way. As you want to give him the Buck stops Here bs. do that and not just pick and choose what you want to hear. Since he knew what Holder was up to, selling guns to organized crime in Mexico resulting in the death of a border patrolman he should take the credit for that. An impeachable offense. Take the credit for Bengazi, which he sort of half as every thing else. An impeachable offense. Since he was in control of the IRS he ordered the discrimination against anyone agaist his political agenda. Since he was in control he used executive orders to go around congress. An impeachable offense. (Gotta give the guy credit though he did all that and didn't even need an intern like another pres.) sounds like a man that is in control or gets pissed when he isn't. Sounds more like the mythical astrological Leo. Growls then licks his paw to comb down his mane, always has a plan (half baked).
Don't blame him though, being Pres. Would be a really hard job, only an egotist psychopath would want that kind of misery. Not saying he is the only psychopath pres. That has been in office, we all can learn about how to succeed from psychopaths. There is even a book on it.

LOL...totally true, QS....they continually spew the BS without any proof.
 
Hero worship usually evolves along the lines you have outlined, denial. Not a presidents fanboy here, either side, haven' t said anything about racism. You have that confused as usual. Bush family definitely a work of art, if you only knew about some of their other stuff. If your interested in the psychological/anthro stuff on hero worship, you an do some catch up by reading Joseph Campbell's works, "Hero with a thousand faces" and "Mask of the Gods"
as far as racism goes, if Texas oil gives the ok, Ben Carson will be the next blue GOP president. Couple that with some of the unrest in the country and discontent with liberals and the many seats will go right also. Not a good thing. Who knows Chicago may have to secede lol.
putting Barry up in rock is a great idea, but the only thing left in SoDak would be next to Crazy Horse, and don't think the Indians would go for it. He would look good next to the Statue of Liberty however, if you can get Michelle in on it.
 
The total numbers of people killed by terriost attacks is pretty small compared to even something like deaths from eating refined sugar, yet the amount of press it gets is way out of proportion. Hopefully people will wake up in time to see Barry's war power acts is nothing more than another power ruse.

As I said, those terrorist killings happened under President Obama during his first term, nobody said that he went out and shot the terrorists, or orchestrated their assasinations completely on his own. All republicans are trash, and they should be deported? Really?

I've been listening to a lot of conservative talk radio since he's been elected. I have heard many republicans who have said that Obama supports terrorism, that he wants to help the terrorists take over America, all the way up to suggesting that he himself is a muslim terrorist in disguise.

When I came across this listing of all the terrorists who were killed under his watch, I felt like posting some facts on the matter. I'm surprised it ruffled so many feathers here.

I don't worship him or think of him as a god, that bull$hit was started by the republicans after he was elected by the people. I'm sure everyone saw the cartoon of him walking on water, I don't think democrats or independents posted that trash everywhere.

Problem is, many people like yourself take this information as fact, it's nothing but sour grapes talk from the losing party. There are things about Obama that I don't like, but I'm not going to discredit all of his accomplishments like many others have since he became President of the United States.

AZ Jim, If you don't vote for Ben Carson, Allen West, and/or any other black republican then you are a racist.
Click to expand...

AZ can correct me if I'm wrong, but many of us don't vote for color. Following are some of the ideals and statements made by Carson, which would make me never vote for him. Same situation with West.



1. “There comes a time when people with values simply have to stand up. Think about Nazi Germany. Most of those people did not believe in what Hitler was doing. But did they speak up? Did they stand up for what they believe in? They did not, and you saw what happened.”
~Ben Carson, comparing Democrats to Nazis, January 2014.

2. “I mean, [America is] very much like Nazi Germany. And I know you’re not supposed to say ‘Nazi Germany,’ but I don’t care about political correctness. You know, you had a government using its tools to intimidate the population. We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe.”
~Ben Carson, telling Breitbart News how America is like Nazi Germany because of liberals, March 2014.

3. “ObamaCare is the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. In a way, it is slavery, because it is making all of us subservient to the government.”
~Ben Carson, comparing healthcare to slavery during the Values Voter Summit, October 2013.

4. “Because 9/11 is an isolated incident. Things that are isolated issues as opposed to things that fundamentally change the United Sates of America and shift power from the people to the government. That is a huge shift. You have to take a long-term look at something that fundamentally changes the power structure of America.”
~Ben Carson, claiming ObamaCare is worse than the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed 3,000 Americans, June 2014.

5. “I think what’s happening with the veterans is a gift from God to show us what happens when you take layers and layers of bureaucracy and place them between the patients and the health care provider. And if we can’t get it right, with the relatively small number of veterans, how in the world are you going to do it with the entire population?”​
~Ben Carson, thanking God for dead soldiers in an attack on ObamaCare amid the Veteran’s Affairs military healthcare scandal in which veterans died waiting for medical care, Memorial Day Weekend 2014.

6. “My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society, and no group — be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality — it doesn’t matter what they are — they don’t get to change the definition.”
~Ben Carson, comparing same-sex marriage to bestiality and pedophilia, April 2013.

7. “Certainly there’s the potential because you have to recognize that we have a rapidly increasing national debt, a very unstable financial foundation, and you have all these things going on like the ISIS crisis that could very rapidly change things that are going on in our nation. And unless we begin to deal with these things in a comprehensive way and in a logical way there is no telling what could happen in just a couple of years.”
~Ben Carson, telling Fox News that President Obama might declare martial law and cancel the 2016 Election so he can continue being president, September 2014.

8. “I think most people when they finish that course, they’d be ready to go sign up for ISIS.”
~Ben Carson, claiming the AP History curriculum will cause students who learn about civil disobedience in this country to join a violent terrorist group, September 2014.

9. “Anyone caught involved in voter fraud should be immediately deported and have his citizenship revoked.”
~Ben Carson, advocating for stripping non-citizens of their no-existant American citizenship if they are caught voting, November 2014. NOTE: quote was later removed from Carson’s WND column.

10. “So if there were a container of contaminated urine, and somehow it managed to find its way to someplace a lot of damage could be done. Someone comes up to a lab worker. He knows he’s got the urine. ‘How would you like to have a million dollars?’ … Such things have been known to happen.”
~Ben Carson, fearmongering over Ebola by saying it could be used a biological weapon even though infectious disease experts disagree, August 2014.

If I needed brain surgery, Dr. Ben Carson is the guy I would want performing the operation because his experience in the field of neurosurgery is nearly unmatched. But I would not want him as President of the United States. The fact is, he has zero experience in government. At least President Obama had prior governing experience prior to winning his first term in office. He served as a state senator in Illinois for seven years and as a United States senator for three years, yet conservatives constantly gripe that Obama didn't have enough experience to be president. By supporting Carson’s candidacy, conservatives would be committing hypocrisy.

Carson has no idea what it means to govern, and his consistent extremist rhetoric should disqualify him from ever being considered for a job as demanding and stressful as Commander-in-Chief.

You can’t bring up the Nazi card to describe political opponents, compare gay people to pedophiles, thank God for dead soldiers, and fearmonger about a virus in an effort to cause panic in the nation and think that makes you perfectly qualified to lead and unite the whole population of the United States.

Of course... as Commander and Chief.. HE gave the orders.. He authorized the special OPs.. Did he physically do the killing ... of course not.. I don't think anyone would expect the President to physically pick up a weapon and join a SEAL unit.. BUT.. as the Commander of the Military... and I presume anyone who has BEEN in the military knows... You don't blow your nose without orders or permission.. SO... I agree.. end of debate..

I agree. I amazes me how many people cannot accept any of President Obama's accomplishments during his Presidency. They must have very poor memories to recollect how things were under Bush. Many are still in denial that he was elected by the people of America twice, and refuse to give credit where credit is due. They've made it no secret that they wanted to make him a one-term President, and refuse to work with him on anything during his term in office.
 
The point is to keep it in perspective. If it had the capability of being done alone it would have happened. Nixon passed more environment friendly stuff than any of the other guys. These examples could go on on both sides, good and bad--- politics is a very complex environment. Grunt military indoctrination starts with the Pres. Being the man, that way the don't blame the next guy up in the chain. (Or frag him). Reminds me of a George a Clooney movie three kings, were he's telling the Iragie, "George Bush wants you." Anyone who has done contract work will tell you what's going on.
oh almost forgot psychopaths make the best surgeons, just as a::holes make the best lawyers.
 
Oh almost forgot, such radical talk (Carson) coming out of someone from John Hopkins a very liberal institution something very fishy.
whats a matter Jim, nap time?

If you didn't vote for Jan Brewer for governor you are sexist.

If you didn't support Joe Arpiao the you are anti law enforcement.

If you think I don't like Obama because of his race then the above must be true about you.

There's always losers, there has to be when there's a winner. I see so many poor losers when it comes to these elections. I am sad, and sometimes a bit worried, but I don't start slingin things around like the names you mentioned RK. Like I said last night, I feel things happen for a reason and I am, on the whole, pretty accepting. I didn't join in with the Obama bashers (ok, I laughed once or twice at the stupid jokes like Obama-nation) but no, he was our president, period.

To be honest, that comment about "people being afraid to say they were racist" or didn't like him because he was black, truly surprised me, like the thought did NOT cross my mind. I laid there in bed thinking wow, I am so glad I'm not a racist. It's always hard to be accused of something you're not, but I know it happens to everyone, we just have to move on knowing that it's not true.
 
The problem comes when people want to say anything and everything, be offensive in doing so, more often than not, and don't offer anything to back the things they spout then get angry and call foul because they're called out on their nonsense.

There came a point I too thought about leaving this place, because, it seemed there were a lot of racist one sided views constantly flowing in certain threads and I for one had no desire to be where I wasn't wanted. Slowly I came to see not all the people were so closed minded and I found a way to still feel accepted as a person and not just a black person here with some.
 
He deserves a tub full of credit in this regard. I get thrills down my leg just thinking about it!! I can just picture President Obama, M4 carbine with an EOS sight, K-bar knife clenched in his teeth and grenades hanging off his bullet proof vest. Going in with night vision to do those bad dudes in!! Right behind him, securing his six is Brian Williams.

A terrorist killing duo if I ever seen one!!
