Obama making us safe without ‘war on terror’

I was surprised to see that the right-wing editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal recently praised President Obama for making the world a safer place. Far from palling around with terrorists, as Sarah Palin once claimed, Obama kills them.

From the WSJ editorial of Aug. 9 (see http://snipurl.com/pnjje): “President Obama has stepped up the pace of drone attacks, which are now thought to have killed more than a third of Taliban leaders. The strikes are also carried out with little or no harm to civilians. For cosmetic political reasons, the Obama Administration no longer wants to use the phrase ‘global war on terror.'

“Yet in Pakistan and Afghanistan, it is fighting a more vigorous war than did the previous administration. Whatever you want to call it, the death of Baitulluh Mehsud makes the world a safer place.”
