LOL!. You’re projecting your own fears and ‘wimpishness’. I wonder how bin Laden felt about Obama when SEALS shot him in the face?
A real wimp might have ordered a bombing or cruise missile strike, with no possibility of 'proof of death’.
Instead Obama chose the more risky course. If it hadn’t worked, if we’d lost men, it’s Carter in the Iranian desert redux.
And Republican calls for impeachment.
I get that people like you don’t feel ‘safe’ unless 200K Americans are stomping around in the deserts of Arabia getting blown up by IED’s and we’re blowing another trillion or so dollars. But maybe the rest of us have learned some lessons?
I wonder how 'well liked' we are by the people successfully targeted by Obama over the last 7 years and by what is underway?
Reads to me as though Obama is all out of f*cks to give RE ISIL leaders and……………………………Republicans!

Al-Qaeda leader in Yemen Jalal Baleedi 'killed in drone strike'
Jalal Baleedi and his aides were reportedly travelling in a car targeted by a missile
The leader of an al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist group controlling swathes of war-torn Yemen has reportedly been killed in a US drone strike.
Jalal Baleedi was among 12 Islamist militants killed overnight in the south of the country, where the government backed by Saudi-led forces, Houthi rebels, Isis and al-Qaeda are battling for control.
One strike killed six men in a car travelling in Ar Rawdah, Shabwa province, a remote desert area where Islamist militants are believed to be operating. The province has been targeted by several drone strikes this year.
U.S. launches secret drone campaign to hunt Islamic State leaders in Syria
CONFRONTING THE ‘CALIPHATE’ | Part of an occasional series

The CIA and U.S. Special Operations forces have launched a secret campaign to hunt terrorism suspects in Syria as part of a targeted killing program that is run separately from the broader U.S. military offensive against the Islamic State, U.S. officials said.
The CIA and the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) are flying drones over Syria in a collaboration responsible for several recent strikes against senior Islamic State operatives, the officials said.
Among those killed was a British militant thought to be an architect of the terrorist group’s effort to use social media to incite attacks in the United States, the officials said.
The clandestine program represents a significant escalation of the CIA’s involvement in the war in Syria, enlisting the agency’s Counterterrorism Center (CTC) against a militant group that many officials believe has eclipsed al-Qaeda as a threat.
Although the CTC has been given an expanded role in identifying and locating senior Islamic State figures, U.S. officials said the strikes are being carried out exclusively by JSOC. The officials said the program is aimed at terrorism suspects deemed “high-value targets.”
“These people are being identified and targeted through a separate effort,” said a senior U.S. official familiar with the operation, referring to the British militant, Junaid Hussain, and others killed in a recent weeks. Spokesmen for the CIA and the U.S. Special Operations Command, which oversees JSOC, declined to comment. Other officials would discuss the program only on the condition of anonymity.
