Another Al-Qaida Thug Dead

I do have to hand it to the Obama administration- they are really going after the Taliban and Al-Qaida leaders and making a big difference in the war on terrorists.
From the Huff Post: In a significant new blow to al-Qaida, U.S. airstrikes in Yemen on Friday killed Anwar al-Awlaki, an American militant cleric who became a prominent figure in the terror network's most dangerous branch, using his fluent English and Internet savvy to draw recruits for attacks in the United States.
The strike was the biggest U.S. success in hitting al-Qaida's leadership since the May killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. But it raises questions that other strikes did not: Al-Awlaki was an American citizen who has not been charged with any crime. Civil liberties groups have questioned the government's authority to kill an American without trial.
The 40-year-old al-Awlaki was for years an influential mouthpiece for al-Qaida's ideology of holy war, and his English-language sermons urging attacks on the United States were widely circulated among militants in the West.
But U.S. officials say he moved into a direct operational role in organizing such attacks as he hid alongside al-Qaida militants in the rugged mountains of Yemen. Most notably, they believe he was involved in recruiting and preparing a young Nigerian who on Christmas Day 2009 tried to blow up a U.S. airliner heading to Detroit, failing only because he botched the detonation of explosives sewn into his underpants.

He was killed in a Drone/air strike in Yemen.
Just curious, did we ever declare war on Yemen? I'm glad we got him, but this another country we are bombing, joining Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya and now Yemen.
But hey, we are the U.S., we can do whatever we want, right?
Anyways, good job to the military and the intelligence community for getting this thug.
