Presidential candidate, Rep. Ron Paul, R-Lake Jackson, harshly criticized President Obama today for ordering the U.S. drone strikes that took down a high-profile Al Qaeda leader in Yemen today.
According to the the Associated Press, U.S. and Yemeni officials confirmed that Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen, was killed in a CIA-led strike that teamed with U.S. Joint Special Operations Command. Time reports that the operation was carried out by the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden.
Paul condemned the president, telling reporters after a speech he gave in New Hampshire today that he thinks it’s sad Americans “blindly and casually” accept the president assassinating people whom he feels “are bad guys.”
“No I don’t think that’s a good way to deal with our problems,” Paul told reporters. “He was born here, al-Awlaki was born here, he is an American citizen.”
