A U.S.-born cleric who has encouraged Muslims to kill American soldiers called for the killing of U.S. civilians in his first video released by a Yemeni offshoot of al-Qaida, providing the most overt link yet between the radical preacher and the terror group.
Dressed in a white Yemeni robe, turban and with a traditional jambiyah dagger tucked into his waistband, Anwar Al-Awlaki used the 45-minute video posted Sunday to justify civilian deaths – and encourage them – by accusing the United States of intentionally killing a million Muslim civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

The Obama Administration spent months debating whether the Constitution allowed the U.S. to whack American turned traitor Anwar al-Awlaki, a purported cleric twice busted for soliciting prostitutes. The status of Anwar al-Awlaki as a U.S. Citizen should not have delayed U.S. Government terminating this traitor. Had U.S. police discovered Awlaki in our homeland helping terrorists kill Americans, police wouldn’t hesitate to stop his murderous activity. No doubt many Americans will celebrate, even party after CIA cleaners get done with this terrorist.
