LOL!
Except nowhere is the authority given to government to declare war on an ideology.
[no matter how repulsive a civilized people consider that ideology to be]
Only an idiot would LOL about something like that.
I bet you giggle a lot too, don't you?
I agree with your analysis. The real prize here is not Bin Laden’s head, but the intelligence found in the compound. The CIA would not have recommended a strike which would have destroyed this type of intelligence.
One problem is the justice system is screwed up enough that a trial would take a decade and cost about $1B.
A fair, efficient trial would amount to:
“Is the defendant Osama bin Laden? Is he responsible for the infamous terrorist attack on 9/11/01? Is there any proof the answer to any preceding questions ‘no’ or reasonable doubt? Is there any misconduct in the preceding court actions? Bailiff: your sidearm, please...”
That being impossible, as arrest would become a billion-dollar decade-long circus, the SEALs worked perfectly.
I have to wonder why the “illegal!”-shouting crowd feels compelled to do so. Why does the sequence of events as occurred bother them so much? or are they too among the chronically offended?
Is he/she/it an idiot, maybe possible???
It's a simple question. Why are there no answers?...,LOL
I see an act of war being dealt with as an act of war.
Go ahead and giggle now, Sally.
