Merged Osama bin Laden dead,

I think the world should condemn this illegal assassination, in a foreign country not involved in the conflict, of this man. A clear breach of international law, such assassinations. What they should have done is arrested and charged him. Besides, it doesn't make America any safer, right? They're just murderers. Besides, look at the innocent victims killed with him!

Oh wait -- that's what the world went crazy about when the Mosaad assassinated a chief Hamas operative a year ago (or whenever Israel fights with Hamas and hits human shields, just like the woman the SEALs killed was). But of course the rules are different for Jews.

Way to utterly trash your credibility, man.

Did the Navy SEALs use forged passports? :rolleyes:

Forged passports of real people whose family, friends, and neighbors could have paid in retribution if things went bad?

Is that all they can conjure up - tired old men?

Besides, I thought Zawahiri wasn't really liked throughout AQ?

Ramzi bin al-Shibh was allegedly for a long time the man Bin Laden wanted to succeed him, but he's in GITMO these days.
 
As opposed to the killing of a woman who was there as a "human shield", as the Navy SEALS did? Isn't this "unjudicial execution" -- of Osama and of her? Using forged passports is worse? And lets imagine the SEALs did for some reason use forged passports -- or that he was killed by CIA agents using them. Would there be outrage?

I think we all know the answer. There would be none, and there shouldn't be. If there is any moral responsibility for the death of this woman, it lies with Osama for deliberately using her as a "human shield" in the first place. And if forged passports are used to get to him, well, that's a minor issue compared to the need to get him in the first place.

But when it comes to Israel... things are different.

50s is pretty common for higher level leaders. The actual lower level on the ground leaders will be 20s 30s.

French resistance leaders were largely in their 40s. Warsaw Uprising leaders were in their 50s. David Petraeus is in his late 50s.

Besides, I thought Zawahiri wasn't really liked throughout AQ?

It's unclear if there is much in the way of a centeral al-qaeda organisation left so its not clear if that question is meaningful at this point.
