Gosh Bill Clinton sure is lucky he didn't kill Osama Bin Laden.

[dkf]

He might have been prosecuted as a war criminal! Or extra legal murder...whatever.

:sarcasm:

1. Can you let me in on your joke?

It looks like an obtuse freeper joke. I don't get it.

[dkf]

3. People are accusing Obama of who knows what for killing Osama Bin Laden.

They would have been accusing Bill Clinton of the same thing if he had killed Bin Laden during the Lewinsky days.

Clinton would have saved us from 9/11 but would have gotten nothing but grief from many here.

[Quantess]

6. Oh, that.

Yes, there sure is a bunch of hand wringing about it. I've stopped paying attention to those threads.

I say, great job, Obama. No complaints from me.

2. Bill & Hill got Vince, but decided against Bin Laden because of what WSWS might say

EXTREME :sarcasm:

[mmonk]

4. Did he have an unarmed bin Laden in a room full of Navy SEALS?

I'm not sure people here are calling Obama a criminal for this. Some people prefer a capture and trial to summary execution. Why mock seeking legal justice?

[dkf]

5. He had less than that. Just a bomb!

Back then it might have been even more of a crime...a preemptive strike.

I wonder if they would have called for Clinton's impeachment.

7. Mock. Mock. Mock.

"Seeking legal justice" was simply not possible in this country at this time; and OBL needed to be taken out however possible.

[RaleighNCDUer]

8. And just what makes it not possible in this country at this time?

Are we Somalia?

If our justice system is that badly compromised it's time for another revolution.

I don't think it is. We arrest, prosecute, and judge thousands of people every day in this country. What makes arrest, prosecution, and judgement of someone like OBL impossible?

[dkf]

9. He is in another country probably being protected by that government.

How is it legal to even capture him? Capture or kill is probably both illegal.

[RaleighNCDUer]

10. His capture might be illegal under international law - unless by agreement with

Pakistan - but that has nothing to do with the trial in the US.

Your contention was that justice was not possible in THIS country.

Back that up.
