Think about this for a second and remember, the just war theory applies to all sides, not just to the USA.
Pakistan is complaining about this.
The theory lays out the rules for one side declaring war in a just manner… it does not require or expect that that all sides in a war conduct themselves justly. It is in fact impossible for both sides to be justified in a just war, since somebody has to be the “agressor”, in the language of the theory.
Really?! are you serious?!
Yes! Osama is feeling quite toasty now I imagine! God bless MY COMMANDER IN CHIEF, AND THE SEAL TEAM, that risked their lives to kill a truly evil individual.The nebulous “they” also said that OBL put a woman, or she put herself, between him and the SEALS. “They”, in this case a spokeksman for the State Department, said that he was asked to surrender and he refused. Guess it just depends on who you believe.
Go into a military compound that houses a fairly large number of armed soldiers, with a team of apx 6 men. And lets see how you do. Ever cleared a building? I have. Things happen really really fast. Tell me, what would you propose? Im listening. Id be very interested to know. Seriously.
Indeed. Most commonly referred to as the fog of war I think. It seems that the storyline of it being a strictly kill operation is being pushed back by the WH. Albeit in a very wink, wink, nudge, nudge sort of way. Brennan said that they would have captured him if it was possible. Although, my reaction would be that it would be highly unlikely. The myth of OBL could only be sustained if he was killed in battle. The true life facts of his life would have been devastating to the movement. That he used a woman to shield himself is more accurate about his character than the mythology that has grown up about him. It’s also a very very bad image for Muslims. So, even if it were not true that he used a woman, it’s a brilliant thing for the WH to say it.Go into a military compound that houses a fairly large number of armed soldiers, with a team of apx 6 men. And lets see how you do. Ever cleared a building? I have. Things happen really really fast. Tell me, what would you propose? Im listening. Id be very interested to know. Seriously.
but there is a commandment saying thou shall not kill…
One question I have for PaulinVA:Go into a military compound that houses a fairly large number of armed soldiers, with a team of apx 6 men. And lets see how you do. Ever cleared a building? I have. Things happen really really fast. Tell me, what would you propose? Im listening. Id be very interested to know. Seriously.
Which does not refer to war. In fact the law of moses give a very detailed list of the rules of war for the Jewish people. including how to treat Captive women. Very ahead of its time, when rape, and slavery were the norm for a captive people. Read the whole law of moses plz.
Could you name a few of the methods that could have been used to take Bin Laden alive? Thanks.
My prayers for your brother.One question I have for PaulinVA:
How do you take a guy with an AK-47 alive if he’s not willing?
My brother spent the better part of 2 years (20-22 years old) chasing this murderer in the mountains of Afghanistan. He has said more than once that these guys don’t generally give up even when given the option to surrender. You cannot play “nice guy” with these guys, they will kill you the second they get a chance without a thought.
What are they supposed to do say, “Oh…unmm…I’m sorry Mr. Bin Laden, we’re going to need your weapon. So…if you’d kindly pass it over here…” .
Perhaps you could get than in, between OBL changing clips on his AK?
Seriously:
What? Pepper spray? Taser? Tear gas? Give me a break.
How many more lives would you be comfortable sacrificing to capture him alive?
My brother came back with PTSD at the age of 22 , fighting and chasing these people in the mountains for two years. He lived in the mountains for nearly two full years. These guys don’t just lay their weapons down and give up. Most of the time if you capature them alive it was because you caught them asleep, literally.
God bless him and keep him and give him comfort. And Thank him for his service for me. Could you?Well, I know for a fact that singing give peace a chance doesnt work…
Pointing a 240 bravo at a possible VBID driver works wonders though.Really?! are you serious?!
Really? how many 10000nds of folks murdured by this man? Clarity is lacking?
I think she is just saying that we shouldn’t assume, though the case seems pretty solid from our earthly point of view.Really? how many 10000nds of folks murdured by this man? Clarity is lacking?
