Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein said in an interview published Sunday that she would not have ordered the assassination of Osama bin Laden.
Marking the 15th anniversary of September 11 terror attacks, Stein instead told the Des Moines Register that she would have tried to bring the terror leader to trial in accordance with international law.

I am kind of with her on this. He could have been taken alive; he was unarmed. Wonder why he wasn’t?
Buh bye, Jill.
Probably not since she isn’t a Navy SEAL.
You don’t assassinate , you Kill
Sounds like 2004 John Kerry — ‘terrorism is a law enforcement issue.’
Really?
What if he was captured alive?
What then?
He ordered the death of 3,000 on 911 and you say SO WHAT?
What an ignorant icehole.

How did the SEAL who shot him know that he was unarmed? They knocked down the door and shot him within a second or two. It was killed or be killed. Combat works that way.
He had a lot of knowledge about American wealthy elites, politicians, top office holders, bureaucracies, policies and strategies that many people would not want made public.
That is my point. He was unarmed and watching porn. Why did they shoot him when they could have taken him alive?
Bin Laden probably had little operational control over Al Qaeda for several years prior, due to his hiding, so intelligence gain might be limited. More important, you do not want a martyr, a point of focus for his followers, or him making any public statements. If he is alive, a$$holes like Stein would demand his release.
Once SEAL team 6 was clear of the place, I would have dropped 3 x 1000 lb bombs in succession on the compound to absolutely reduce it to rubble, just to leave a gaping hole, and send a message to Pakistan and those protecting Bin Laden.
Oh, and whoever ordered the "muslim" burial ritual for his death would have been fired immediately.
Well, here we have to know all the facts.
I may not know all the facts, but if I recall correctly, there was a shootout going on in Bin Laden’s hideout. So trying to capture an unarmed Bin Laden may not have been realistic.
Do you know the facts, anyone else? Was Bin Laden ready to surrender, was he unarmed, was there not a firefight going on there?? Maybe I just don’t know the facts of what happened that day.
she would have tried to bring the terror leader to trial in accordance with international law.
And since it would have been his First Conviction, she would have recommended Probation and Community Service.
Reminds me of 1988, Dukakis talking about how he would respond to a hypothetical rape of his wife.
I think Bin Laden was dead since 2004, killed in Tora Bora. This was just some stunt.
That is the thing, no one knows the facts. There are no pictures. They threw his body into the ocean. It was told he was watching porn and he was unarmed. At the same time, we crashed a stealth helo, and there was a fire fight going on.
The following weeks, nearly every man in that operation was killed in a suspicious helo accident.
Then what?
Bring him back here and give him a show-trial in NYC so he could wax lyrical on the witness stand about the evils of The Great Satan?
