Jill Stein: I would not have assassinated bin Laden
CNN ^ | September 12, 2016 | David Wright

Posted on 09/12/2016 8:12:35 AM PDT by C19fan

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.

Bring him to trial? The motions would still be ongoing! What an idiot.

okay. I thought it was reported he was unarmed, and they shoot him on first sight.

It is a micro-aggression and unfair to state the truth.

“I think Bin Laden was dead since 2004, killed in Tora Bora. This was just some stunt.”

I tend to agree with you.

I distinctly remember Rush saying that “Rumor has it that Bin Laden has assumed room temperature”. He added he wasn’t 100% sure, but that’s the unconfirmed work he’s getting.

I never heard another thing about it by Rush again, either way - if OBL was in fact dead or alive.

You right wing meanies just do not understand. If Jill could have brought Osama here before 9-11 she could have soothed his nerves with herbal tea and a full body toxin removing colonic treatment. They could have listened to relaxing new age music while the toxins were removed from Osama’s body. After that he wouldn’t have wanted to kill anyone. It would have been beautiful and there would now be peace everywhere in the world. /S

taking terrorists alive is the exact mistake Isarel keeps making

it only gives Isarel several thousand terorists to support in jail, and then they get out and then they murder more and more innocent people

when you see a terrorist, you KILL it!
period!
protect your community, your family, your self, don’t screw around Ms. Stein. grow up and get smart and then people might just might vote for you someday

How do we know that osama is dead? Buried at sea with no pictures taken? LOTS of the people who supposedly killed him now dead themselves??

So, you capture and put him on trial.

Then he has access, by law, to much of the prosecution’s intel as part of his defense prep.

And he has lawyers to act as couriers to distribute that intel to whomever. That’s already happened at least once with another jihadiscum brought to trial.

Ok, then he goes to prison. Prison where he has the same ability of gang bosses to continue to communicate with the outside for whatever purposes he chooses. He’s also in place to recruit from among the prisoners. This is already a rather significant problem with radical jihadiscum imams working the prisons for new converts.

There is no upside to any part or piece of putting any jihadiscum through the court system. None.

There is no value in that to anyone other than the jihadiscum themselves.

I tend to think of such things as desiring to provide direct aid and comfort to an enemy cause, even if it stems not from an openly treasonous mindset but from a rather sub-juvenile cause vs effect incompetence.

The entire Lawfare movement is a moral cowardice that simply refuses to close with and engage and enemy to its necessary destruction.

re: Bin Laden’s “Muslim” burial

It is an interesting aspect of all this Islamist b.s., that even while all the Muslims and Muslim lovers in the USA and Europe constantly clamor that “terrorism has nothing to do with Islam” they expect even a mega-terrorist like Bin Laden to receive Muslim rituals in burial.

Suppose we had just disposed of his sorry corpse in any ol’ way, they would have screamed about disrespecting Islam. So which is it, if Bin Laden has to have an Islamic burial (according to these a-holes) then how can it be that his terrorism has “nothing to do with Islam”???

As far as I know, the only reason we DID NOT have a TRIAL for the mastermind of 9/11 - was because we would have been required TO REVEAL DETAILS OF HOW WE KNEW WHERE HE WAS, HOW WE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT HIS MOVEMENTS, HIS ASSOCIATES, ETC.

It was very logical to remove him from living .. instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in security to keep him in some kind of jail (during and after the trial) - where he could agitate others in the jail - where he could have been the target of an attempt to rescue him from jail (killing many people in the process).

THEREFORE, WHEN YOU TAKE THOSE STATS INTO CONSIDERATION; IT’S BETTER TO TAKE HIM OUT. HIS COMPOUND PROVIDED MORE THAN ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT OUR CLAIMS AGAINST HIM.

This would be my main reasoning of why I WOULD NOT VOTE FOR JILL STEIN. She is .. classically .. ignorant of the real world. There are REAL EVIL PEOPLE in the world. And, we are not obligated to treat them with kid gloves and/or kindness after they have murdered over 3,000 of our citizens.

Ms. Stein is grossly ignorant of the real world.

“...she would have tried to bring the terror leader to trial in accordance with international law.”

I suspect Jill prefers international law over American law and/or American interests.

“Wonder why he wasn’t?”

Because he knew where the money was coming from and who his US contacts were. IIRC it was said at one point he was hiding in Iran. The Mullahs, on the brink of collapse in 2009 gets an endorsement from Obama effectively killing the orange revolution and the overthrow of the Mullocracy. Now we we 1.7 billion going to Iran, with an estimated 33 billion going there over the last 8 years.

Can you imagine Bin Laden being captured alive and starts talking?

Oh yeah, the trial would have been a huge circus. Dead men, tell no tales.

The question becomes - who gets her votes? Hillary or Trump?

I’d rather Stein do her best impression of a viable Hillary alternative than say stupid crap like this.

Makes you wonder if she was coerced into saying such a dumb thing.
