I’m sure Obama sought approval from the UN prior to authorizing the action.

Yeah, but we just got tired from waiting for Bin Laden to “off himself” like your dear Fuhrer, Herr Darnstädt.
What is it about WAR that you do not understand?
It looks like you have embraced the bumper sticker philosophy, “What if they gave a WAR and nobody came?”
The problem is that the other side, Muslim jihadists, decided that since they called the WAR, they would keep it up, even if you and your ilk refuse to play.
Well at least we will not have to worry about holder deciding that he was one of his people and sweeping the whole thing under the rug.
It probably wasn’t legal.
Bin Laden was unarmed, as they are now saying. He was not a combatant. He was in Pakistan, the government of which says they never gave permission for the mission. There really isn’t a declared war with any state here.
Obama is a war crminal. Try him at the Hague.
No blood for a poll bump.
Truthers should be outraged that their man in DC just killed an innocent man.
I have two words for Thomas Dahmstadt,
UP YOURS!!!
...and that's as far as I got.
War is not aged to determine who is right. War is waged to determine who is left.
Obama = War Criminal
Start the impeachment immediately if not sooner.
Just as I predicted. The FReepers are defending their War President. Why don’t you all go sign up for Organizing for America.
Why exactly are you defending Obama? The federal government breaks laws, acts immorally, and breaks the customs of common decency against Americans on a daily basis. So easy to manipulate you people.
Who cares if it’s legal? Would we be worried if someone killed Hitler “illegally” during WWII?
When an organization commits a domestic act of war killing thousands of your citizens and takes refuge in sympathetic countries, it is a political not a legal matter. The only controlling law if force of arms. At least for now.
Legal? Who cares. It was the right thing to do.
An liberal intellectual incompetent from Germany.
Big surprise.
We do not need to hear lectures on morality and legalities from the country which gave the world Hitler, Eichmann, the SS and concentration camps.
This came out early yesterday afternoon, PDQ IMO.

Someone doesn’t understand the concept of sovereignty.
Is writing a bad article legal?
Was it illegal to attack on another country's territory? Strictly speaking we did not attack a Pakistani national and as per the Pakis, Osami did not live there, hence as per their logic, no one was killed. Ergo, it was perfectly legal.
