Our Israeli sources claim to see Mughniyeh’s signature on the wreckage in New York and Washington. How to counter this kind of terrorism? "To fight these bastards you don’t need a military attack," said an experienced Israeli commando officer. "You only need to adopt Israel’s assassination policy."

Regarding an assassination policy, the liberals have shackled our intelligence apparatus with several gems of legislation, among them the Boland Amendment, specifically forbidding the use of any American intelligence or military assets in committing or even assisting an assassination.

All those in favor of repealing the Boland Amendment, please raise your hands.

---I strongly doubt -for various reasons- that this "boland amendment" is really strictly followed. The main reason foreign leaders are not targeted very often is because all the worlds leaders know they are vulnerable, and none of them want to go that route. They leave expiring in combat to the lesser minions, whom are all expendable. Sort of an unoffical/offical good ole boys rule. It occassionally happens, but for the most part doesn't. Usually various leaders wind up snuffed by their own people eventually if they are true numbnuts. That is much more common than foreigners doing it.

It's one thing for israel, an armored small country in the middle of a sea of hostility-to follow this sort of regime, but for the US to persue that as foreign policy will quickly change once various elected puffers get whacked. Which most likely would happen should it become official policy. Osama is an unelected or ruler of nothing really, saddam is a different deal there. My guess would be they might seek to use the carrot and the stick to foment a revolt in his own entourage, the more classical method, should they start to hit iraq again, which I believe they will. I also believe the reports that state he uses up to half a dozen body doubles and travels and hides constantly, they might get a 'body" that looks like saddam maybe, but if saddam expires it will be more likely a random collateral damage hit, or a member of his own entourage who does him.

Both hands raised.
