I appreciate what you're saying, but th...Hi IP,<br />I appreciate what you're saying, but there's an important difference between the Israelis taking out terrorists and what we did with OBL.<br /><br />The Mossad did what they did as a deterrent, as a message to future terrorist that Israel's arm was long and that killing Jews would no go unpunished. As such, it was a foreign policy accomplishment, and one that Israel has sadly fallen down on somewhat lately.<br /><br />In the case of OBL, IMO what we accomplished was far outweighed by the negative consequences.<br /><br />Another difference is that the Israel and the Mossad never made a point about boasting about what they were doing..they always left things ambiguous.<br /><br />Barack Obama is blatantly using this as a political' gimmee', which is why I think OBL was killed in the first place.<br /><br />Regards,<br />RobRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332213651195340500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-32146663364681993842012-01-16T14:54:29.906-08:002012-01-16T14:54:29.906-08:00You know i detest Prez Zero as much as any thinkin...You know i detest Prez Zero as much as any thinking person, but really was he supposed to let OBL get away if he the intel? I think its more about his inept handling of the aftermath. I also think that with the Arab Spring, turning into the Islamists winter, al-Queda would be back in Egypt and the Arab middle east with or without the assassination. An yes, retribution sometimes is important or why did Israel create the Wrath of God Units?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
