"Too little too late. A couple of trillion $$ and ten years late. Too little in that we got a corpse instead of a captive, when there was an opportunity to take him alive (or "mostly dead" if you get the reference). In all, we got more of a PR stunt than an actual historical event. Why? A trial could be cathartic and that is dangerous. It would reveal the gap between demonization and reality. It would also deflate the fear bubble. Fear was/is so useful in making the defense and homeland security dollars flow (at levels beyond reason) and perpetuating the government's emergency powers."
I'm guessing that a half dozen or so Seals entered Osama's room, where he was killed. I can't imagine that the 6'3", 130# Osama Bin Laden would have been much of a match for those hardened gentlemen, had they decided to capture him rather than kill him. I'm not questioning or criticizing the outcome, I'm saying that I don't believe a word that comes out of the White House. If the priority had been to capture rather than kill, that's what would have happened. Just sayin' :)

ReplyDeleteNo, ifs ands or buts.
