Well, I watch some tv shows on Hulu and there is one called Ultimate Force about one unit of the UK's SAS (Special Air Service) which is another very elite force like the Seals, etc. In nearly all of the episodes I watched, they killed the bad guys even when they were already down on the ground and already hit & helpless, they still did kill shots. They made sure those guys were dead. Then they moved on to continue until all the bad guys are dead.



Umm. . . what should they do with them?

They cannot spare people to guard them. They cannot give medical assistance. They have no back-up. Of COURSE they kill them dead.

I tend to think that a terrorist who is not armed,  would still have arms in their crack house.

I am still waiting to see what court determined OBL guilty of anything  LOL

No court required. 

Really?  Law of nations? Rules of war?  Geneva? Nuremberg? 
nothing?

just shootem dead?

Wait US = God? got it!


He was an avowed enemy of the nation,

yes the nations avowed him to be the enemy


who declared war on us,

Lets see the declaration

and then attacked us,

Lets see the proof that HE attacked us, that must be in some court case somewhere?  all that proof of what you claim?


murdering thousands.

I dont recall?  How did HE murder thousands?


His "trial" was when the US Congress passed a resolution giving him what he wanted, and then treated him just the same as any other enemy combatant.

Wow kool, lets see the evidence presented before the court and findings in fact and law to support that claim


In war, failure to surrender when demanded means that you have chosen to remain hostile, and therefore deadly force is within the law.

What war?  again lets see that documentation to support your claim.

that means BLACK INK ON WHITE PAPER not innuendo supposition propaganda and drama queen media hyperbole


He was asked to surrender.  He declined.  This made him a valid target for deadly force.

What jurisdiction did the US have over him or the nation he resided in?  Lets see the treaty that gave the US jurisdiction and the COURT that ordered him to surrender or was this another one of those MOB WITH GUNS democratic moves?


A target which was then serviced properly and legally.

Not a man?  Just a target?  Legally?  I keep asking for you to show me ALL THAT LEGALLY!

I have not seen anything LEGAL!

All I have seen is bullshit and the national Rah Rah team!


End of fucking legal theory.  You are the great "legal researcher", go look it up yourself.

ZZZzzzzz

suppport your claims jumior, aint gonna get it both ways!  You made the legal claims and put your dick on the chopping block now put it up.

If you have leaders openly promoting barberism (like cons are now,in the media),it won`t take long before we`re doing things just as evil as what bin-laden did.

Huh?

Clarify, please?


Peter King (R) NY is spreading the same BS rumor that water boarding,ie. torture, got us good intel and was justified.

cheney pulled this shit and got his ass slammed as the liar he is.

All this pro torture talk isn`t about making America safer.

It`s about cover for cheney`s and bush`s lame ass`s.

Have you examined the claims for veracity and support, or are you just reacting in a knee-jerk manner?

How many times does one need to be an ass hole before people get that they are ass holes?

And how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie-pop?

RealOne,

Seriously, if you are having trouble comprehending what Firm is telling you, understanding just how Congress works, what the definition of a 'resolution' is and how it is legally sound, I'm sure there is help out there for you. Otherwise, please, just shut the fuck up, your mindless asinine drivel is utterly boring.

You have so much BS in your post above, I can see that your vaunted "legal research" ability is apparent, not Real.

You are confusing "international law" and national jurisprudence.  Not the same thing at all.

Try these links:

Osama bin Laden's declaration of war

Bin Laden's Fatwa
August 1996

The following text is a fatwa, or declaration of war, by Osama bin Laden first published in Al Quds Al Arabi, a London-based newspaper, in August, 1996. The fatwa is entitled "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places."

Osama bin Laden Claims Responsibility for 9/11

Bin Laden Admits 9/11 Responsibility, Warns of More Attacks
Oct. 29, 2004, 5:10 p.m. ET

A tape aired by Al-Jazeera television Friday showed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden admitting for the first time that he orchestrated the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and saying the United States could face more.

US Declaration of War Against Osama bin Laden et al

Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists

The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists (Pub.L. 107-40, 115 Stat. 224, enacted September 18, 2001), one of two resolutions commonly known as "AUMF" ... was a joint resolution passed by the United States Congress on September 14, 2001, authorizing the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the attacks on September 11, 2001. The authorization granted the President the authority to use all "necessary and appropriate force" against those whom he determined "planned, authorized, committed or aided" the September 11th attacks, or who harbored said persons or groups. The AUMF was signed by President George W. Bush on September 18, 2001

OBL was a combatant, or well within the grey area, away from "noncombatant".  The Law of Land Warfare says that he if he surrenders, he must be protected.

He was given the opportunity, and apparently declined.  This made him a threat, and deadly force is an appropriate course of action.

Whether or not he was given very long to change his mind, or whether they tried "hard" to convince him, or whether or not he might have had weapons or the ability to cause harm to US soldiers is immaterial.  As far as anyone knows (or knew), he had a trigger device for a Paki nuke in his hand.

You don't give an enemy the opportunity to kill your soldiers.

Combatant.  Failure to surrender.  Deadly force.

None of your "legal" bullshit has anything to do with what happened.

Firm

Now I know that is TV and who knows how realistic it is. But, it may be that in real life it is fairly standard to just kill the targets and not screw around with wounding/taking them alive. It would be interesting to find out if that is the case.


I was being kind and answering/explaining it to you. No guards, medical corps, or back-up. So YES they kill them for their own security and peace of mind. Letting someone bleed-out or die of a gut-wound-infection is cruel. Listening to someone scream in pain from a shattered bone is horrific.

From what I understand, Osama was dressed in a loose nightshirt (remember it was about 1:00 a.m. at the time).  The Seals didn't know but what he may be wearing a suicide vest or have hidden booby traps.  Since he didn't show his hands or make any indication of giving up he was shot before he could have the opportunity to set of any possible explosions. 

I don't know how much if any of this is actually true, but under those circumstances I can understand why there wasn't more effort to take him alive as well as the reason he was killed while actually unarmed.

How do you know what they actually do? I would guess that is what they do but I dont have any actual proof that is what their orders are. Do you have actual proof? In some episodes yes they did leave some alive and bring in medics.

For the British, no. For the US, that is not something that I discuss.
