Wrong. I advise you to read my posts before replying since I never accused the US of not trying this but actually I asked if they tried it. I also don't know why you still keep the Interpol tangent up since I explicitely conceded everything but a few points pertaining to the status of international laws and customs in my last reply to Simon.
Give me the courtesy of reading my posts in total before replying so I don't have to waste my time and repeat myself.
This is tied to your failure to read my posts in total and carefully above, but would you please let things stay in context? I said this as answer for why the hunt for Bin Laden took as long as it did. It's also funny that you talk about shizophrenic attitudes when I long and drawn-out explained that I am OK with Bin Laden's death but just want people to acknowledge that this operation represented an extreme measure not to be replicated lightly. Really, spending at least five minutes to read what I actually wrote before replying can't be that much of an effort, right?This is UTTER BULLSHIT.
Your schizophrenia about when international law should be respected is just astounding. We can't go into another country to try and capture or kill someone, but it's unconscionable that we didn't "extend the search to" that same country in an effort to... CAPTURE OR KILL THAT SAME PERSON!?!?!
