Jill Stein: ‘I would not have assassinated Osama bin Laden’
2016-09-13
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein said Sunday that she would not have ordered the liquidation of al Qaeda founder and 9/11 criminal mastermind the late Osama bin Laden
... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse...
"I think liquidations ... they’re against international law to start with and to that effect, I think I would not have assassinated Osama bin Laden but would have captured him and brought him to trial," Mrs. Steintold The Des Moines Register before her first campaign appearance in Iowa marking the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

During her speech, she said the attacks "provided a pretext for the wrong wars, which have only gotten us into more trouble."

"What we should have done is declare a crime against humanity and pursued it, pursued the attackers and gotten the intelligence about who was behind this," Mrs. Stein said.

She also criticized U.S. foreign policy following the 9/11 attacks and called both Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Frederick T. Frelinghuysen ...
and Donald Trump "warmongers."

#7  Osama was KIA, not assassinated. He was holding a weapon when he was killed.

#4  And exactly how would you have done that?

Just march the 1st division into Abbatobad? Declare war on Pakistan? Send the FBI in with a warrant; from whom in what jurisdiction?

Pshaw.
