1 OT for here - But it looks like Althouse's archives are up. Posts are back but the old comments are still gone for now.

2 Yale Law Professor.  Meh. Dime a dozen.

3 Why complain about "eurotrash".  Lefties here have been making the same argument.  Certainly, any discussion about "reciprocity" runs into the fact that our courts and the left have extended greater procedural rights to one who is a terrorist than to a soldier that might follow the rules.  The latter doesn't get habeas while the former does (and done pro bono by a good old US law firm that wouldn't dare defend the DOMA)

4 Yeah that's right it's an assignation. Pay no attention to the NATO planes trying to "assassinate" Kadafi....

8 At least their anti-Americanism is consistent, unlike the American left which is appalled and gobsmacked when a terrorist has water poured on his nose; but is all "Yippee-ki-yi-yay-Marthafocker" when OBL gets a double tap to the head.

Comment of the Day IMO

If it weren't for double standards the left wouldn't have any standards.

13 Most of the laws of war depend on a modicum of reciprocity: We give our enemy's soldiers certain rights in the hope that they will do the same for ours.

Think of that double tap as tiny little Flights 11 and 175 flying into OBL's brain. 

14

Most of the laws of war depend on a modicum of reciprocity: We give our enemy's soldiers certain rights in the hope that they will do the same for ours. Men who make war on innocent civilians and behead their prisoners live by a different law. They should expect to die by it as well.

I like this comment, even though it's from Yale.

15 We didn't take many SS prisoners after Malmedy, no matter how vigorously they tried to surrender.  And we didn't do anything except give medals to those who didn't take those prisoners.  With that little fact in mind the only response the Eurotrash deserve is a hearty "FYNQ?".

19 And this is with O'Baby in the White House. Imagine if George Bush had ordered the kill.

20 Blame Woodrow Wilson's stupid ass for injecting morality into international relations and delegitimizing national interests and balance of power.  And for almost single-handedly ensuring WW2.

21 ""Self Righteous indignation brought to you by the same people who brought humanity such great contribution as World War 1, World War 2, The Holocaust, Facism, Communism, Socialism, Police States, the Welfare State, and hairy women.""


I have been saying that for years. Fuck europe. They got a lot of balls man, ALL...ALL of the worst episodes in human history happened over THERE.

22 Bush should be brought up on murder charges. It was Bush that implemented the order to kill bin Laden, not Presadent Obama....Obama was just forced to follow Bush's illegal policy !!!

23 An "extrajudicial execution," that's what many in the international community are now calling the killing of Osama bin Laden.

I invite you to review

Hostis humani generis

Few in history fit the description so well is OBL.

24 Hey I think we should listen to every thing the Euros say about us. Because they are so smart and on top o things. But oh yeah, next time they want to go into a country like Libya Militarily and like don't have the right killing stuff, and they come begging to the mean right wing bastard Americans for the weapons and support...well there is this short pier they can take a long walk off with my foot up their big fat lazy ass!

25

I always though  Dave Chappelle's response to the UN as "Black George Bush" was hilarious.

I wish Obama did this.

 

 

26 Santa Ana and all those Mexican soldiers at the Alamo should be re-animated and tried for War Crimes

and I'm just getting started.......

27 I oppose extrajudicial assassinations on senior citizens that would occur if the Ryan Plan were implemented.

28 OT

29 The U.N.'s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for an investigation

Why are we still in the U.N.?

30 Maybe the President will take a trip up to NYC to turn himself in.

31 President Barack Obama, following talks with Jordan's King Abdullah, said on Tuesday it was "more vital than ever" to get Israel and the Palestinians back to negotiations toward a peace deal. Obama said the Israelis and the Palestinians must "begin negotiating a process whereby they can create two states living side by side in peace and security. ??? Yeah and I want to hit 350 this year also, but I guess that ain't happening?

32 Euro-elites sure seem to prefer process over substance. OBL got 2 bullets to the head and dumped into the sea. More respect than I would have showed.

33 Yeah that's right it's an assignation. Pay no attention to the NATO planes trying to "assassinate" Kadafi....

Hey! That's different. We're enforcing a no fly zone. And if his baggage, his tickets, cab ride and he are bombed to smithereenies, then he can't fly. You ugly Americans don't understand European nuance.

34 I swear, people are such pussies. Of course we intend to kill people all the time. We deploy snipers, remote missiles, minefields, etc. We assault objectives with intent to kill. As a young buck doing squad lane training with live ammo for the first time, I was in the assault element and we swept through this hilltop objective and set up for the counterattack. During the after action review Q&A, one of the privates asked what we do with the enemy wounded on the objective. "There aren't any enemy wounded. They had their chance to surrender when the support element opened fire. If they're still 'resisting' give 'em a couple extra to shut 'em the fuck up." I was always good with that. The SEALs weren't told to capture bin Laden or to kill him. They were told "go GET that motherfucker." What that means is that probably he dies. It would only be in the most astronomical confluence of events that they are in an obvious position to grab him with zero risk. We murder people who we decide need to die. Fuck the U.N. If they don't like it. Fuck our own pussy citizens who don't like it.

35

30 Why are we still in the U.N.?

To share the wealth, of course. Why else would we violate to Constitution to go do something?

42 This is a win-win for the European betters. They get the result AND they get to play up the anti-Americanism. That it's happening to the pop start that rolled through Europe three years ago makes it more apparant.

And they can keep their smug superiority right up until their Muslim underclass guts them like a pig.

47 Europeans are fucking EUseless.

48

Europe seems to forget even its own modern history with terrorists.  What, exactly, opportunities to surrender were given at Loughgall, Gibraltar, Beslan, the NordOst theater contratemps, GSG-9 at Mogadishu, the Iran Embassy affair in London, etc.

49 And they can keep their smug superiority right up until their Muslim underclass guts them like a pig.

And feeds them their own guts, which will probably produce this last statement: "Mon Dieu, my liv-arr, it izz so tasty! (Coughs wetly) And my sweetbreads! (Cough) Ziss would be so good with a nice Pouilly-Fuisse! If only it would not run right out of my gaping belly! Arrrrrrgggghhhhhh*!"

50 What that means is that probably [UBL] dies. It would only be in the most astronomical confluence of events that they are in an obvious position to grab him with zero risk.

This is the point that I can't seem to get across to my kin. They so desperately want this operation to have been an out-an-out "hit" culminating with Usama screaming for mercy at Miller's Crossing -- and they support that!

It never needed to be; a legal military operation still ends with Usama dead.

Even though he had a couple pathways to capture instead of death, it was never likely that he would end up on those paths.

51 Wow, who new Barry was such a cold blooded killer?  I wonder if Holder is gonna prosecute?

52 When the get their international police/military together and take me into custody maybe just maybe I'll give a rats ass what they say.

53 Ay-yo, Europe.  This is America, bitch!  We snipe and barbeque our own kids, motherfucker.  What do you think we're gonna do to foreigners - play Parcheesi with 'em?

Bin Laden was as legitimate as targets get. Anyone who thinks otherwise can let me know who they are and where they live so I can put a McDonald's there.

(I'm an American. That's what we do.)

57 Rush called it, these Eurotrash socialist types are merely modeling themselves as a new aristocracy.

58 "Self Righteous indignation brought to you by the same people who brought humanity such great contribution as World War 1, World War 2, The Holocaust, Facism, Communism, Socialism, Police States, the Welfare State, and hairy women."

Don't forget the industrialized genocide!  Fuck Germany and all the other austrian-speaking losers - sideways with a rusty AK-47!

59 So we can expect the Nobel Peace Prize committee to denounce itself then.

60 Anyone who thinks otherwise can let me know who they are and where they live so I can put a McDonald's there.

Awesome. It's what we should do with UBL's compound. There's a great spot for a drive-thru if you bulldoze it.

61 This is Amy "Tiger Mother" Chua's husband (and fellow Yale Law professor), btw.

62 Perfect time for that timeless P.J. O'rourke piece wherein he puts down some eurotrash at a party .  Y'all know the one .
"We be bad".

63 Bin Laden killed 3000 of our citizens, more or less and we're supposed to treat him with kid gloves. I suppose that's what these Euroweenies would do. That's not how Americans do it.

Or it wasn't. The One did it to try to save his useless presidency. If he is re-elected, let some character repeat the deed and the O will have all kinds of reasons why he won't do it. For one thing, he'll be much too busy finishing off the American system of government, liberty and life.

64

Obviously, the only proper way to kill Bin Laden was with a poisoned tea time. "I say, chap, are you feeling on the up and up?" Then his head explodes.

Problem solved. You're welcome, Eurpoe.

65 Yeah, PJOrourke had a good one.

66 What the eurotrash thinks amounts to nothing, but at least it will piss off Zero.

My only concern with this is that it might give something for Obama to actually run to the right of.

70
Our soldiers are forced to fight to the death, because capture by these savages means certain death from torture, rape, beheading and post-mortem mutilation.

My give-a-shit-what-the-fucking-Eurotrash-think meter ain't exactly pegged.

71

I agree OBL should have been taken alive, but only to 'torture' him. 

BTW, you know how you know something isn't really torture?

When more journalists voluntarily undergo the procedure than actual cases of it being implemented in the field.    

72
He should have armed himself.

I'm pretty sure that while a certain level of surprise was achived, it wasn't total and complete. Unless USL was killed in the opening minutes of the ensuing firefight, he had an opportunity to arm himself and fight back, or strap on a suicide vest and blow himself and his computers to Allah.

73 It must be so mentally exhausting to be a liberal right now.

A few days ago, we had a story about a wind farm killing endangered animals. Libs love wind and animals. What side to choose? Head explosion.

Today, libs love Obama like no other. Yet they are also quite enamored of Eurotrash. What side to choose? My bet is on Teh Won, but there's got to be some mental gymnastics going on.

74 "What is overcoming the enemy? Always simply the destruction of his military force, whether it be by death, or wounds, or any means; whether it be completely or only to such a degree that he can no longer continue the contest; therefore as long as we set aside all special objects of combats, we may look upon the complete or partial destruction of the enemy as the only object of all combats."

Killing the enemy is the ultimate consequence of war. I have yet to see AQ formally declare war, adhere to the rules of war, declare a "cease-fire" or show they actually belong to the human race.

So we will continue to kill them. Irrespective of border and without adhering to any so-called legal obligation the liberals Democrats and even Obama, have tried to handcuff us with.

Wars are ultimately won by attrition and ruthlessness, displaying to the enemy you are capable of, and will stop at nothing to defend your cause. Then and only then, can you make a lasting peace.

75

"Back in LondonÂ…one more person started in on the Stars and Stripes. Eventually he got, as the Europeans always do, to the part about 'Your country's never been invaded.' (This fellow had been two during the Blitz, you see.) 'You don't know the horror, the suffering. You think that war isÂ…'

"I snapped.

"A John Wayne movie' I said. 'That's what you were going to say, isn't it? We think war is a John Wayne movie-with good guys and bad guys, as simple as that. Well, you know something, Mister Limey Poofter? You're right. And let me tell you who those bad guys are. They're us. WE BE BAD.'

"We're the baddest-assed sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We're three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended from a stock market crash on our mother's side. You take your Germany, France and Spain, roll them all together and it won't give us room to park our cars. We're the big boys, Jack, the original, giant, economy-sized, new and improved butt kickers of all time. When we snort coke in Houston, people lose their hats in Cap d'Antibes. And we've got an American Express credit card limit higher than your piss-ant metric numbers go.'

"You say our country's never been invaded? You're right, little buddy. Because I'd like to see the needle-dicked foreigners who'd have the guts to try. We drink napalm to get our hearts started in the morning. A rape and a mugging is our way of saying 'Cheerio'. Hell can't hold our sock-hops. We walk taller, talk louder, spit further, fuck longer, and buy more things than you know the names of. I'd rather be a junkie in a New York City jail than the king, queen, and jack of all you Europeans. We eat little counties like this for breakfast and shit them out before lunch.'

"Of course, the guy should have punched me. But this was Europe. He just smiled his shabby, superior European smile."

-P.J. O'Rourke - Holidays in Hell - Page 203

77 damn.....  I knew it was missing something...

78 To paraphrase Unforgiven, "He shoulda armed himself if he was gonna kill my people."

79 Europeans would like to return to the old rules of warfare, where you line up a lot of peasants and spend a few years killing them before the officers finally get tired and then have a drinks party and settle up on borders.

We target the officers, not sporting you know.

They hijack our planes
and they raise our oil prices
So kill 'em all and have a ball,
and end their fucking crisis!"

We give our enemy's soldiers certain rights in the hope that they will do the same for ours.

 

Which of our enemies have ever abided by this?  I'm thinking we have to go back to WW I.

89 I'm watching a documentary on communism. In 1945, a 14 year old east german girl went back to school and saw that all the Hitler portraits were replaced with ones of Stalin.  So, she drew a bow on his mustache with lipstick.  She was sentenced to 10 years prison, first at Sauchausen where she was subject to mock executions and to other prisons were she was repeatedly raped.

This is what the lefftards think was so wonderful.

90

We give our enemy's soldiers certain rights in the hope that they will do the same for ours.

That plan didn't work out well for the Wisconsin Republicans.

91 Europeans are not our friends.  Next time they call on us to save their bacon we need to tell them sorry, no can do.  If they ask why,  ask to  them to remember the times they called us stupid, naive barbarians.  These people think they are vastly superiou to us with no basis whatsoever.

Dear Eurotrash,

Bin Ladin was NOT assasinated! He was shot down like the rabid dog he was. He was not a head of state, he was the leader of a terrorist organization that has sworn to kill us. If you don't like that we acted to rid the world of this POS, then maybe we should just take our toys and come home. Let the Russians protect you. NATO can handle anything. Oh wait....

97 All charges of murder and manslaughter raised against the killing of ObL are quite simply answered:

"Blow me".

Barry could pick up another 2 points in the polls for the sake of those two words.

98 OBL deserved the same treatment given prominent American citizens Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker: At approximately 9:15 a.m. on May 23, the posse, concealed in the bushes and almost ready to concede defeat, heard Barrow's stolen Ford V8 approaching at a high speed. The posse's official report had Barrow stopping to speak with Henry Methvin's father, planted there with his truck that morning to distract him and force him into the lane closer to the posse. The lawmen then opened fire, killing Barrow and Parker while shooting a combined total of approximately 130 rounds. All accounts of the ambush, including his own, agree that Oakley fired first, and probably before any order was given to do so. "Each of us six officers had a shotgun and an automatic rifle and pistols. We opened fire with the automatic rifles. They were emptied before the car got even with us. Then we used shotguns ... There was smoke coming from the car, and it looked like it was on fire. After shooting the shotguns, we emptied the pistols at the car, which had passed us and ran into a ditch about 50 yards on down the road. It almost turned over. We kept shooting at the car even after it stopped. We weren't taking any chances."

99 These aren't citizens we're talking about, they are armed combatants who don't wear a uniform or abide by the Geneva Conventions or the laws of war. In the old days people like this were considered as "Hostis humani generis" or operating outside the law and thus were considered to also be operating outside it's protection. And it largely put and end to piracy.

100 When did it become legal to shoot someone that is not armed?  What's next shooting people in the back?  Shooting civilians?  This is a very slippery slope, icy in fact.  Given "O"s demonstrated desire to be king don't be surprised when they start shooting people in airports.....wait, they already have.  There now is a bill in the house to let the President declare war anywhere anytime for anything.  Wake UP!
