Is it really assassination when they've declared war on you and follow up with actual attacks?

Justice was served. Being as we were unable to arrest him, we killed him. That's how justice works. Always has. If Joe Blow kills his family and then holes up in his house, eventually we go in and get him armed with guns. He had the option of surrendering, he failed to do so.

You use the word friend to loosely. More like pawns used to achieve a common goal.

I don't have the same friends that I did 15 years ago... do you? I have one old friend that is serving in fed. What control over that did I have? 15 years ago he was a good friend.

america declared war on al-queda correct ? are you saying if an al-queda sniper had shot george bush or barrack obama that it would NOT have been an assasination it would have been a legit wartime act ?

from wikipedia

An assassination is "to murder (a usually prominent person) by a sudden and/or secret attack, often for political reasons."[1][2] An additional definition is "the act of deliberately killing someone especially a public figure, usually for hire or for political reasons."
Assassinations may be prompted by religious, ideological, political, or military motives. Additionally, assassins may be prompted by financial gain, revenge for perceived grievances, a desire to acquire fame or notoriety (that is, a psychological need to garner personal public recognition), a wish to form some kind of "relationship" with the public figure, a wish or at least willingness to be killed or commit suicide in the attack.

this thread is a trainwreck of logic. smokey you are smarter than this.

did you pay your friend and give him cool weapons to kill russians , and promise him you were going to help him rebuild , then sold him out and bounced his last check ? if so would it be all that suprising he broke your mailbox and egged your house ?

This was certainly a targeted assassination and therefore illegal under international law...... which makes me think..... fuck international law. :321GFY

No, which only makes me reiterate "you are using the word friend too loosely."

i believe killing should be a last resort option. pretty simple logic..

osama was a lunatic serial killer, we don't stoop to their level which is what we are doing.

You go off topic a lot. You should try to stay on topic better.

Fitty peaceful killings

osama believed they must kill us to prevent us from killing them

our solution kill all of them to prevent them from kiling us. = same exact belief system = vicious circle.. if this was a program you coded it would be running a loop and crash after everyone died

Osama wasn't taken out by that sort of action. It was a legit fight or at least ended up that way.
