Fragony, Banquo's Ghost, if he bombed it would have been hard to confirm the kill. Also, bombing civilians in "neutral" territory was probably advised against. Do I have to explain why or can you figure it out?

econ21, I was not very surprised either, the whole hiding behind a woman thing just seemed too good to be true. Small matter, maybe, but I just hate propaganda. Like with Obama not watching the assault. Does it matter? Not really, it is just worth pointing out he did not because they started the whole propaganda-look-at-our-commander-in-chief-yee-haa-and-here-is-the-cool-picture-to-show-thing. Not vital at all, just showing the theatrical side of US politics. That is the picture that will be remembered, you know. Just like when I think of the Iraq war I see this picture of Saddam's statue falling with a cheering crowd around - even though I now know that was completely staged and the cheering crowd was paid to be there and cheer.

Strike for the south, I will adress you when/if you learn proper manners. Or when/if you write something interesting. Whatever happens first.

PJ, My talk about Geneva was directed to the WW2 comment from before, and I made a whole other point than what you seem to have got. I do not believe I claimed OBM should be handled by the Geneva convention as you seem to think.
