So the Navy SEALs who performed the extra-judicial execution (aka ‘assassination’) of Osama bin Laden — and that’s what it was, people, since there was never any intention to take him alive, as Nicholas Schmidie has shown an article printed in The New Yorker of 8 August entitled “Getting Bin Laden” — have died in a helicopter ‘accident’ in Afghanistan?
“Well,” to quote my old mate George W, “who’d’a thunk it?” The execution squad can no longer be interrogated as to who ordered the ‘hit’ or what their instructions were — they are now safely dead and, as ‘genuine American heroes’ are beyond the pale of criticism by ordinary mortals (even – or especially – congressional oversight committees). And their deaths can be used as justification for greater US efforts to control the globe.
No surprises here — move along, folks!
