This was posted in the other Jill Stein thread, but I thought it deserved a thread of its own

Jill Stein doesn't know the first thing about international law, and is clearly just trying to be #edgy.

[Lief 🗽]

I bet she agreees with Jeremy Corbyn that OBL's death was a "tragedy." My god the left is horrible.

Nice. Now officially the most wacky person who has ever lived. Congratulations, Stein!

She wasn't nearly this loony in 2012. It's pretty obvious that she's going over the top on purpose to bleed votes back to Hillary and avoid becoming the new Ralph Nader.

Apparently the belief that bin Laden should have been captured and tried instead of killed - the position of George W. Bush in September 2001- is "fringe left" by modern standards. Remarkable.

A lot has changed in American politics recently, particularly, post-Obama. I'm still trying to get my finger on the pulse of the current electorate.

After Hitler, Osama bin Laden is the second worst human being who has ever lived. And you're trying to excuse him, seriously?

I don't see tara trying to "excuse" anyone, except maybe Stein.

Jill Stein is right yet again. Sad that she isn't the Democratic nominee so we could have someone respectable to vote for. You simply can't violate a human's right to live like that.

You ant bin Laden as your next president then? Nice. You must be a whole lot younger than me in order to think of the world as such a yatzy game. I used to be extremely naive when I was your age as well, trust me. Then 9/11 happened.

Great response.  Really reinforces your case.

Jill Stein further proving why she is literally the worst person currently running for prez

"Trump/Pence"

If your serious, then I marvel the ability to have that amount of dissonance.

[Lyin' Steve]

It's so strange to imagine Jill Stein doing anything.  It's like some little kid having a serious conversation about what he would do if he were the quarterback for the Jets.

[The Other Castro]

You can try to capture one of the most vile people to have ever lived if possible, but you have to make a judgement call to execute if given the opportunity. As I understand it this was plainly a kill order, which was understandable given the context of the operation. Stein can't simply state that she would've ordered a capture-only mission without venturing into fantasy.

[Devout Centrist]

They would've captured him if he didn't resist. Stein is an idiot.

[Lyin' Steve]

What the f**k were we supposed to do with him once we captured him?  Parade him around and let the whole world speculate on what we were doing with him?  Inspire more terrorist attacks to try to secure his release and turn him into the world's most famous prisoner?  He already confessed to his crimes, I believe he'd been convicted in absentia in multiple countries and the international courts, what's the point of spending millions on a show trial and letting him spew more hateful propaganda in the courtroom and dominate the international presses for months?  We still haven't even bothered to try KSM for christ's sake.  Far better to make that night the end of his story.

Can't tell if your being serious or not. If you aren't, I'll simply note that I never commented in favor or against a hypothetical bin Laden trial. I'm just noting we've become so bloodlust and paranoid in our society that the view of Bush in September 2001 - the peak of second-wave neoconservatism- is considered naive flower child nonsense today. Remarkable.

[Reluctant Republican]

Since Stein evidently believes the assassination was illegal, one wonders if she'd favor trying the SEAL team that did the deed for war crimes.

Puttting him on trial and then executing him/sticking him in a small cell for life isn't "excusing" him, it's trying to be better than him and his band of mass murders.

Shooting an armed and dangerous terrorist mastermind is morally equivalent to slaughtering thousands of innocent civilians.  Thanks for that Atlas.  On 9/11 no less.

[Santander]

Can we just make a consolidated "Jill Stein is an irrelevant lunatic" thread for these types of things instead of having all these threads devoted to this crazy woman?

[ProgressiveCanadian]

It would of been nice to bring him to trial just like the US did with the Nazi's.
