"Collateral Damage": Trudeau Blames Trump For Iran Accidentally Shooting Down Passenger Plane

So what you are saying is that since we knew of the imminent threat Bin Laden was to the USA, and that we did not act in time, the people who died in that attack would welcome the fact that we did not take him out in time to prevent the attack that killed them? Huh?

Soliemani could have been planning another 9/11-type attack. We took him out, so now another 9/11-type deal will not happen.

That is my point. Oi!

@vanzandt am I off my rocker here, or is someone else? You seem to be a mind of reason. If I am wrong about my thinking, then I will forever support letting terrorists live so they can plan more 9/11s against the USA. EVEN if they say on their FB page that they are going to do something terrible to the country.

I mean, if he says that he is going to bomb the Super Bowl, I suppose I should just wish to let it happen? Because until he performs the act, it is not an imminent threat?

I am totally confused by TreeFrog's ideas here. I think I got it right, but I need verification from you, a clearer-minded thinker.

I think it was just the way he wrote it. You're both saying the same thing I think.

I am saying exactly what I said:

"Imminent" is not a factor in justifying the taking out of a terrorist.

If you have knowledge of the whereabouts of a terrorist you should take them out if you can, regardless of whether they are just planning imminent events or they did something years ago and are just hiding out. Take them out.

If Osama bin Laden or Al Badgadi are hiding out somewhere and you find them. Take them out. I am not the one to say to families of victims, oh no we can't do that because they don't appear to be involved in an imminent new escapade. We have knowledge of what Solemeini has done over the years. Whether he was about to hit an embassy next week, next month, or never is neither here nor there.

I certainly hope so. I keep trying to forget the fact that Tree once accused me of being a Canadian. So I then think "OK, Tree is an American". But how he can garble up his message that way is obscene. Of course imminent is a factor in justification for an "offing" of the attacker.

OK, I get it. We mean the same thing, but it's just a language/grammar cross of understanding. Well, I glad we got that straight.

Airplane sound time!

Let us remain of good cheer, and I actually don't recall accusing you of being Canadian but may have mixed up my usernames and who is who, for which I apologize forthwith.
 
Here, fixed it for you...

""Imminent" is not the ONLY factor in justifying the taking out of a terrorist." Or, "that they are a terrorist is a justifiable reason for taking them out. If they are planning an imminent attack, then that is a reason to take them out faster than the lower-level threats".

It's all good. The only thing that troubles me now is that your name sank into me tonight...Is there a market for trading tree frogs, and if so, what is the volume and spread on them like? I would hope they are more liquid than class IV milk futures.
