..."if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body...
   
We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic.

On one very slim level, that might actually make MY day, but I with many other DUers would be outliers in the mass reaction of the rest of the United States -- and, all joking aside, I believe that regardless of the hyperbolic sense of justice of this imagined action, we'd all quickly rally around the flag/troops/etc, outraged at the violation of our borders/security/sovereignty.

Here's Noam Chomsky's take on the bin Laden assassination. Worth a read whether you agree with him or not.

Noam Chomsky: My Reaction to Osama bin Laden’s Death

(snip)

We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush’s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic. Uncontroversially, his crimes vastly exceed bin Laden’s, and he is not a “suspect” but uncontroversially the “decider” who gave the orders to commit the “supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole” (quoting the Nuremberg Tribunal) for which Nazi criminals were hanged: the hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of refugees, destruction of much of the country, the bitter sectarian conflict that has now spread to the rest of the region.

7. don't think Obama rises to the level of international villain that W achieved
   
point is taken -- but likely, Obama wouldn't fall under the doctrine of "It's OK if they're really really hated."

14. You don't think to the victims of drone strikes or the civilians killed in Afghanistan Obama is a
   
villain?

I mean a lot more people have died in Afghanistan since Obama took office than on 9/11, what if they claimed a right to the same sort of "justice"? Would anyone support it?

38. My thought exactly
   
Bush invaded Iraq. Obama continued in Iraq, and then, moved into Afghanistan. Then moved into Pakistan. Oh, and started bombing Libya. Diff party, same monsters.

So is Obama guilty of war crimes then? Shall we frogmarch him to the Hague?

3. Minor detail . . . . .
   
. . . if it were Idiot Son, it is more likely they'd drop him in the Gulf, not the Atlantic, the Gulf being closer.

Stinky calling someone an idiot is priceless.

Actually Karl Rove killed him, if he would have been captured he would have ratted out the BFEE.

DU is full of absolute pigs.

I really think they hope that if they mention it enough, a crazy person will assign him/herself to the task..

FIFY.  I know it means the same, but it clearer this way.

No gun, no sense, no guts, no glory....it's not a job for a DUmmie.

The are a few gun owners over on the Island and it wouldn't take guts, just enough goading from the DUmmies.  They would believe that the world would adore them for the deed.

The DUmmies wet dream, like most dreams has some glaring omissions. Like for example, Bush isn't a fugitive from some other country hiding in a different country. Now if GWB was Icelandic, living in the US and hiding out from Chinese justice in Mexico they'd have a comparison. BUT being DUmbasses we get narrow minded drivel like this from them.

Don't forget, the DUmmies are still hoping for Spain to prosecute President Bush for war crimes.  Their hope is for a conviction to make him a wanted criminal.

Careful what you wish for, just opposing Obama could be considered sedition by some folks.

He'd've been deported with Alinsky decades ago.

There's certainly some sad cases of humanity out there 

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Wait, Noam Chomsky said that?  And he's still a credible influence as a so-called intellectual?

[Bondai]

I couldn't help but notice that DUmmies have morphed the justified killing of a mass murderer into an assassination, funny how their minds work.......
