Mr Aqil has died
« on: September 28, 2024, 10:06:18 AM »
  Recently the IDF killed Mr. Aqil and an associate who were tied to the bombing of the Marine barracks killing 241 in Beirut,1983. Recently US had put a multi-million bounty on them. My question to our leaders is how they were allowed to live 41 years and continue to cause havoc? They would have been replaced with new men knowing what the rewards for their bad needs would be. We must show there is consequences for killing our troops!  on This shows poor leadership on this for 41 years .To let someone kill our troops and not do anything because we might offend them is weak.
   Thank you IDF for doing what we would not do!

Have you been binge watching James Bond movies or something? You do know where he has been hiding is not where we have a lot of influence, right? In that area he is a "hero", not a terrorist, outlaw or ne'er do well. Given that situation as well as there not being extradition treaties with those countries, how exactly did you figure to go get him. Offer him a trip to Disneyworld maybe?

I assume you do understand that staging a military mission to take or kill him would be tantamount to a declaration of war. That would be kind of ungood.

A "hit" by the alphabet agency of your choice would possibly also trip that trigger.

Lastly you do remember it took several years to get osama and he was in an area that we did have the option to run military operations. Even then the Pakistanis did throw a fit and they were nominally a "friendly country" to us.

Leaders from whatever country that sponsored him should be afraid. Very afraid.

We keep the current bad guys around so we can call them bad guys and target our anger at them when they feel it's appropriate..

Otherwise we could just kill them outright and immediately but that would go against our neverending war policies..

 He was a combat leader know to the public. Cruise missile or vehicle bomb would have worked just fine. We should fear his death would make them angry after they killed the marines?
 Osama Bin Laden was killed by us in Pakistan.
 General Soleimani was killed by us in Irag
 Nasrallah was killed in Lebanon by Idf
 Keeping these men alive perpetuates the endless war.

after thought why has Iranian leader gone into hiding?

eh... they didn't advertise their disgust with us.  They only acted friendly on the surface because we were sending them billions.  Pakistan is second only to Iran regarding the bad stuff that goes on over there.

War was declared when they killed our troops.

Not enough... By all means.
 It supplies major civilised world enemies and major powers look on it like nothing.

Seriously. Iran via its proxy shut down major economical route and nobody gives a damn.

Look, for the last year IDF/IAF did more damage to Huthis than all the western world combined with all its might, aircraft carriers, billions of budget etc. And IDF already stretches its forces to at least 3 fronts.
