#1 Good points, but remember that Osama is the GWOT's equivalent of WW2's Yamamoto or Rommel, etc. Admiral Bull Halsey got Yamamoto, in part, becuz of his name recognition = myth among the Amer public as derived from Pearl Harbor - ditto now for Osama. Every known ship on the IJN Pearl Harbor strike force was targeted by the US Navy for destruction. As long as Osama and every other planner for 9-11 is left out there, Osama can attack again, and revenge for 9-11 and 3000 dead Amers, etal any new 9-11's, will be incomplete.

#2 JM:
"I really dont care if we never capture him."
I don't want him captured. The Yamamoto treatment is preferred to a long BS trial to be overturned by SCOTUS.

#4 I don't know--how difficult is to not have any principles or anything for which you stand? Except the god of political correctness and the support any enemy of the United States?

#5 Actually, it's when you indiscriminately harass a foreign country's populace that their will for war hardens (usually). Killing the military head of a unit usually demorlarizes the troops. W/today's 24 hr news cycle I'd prefer their death to a circus trial. Trials are for criminals, known terrorists deserve the sword and no quarter. You shoot them like you would a rabid dog and without fanfare.
