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

    Imminent IS a factor in justifying the taking out of a terrorist.

  4. 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 think just being a "terrorist" is justification, no need for
    "imminent". That's what he meant.

    edit: just saw the above

    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!

    Not!
    Opportunity against an identified terrorist is justification enough.

  8. 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.
