Jill Stein: ‘I would not have assassinated’ bin Laden

USAtoday: DES MOINES — Jill Stein, the Green Party’s candidate for president, said Sunday in Iowa that she would not have assassinated Osama bin Laden but would have brought him to justice for his role in the attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.

“I think assassinations … they’re against international law to start with and to that effect, I think I would not have assassinated Osama bin Laden but would have captured him and brought him to trial,” said Stein.

Bin Laden, the founder of al-Qaeda, was shot and killed by U.S. special forces during a raid at a residence in Pakistan in 2011. The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and a failed attack that downed a passenger jet in Pennsylvania, killed nearly 3,000 people. Today, tens of thousands of people have become ill and thousands have died from illnesses attributed to the attacks.

Stein made her comments in an interview before her first Iowa campaign appearance, a rally that attracted more than 150 on the grounds of the Iowa State Capitol. The organizer and several of the speakers were former national delegates of  Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. During the rally, Stein argued for a renewable energy and jobs program that she says would eliminate fossil fuel use in the U.S. by 2030.

She has called for deep cuts in military spending as a way to pay for domestic programs, including having the federal government assume $1.5 trillion in student debt.  During her rally remarks, she referred to both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as “war mongers.”

She said the 9/11 attacks “provided a pretext for the wrong wars, which have only gotten us into more trouble.” Stein said rather than go to war, she would take a “targeted” approach to tracking down terrorists and bringing them to justice for crimes against humanity.  MORE

  1. Is that what you would have done, Jill? Bless you heart. Would you have issued a stern warning not to crash that stealth helicopter, too? Those excitable special operators could have used a little more backseat driving, I’m sure.

  5. Jill Stein is a dirt eating, tree hugging druid. She’s run for damn near every office in Massachusetts and lost big every time. She’s practically called the conservative right in America Nazi’s, still she goes on and on just like the energizer rabbit. What the hell, the only votes she’s going to get are from disenchanted Democrats so more power to her.

  6. It would be a repeat performance of some Federal Leftist Judgiepoo releasing BinLaden after a few years and a slap-n-tickle, like Hinkley got just now. Free to kill again. Leftist judges are as bad as the terrorists they keep releasing on Americans.

  9. yes but what if it comes out during his trial the cia was involved?
    you know the cia, the strong arm of the central bankers, the drug smuggling branch of the central bank crime family. the enforcers.

    would you still go after them jill?

  16. Stupid bitch, you’d just risk more American servicemen’s lives trying to kidnap him and bring him to the U.S. for trial, then spend millions on a trial that would be great big MSM party. That’s exactly why you will never hold the office of the President. Now, when is your trial for defacing private property?
