This world just got a little better and hell a little hotter

Some Hamas "military commander" (aka a terrorist) named Mahmoud al Mabhouh was killed in Dubai on January 20th. So far so good. Dubai police suspect that the Israeli Mossad was responsible for Mabhouh's death. That's even Better.

Allegedly a couple dozen Mossad guys and gals checked into the same hotel in Dubai as Mabhouh, staked him out and, after sedating him, suffocated him with his hotel pillow. This would be perfect as long as sedation wasn't so deep that Mabhouh didn't spend the last minutes of life experiencing the same feeling of terror and helplessness that he inflicted upon hundreds of others for so many years.

But there is some kind of international brouhaha over the death of this piece of human garbage because the agents allegedly used English, French and Australian passports. Seems use of an Israeli passport might have tipped officials in Dubai off that something was up - besides they don't allow anyone with even an Israeli stamp in their passport to enter the country let alone producing a full fledged Israeli passport at customs.

The Israelis are using the Bart Simpson defense - i.e. I didn't do it. Nobody saw me. You can't prove it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. This seems a reasonable approach to me. It puts Hamas on notice that yes the Mossad can reach out and touch you anywhere. The faux outrage from the English, french and Australians can be weathered as long as the "secretary can disavow any knowledge of the teams activities."

Some Lib moralists in this country and abroad condemn the death of this terrorist. They claim that the Mossad is acting like judge, jury, prosecutor and hangman. When it comes to terroists, I'm fine with that. But, how are the actions of the Mossad - if they did it - any different than the actions of their own hero - Dear Duffus? Can't the same argument be used when the Grand Dope authorizes a drone strike on some unsuspecting Taliban scum bag? The big difference is that Mossad (allegedly) killed the target without blowing up a building and without any collateral human damage.

To the Mossad (Allegedly): Well done. In the future be aware CCTV cameras everywhere.
To Mabhouh: Good riddance. It just got little hotter in hell.
To the English, French and Australians: I understand the public outrage about the use of your passports. I hope privately you sent the Israeli PM a note of congrats on an operation to rid the world of one more terrorist.

Jews, Germany, Neville Chamberlain, and 1939. Israel, Iran, Obama-Holder-Hillary, and 2010.

The right of survival goes to Israel. They are and will continue to exercise it.

Obama-Holder-Hillary are playing games and are less relevant as each day passes. Israel will not wait much longer.
