A mental exercise for you

Input data:

4 helicopters landed in Beirut suburb under the cover of darkness. A team of Israeli soldiers from the "Sayeret matkal" emerged. They've penetrated a very well guarded building, and after 40 minutes of firefight left with the corpse of Hassan Nasrallah. After DNA testing the corpse was positively identified on board and then, "in full accordance with Islamic tradition", thrown into the Mediterranean Sea. Together with Nasrallah another three men were killed, as well as his 148th wife that tried to protect him with her body.

Bibi, Barak and Sarah watched the scene broadcasted on TV screens from combat helmet cameras worn by the commandos.

Late in the evening Bibi appeared on all channels and announced another victory of world democracy over terrorism.

A pretty good chunk of the actual inhabitants of thre world would be happy, but no official talking heads would admit it, not even in the US (outside of some impolitic Red State congressmen and governors).

Eay peasy.

Because I recently updated my browser to IE9, I couldn't post a comment until I pressed the Compatibility View button. Took me some time to figure it out *DONT_KNOW* .

It's "easy peasy", of course.

Hehehehehehe!

Will that do?

Heh. Any cheering would be muted, for sure. As for me, I'd want to know if the DNA "match" was direct or familial. ;)

This is a trick question right?

If you will it, it doesn't have to remain just a thought experiment ...

Uhu...

Yes, it comes through loud and clear.

IE9? Would the wonders ever cease?

SnoopyTheGoon said...

It will. Succinctly enough, too.

As the Arabic curse goes: too many fathers in this case ;)

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Sure. Us Elders is tricky...

SnoopyTheGoon said...

The thought is so seductive...

No doubt there would be all sorts of public condemation and private praise. Just like when Israel took out Saddam's A Bomb plant in 1981.

Yup.
