And one of those consequences is that the Taliban are using the fake CIA vaccination programme as justification for murdering UN polio vaccination aid workers.
He blamed the CIA, who are definitely not "the victims".
You also don't have to blame either the CIA or the Taliban, you can blame both.
This was a pretty foreseeable consequence of their actions, and acting like they bear absolutely no responsibility for the consequences is, at best, strange.
If we had defeated the Taliban with indiscriminate use of fuel-air explosives or WMDs that destroyed entire villages full of noncombatants, would you still be riding your high horse?
In this case it's even worse because I'm sure they did consider the consequences and went ahead anyway.
They had pretty high levels of proof without the DNA. The DNA was political ass-covering. Personally, I think they would have been better off going in, attacking a compound which had high assessment of being UBL's, potentially killing a couple of people if they were armed security and resisting (but, if it wasn't UBL, it's unlikely), and accepting the political fallout, vs. subverting the independence of the vaccine program.
Killing Osama is great, but eradicating polio may ultimately be more important long-term.
It's amazing what we can do when we don't have to consider the consequences.
