UK-Israel relations hit the rocks over Dubai assanation

[Barrister]

That was my take on it - the Brits are pissed because that is how they are supposed to react, but they darn well know that it happens, and likely know that British agents have used forged papers of other countries at varies times.

Wait a minute?  Are we not supposed to say Chinaman anymore when referring to Chinese people?

Just watched the movie again last weekend.

In Polish for example, the word for "Jews" and "Israelis" is the same.

This explains a lot.

The operation could have gone worse (if, say, the target had been suspicious or aware enough to shoot), but its difficult to see how they could have carried it out more sloppily except by failing to kill the guy.

I suspect your difficulty comes from ignorance.  If you actually knew anything about the topic, you could probably imagine many ways in which they could have carried it out more sloppily.

Don't feel bad about it - I don't know much about the topic, either.  However, I don't base any argument on the fact that I am too ignorant to imagine much in this scenario, and that would probably be a wise policy for you as well.

Yeah, it also means "subhuman," "devil-worshiper," "murderer of Christ," and "drinker of Christian children's blood."

When you have a language with a total vocabulary of only forty words (plus six grunts that carry specific meanings) you have to make each one go a long way.

Silly grumbler, you are talking to a Icelander, the last culture that needs an explanation on limited vocab.

Silly katmai, you assume I read his posts.

Doh!

Forgot about that.

Well, no, I doubt either of us are experts. However, we both have imaginations, we are both reasonably well read, and we are operating with a limited number of ways things could have gone worse if we stick with the way the Israelis seem to have planned it.

I could imagine many ways they could have carried it out more sloppily, but only if I go back to square one and plan the assassination to take place in a different location or by a different method. Even on the assumption that even the Israelis try to avoid mass murder (by blowing up the plane he was on, for example) I can come up with a worse scenario. For example, if they tried to eliminate him with a bomb, that blew up an innocent chamber maid by accident. Or a shooting attempt at a public cafe which hits bystanders and not the target. Or if they do try a shooting, the weapons are intercepted when they enter the country and the operation is rolled up from there.

Once they've picked the location and method they have, there's only one way I can see that it could have gone worse - if the target had been alert enough to put up sufficient of a struggle to compromise their physical escape, perhaps by injuring one of them sufficently that it caused suspicion on their exit, or by making a noise that raised the alarm. It's possible that prematurely alerted authorities might intercept them on the way out of the country even if nothing different happens in the room (if the body is discovered early, perhaps) but that seems fairly unlikely given how quickly they would have arranged to exit the country.

I am curious as to what happened to his bodyguards; I would have assumed he would have some given his position, unless he was trying to travel "under the radar."

Absolutist is an Icelander.
