Geronimo Case Study

Persuasive Essay
Purpose The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate an understanding how to
write a persuasive essay and the application of APA 7th ed. guidelines.
Topic
You will develop a five-paragraph style persuasive essay on the Operation
Geronimo Case Study.
Operation Geronimo refers to the military operation that resulted in the killing of Osama bin Laden, the leader of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda, on May 2, 2011. The operation was conducted by the United States Navy SEALs, a special operations force of the United States Navy, and was named after the Native American leader Geronimo, who was known for his resistance to colonization and resistance to the U.S. government’s efforts to force Native Americans onto reservations.

The operation took place in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where bin Laden had been hiding in a compound. The SEALs raided the compound and killed bin Laden in a firefight. The operation was a major success for the U.S. government and was considered a significant blow to the Al-Qaeda organization. It was widely praised by the international community and was seen as a victory in the global fight against terrorism.
You will choose from either one of these two sides to
persuade the reader:
• “President Obama had the legal authority to order Operation Geronimo and to execute the plan,”
or,
• “President Obama did not have the legal authority to order Operation
Geronimo and to execute the plan.”
