The same U.S. Navy SEAL unit that killed Osama bin Laden parachuted into Somalia under cover of darkness early Wednesday and crept up to an outdoor camp where an American woman and Danish man were being held hostage. Soon, nine kidnappers were dead and both hostages were freed.

I have to say. I give Obama MAJOR props for allowing these operations to happen.. Under him we have seen the Somalia sniper on water, Osama toasted, this and I am sure many more...

I agree with you. Obama gets all the credit in the world for giving the okay for these operations.

Hey, that was a very brave thing of him to do. He could have stubbed his toe on his desk or something as those men were risking their lives to carry out these operations.

Come on now.. A decision like this that could in fact possibly cause the death of a hostage. That is a real outcome and one that would be difficult to make.

Yes I believe Seal Team 6 are bad ass but lets not remember that such decision can come back horribly wrong and have life altering outcomes. Think if this had gone wrong how the media would be in a frenzy over this and just after the STOTU..


Yes, he sits at a desk and gives the green-light. Truthfully I never expected him to be this proactive in these type of things.. I assumed he would of taken the more "peacful" approach via negotiations etc.. The fact he has not taken that approach to me gives reason to give him props...

These Seals seem pretty bad ass. I wonder if theirs a chance to take prisoners or not.

I voted for Obama and may do so one more time this year, but to hand him any credit at all for giving the okay to the SEALs get Bin Laden is absolutely ridiculous. In giving the okay for that operation, he did what any other President would have done, what IPU would have done, what dabrockster would have done and what I would have done given the chance.

I'm guessing no.. Behind enemy lines and in such cases I think shoot to kill is probably the MO..

Take the Bin Laden out of the equation... Of course that is a no brainer..

Hopefully there was.

They took 3 captive.

pretty amazing stuff. i've been looking to find a good book on seal team 6; anybody read one?

[wally]

I feel bad for the Delta Force. This Seal Team 6 is getting all sorts of cool missions and credit in the media. Deltas are fast becoming red-headed special forces stepchildren.

How do you think Green Berets and Army Rangers feel?
