Yeah that's right Joe. Jimmy Doolittle has nothing on you guys... :DL

Mixed on the use of 'assassination'. But what ever.

Doolittle is a good point, but for audacious military plans, this ones up there too.

500 years seems like such an arbatray number; I'm guessing there was some really amazing operation conducted during the War of the League of Cambrai... :hmmm:

I think the 500 year remark was nothing more than typical political hyperbole used by all politicians, sort of like "the greatest thing since sliced bread!"... :DL

And I think everyone here thinks exactly the same thing. :sunny:

Ok, I'll admit I had to Google "War of the League of Cambrai."

Let Joe have his moment, they don't let him out very often... :O:

Not to mention during the War of Jenkins Ear. :DL

Hrm, a little place called Son Tay comes to mind. :hmmm:

Yep, and in reference to Gargamels point about assassination we could also cite the Yamamoto shoot down. Those P-38 pilots had to turn their planes into flying gas cans to reach hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, fight through a strong Zero fighter escort over an enemy held island with no support and and no chance of rescue if they have to ditch or bail.

Pilot is a distant relative of mine.

You mean you were raised in a jungle...? :D

Biden's reaction
 

Looking at the pictures of POTUS courageously watching the live video in the Situation Room, I get this strong feeling that the pizza boxes were photo-shopped out.

I wonder if the SEALs had killed 25 guys in a row with no loss, whether Obama would have used a nuclear strike. :03:

:haha:

Biden's sense of history involves little more than the Secret Service remind him that he's the Vice President, and that it's kinda a big deal, but not really.
