While the petulant children of congress play their little games, I am glad that someone in the government is taking care of what needs taking care of.

Too bad Tom Clancy missed it. Lets hope the $5 million for the Libyan goes toward the deficit. My question is: If the SEALs can snipe pirates at sea ( a la Tom Hanks) and land on the shores of Somalia how are there any pirates; we would seem to have it generally zeroed in. But it does give the pause to our backdown over Syria, seen as wobbling by our Arab allies and Middle Eastern fencesitters, that we ARE more than capable of striking at will.

The Old Man of the Mountain (of the original assassins) would be green with envy. Saladin was one of his targets.

Alright! They came back and fixed it! They're even better than I thought!

Why is it funny?

eddie · 10-05-13, 10:56 PM

I didn't mean it as being comical, I guess I should have said"That's weird, it opens up fine for me"

Jimbuna · 10-06-13, 05:05 AM

Two good results...these buggers should realise there is no secure hiding place once their whereabouts are discovered.

My apologies. I knew exactly what you meant. I was just teasin'

REALLY !!!

"The Somali raid was carried out by members of SEAL Team Six, the same unit that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in his Pakistan hideout in 2011, another senior U.S. military official said told The Associated Press."

cant they ever learn to keep their fat mouths closed!

I don't need to know who did it so just say it was an elite seal team and leave it at that, why are you telling us it was this exact team for the terrorists to know who to target for revenge? and yes I know designations change so its not always the same people but you are making anyone labeled with that team designation as target number 1 for terrorists.

does anyone in this government ever think about what they are saying and how helpful it can be to our enemies?

this is the exact reason seal team 6 was targeted and some members killed after bin laden raid, because some moron went and say the name of the exact team who did it

eddie · 10-08-13, 12:27 PM

I don't know why they do that either, makes no sense!

Platapus · 10-08-13, 01:29 PM

It could also be that "SEAL team 6" is the only recognizable designation the press knows about. I would not be surprised that pretty much everything the SEALs do is attributed to "SEAL team 6".

Which is interesting, especially since SEAL team 6 has not existed since 1987, but what does the press know.

I think the other SEAL teams prefer "SEAL team 6" get all the publicity.

Stealhead · 10-08-13, 02:43 PM

That is the idea there is no "Seal Team Six" except on the TV news.

Just as there is "Delta Force" but there are guys that the most skilled and most intelligent elite out there
that you do not want to encounter during business hours.

DEVGRU are not all SEALS either some are Navy EOD others are working dog handlers and others are crypto.

Of course back in Vietnam the CIA had the Special Operations Group which was comprised of the most the most elite.I am sure
that something similar still exists.

The "targeting" Webester refers to is untrue.What happened is a US.Army MH-47 which has a distinctive appearance was shot down and it just so happened to have several members of DEVGRU inside and they got killed along with the crew of the MH-47.The attackers had no idea who was in that aircraft beyond the fact that such aircraft are used by elite forces making it a most high value target it just so happened that some men had been on the Bin Laden raid.It would be impossible without an inside mole for anyone to find out who is in these elite units.

The "targeting" is just another interwebs conspiracy and is a factual as school girl gossip.
