Good one.
So they’ve been downgraded to…
Al ShaBillybaab
Sweet baby Jebus, why do the politicians have to leak those kind of details?? :mad:
How about not saying anything at all, and just let the murderous bastards wonder why they have not heard from their fellow child-killers for a while?
Cause in politics, you just have to look like you are doing somthing. To take credit.
Seals get you votes, ya know…
Politicians cannot keep their pie holes shut. We need a new set of politicians.
I guess you forgot that the politicians are the only federal employees still employed. Since there is no one available, one of our dedicated public servants stepped up to the plate to let us know what is going on??
They are so considerate thinking about us.

I know there’s a lot of consternation about the liberty of speech in the news.
Part of me wants to squash the nuts of he who lets the cat out of the bag, but part of me actually thinks it’s a good thing that AFTER the event, an announcement is made of who actually just jacked up your early morning prayer time. Regardless of official positions, these teams’ existence are not secret, Hollywood and politicians have seen to that. The names SEAL and Delta spark fear in our enemies.
Concur that the UBL thing was grossly mishandled, but as long as sources, intel, TTPs, and the teams are not compromised, I want to think it’s a good thing that the media relays the calling card once our boys are back safe, wherever that may be.
Sometimes its good for the bad guy just to disappear. Sometimes its good to let the other bag guys know what happened to the lead bad guy. In case they get any ideas.
It’s a pretty safe bet the booger-eaters can spell JSOC, if you spotted them a vowel. And it’s also a relatively safe bet that while it might have been the Army, it probably was not the Salvation Army that paid them a visit.
But honestly, this does not help our guys.
Heh point taken:D
Apparently some stuff was left behind in Somalia. Kind of surprised to see the 4.6 and MP7 mag.
Agreed. We should not have drawn any attention to this. Our guys should have been behind the scenes totally anonymously killing bad guys and exiting the scene. It should have been done similar to the way Los Pepes anonymously targeted and killed members of Pablo Escobar’s cartel.
An anonymous force acting in the shadows to hunt and kill Jihadis.
Instead the administration has to announce this and take claim for it. For political capital.
Win some, lose some…live to fight another day, etc.

They put the spoon on backwards on that DD when they set up the photo. Dummies.
And that’s not a bad thing, when you think about it. The thought of AQ types getting bad info regarding any kind of pyro sends me to my happy place. 
Remember the immortal words of JSantoro: “Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for one night. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.”
And if it had been a live frag, my Grinch heart would have grown three sizes that day!
No idea how reliable the source is, but supposedly how it went down for DevGru:
“The suspect was barricaded and heavily protected by armed men, and now children were intermingled among the fighters and in danger of dying. Then the whole town of Barawe began to erupt and more armed fighters were seen heading for Ikrima’s compound. Soon there would be fewer than two dozen Americans against hundreds of Somalis.”
Well, we know they wouldn’t consider our children and didn’t it at the mall for un armed civialns, so call in an air strike if plan A does not work out (as in this case), and be done with it. Suck fact is the BGs live another day to plan and carry out attacks on malls, etc full of other people’s children and other un armed civilians.
If you’re a warrior/soldier and you surround yourself with children, it’s on your head, not ours.
My armchair thought on it:
Try and do it clean via SEAL team to get intel etc, all good, but have plan B for air strike if that does not work as allowing such a target to live another day seems a bad idea to me and ultimately costs more lives. The flip side of that position is of course going to be, dropping a JDAM (or 10…) on the village is not likely to win the “hearts and minds” of the populace, but I think that ship sailed a long time ago personally.
Had the risk averse politicians not sent cruise missile vs. armed men (and supposedly they had turned back teams several times last minute en route to to just that) to visit Bin boy, it’s a very good chance 9/11 would not have happened.
Thoughts?
LOL!!! That is AWESOME…I seriously LOL’d on that one
I think this was the header for the subsection of the NDAA when dealing with “American citizen terrorists” lol.
It is so amazing to see the how effective the Globalist propaganda is, they are smart I’ll give them that.
Edit: let me get my “American World Police badge” on…“YA KILL THOSE MUSLIM BASTARDS!!! YAAAAAA, ARGH, ARGH, Sons a’ bitches, KILL’EM!!!..but please be secretive about it so they don’t retaliate”
America, In God We Trust ,and murder we must
Someone needs to STFU about these operations…How long until the movies come out?
you would have to convince the rest of the world that its OK to kill children who are intermingled with bad guys. good luck.
