Great job by a bunch of amazing men. I've had the honor of meeting several SEALs and former SEALs over the years and they are truly the cream of the crop when it comes to what they do. Very glad they all came home in one piece.
On the other hand, I am TOTALLY against using US Military personnel to go rescuing American (and especially foreign) civilians who are too stupid to stay out of harms way. Somalia is NOT a tourist destination or a safe place for Westerners to work. I would have to bet the US State Department probably suggests AGAINST US citizens traveling there for any reason. This woman chose to ignore that basic common sense. They should have let her rot.
Perfect example of a modern day conservative. But I do get the point and perhaps it does have some validity. But the message is lost when the messenger is such a <fill-in-the blank.>
I'm surprised the GOP didn't filibuster this decision too. That Obama is one bad-ass mo' fo'. (Actually, the S.E.A.L.'s are bad ass. Obama is merely their commander in chief.) I thank God that the GOP is fading away. Finally.
