I would be very pleased to see more of these terrorists sent on their way to The World of Seventy-Two Virgins—or, as the news story puts it (quoting one of the terrorists), “martyred”...

This picture just came in. The picture was taken just before the missiles struck.

I’m curious if they weren’t sent to snatch someone. If the goal was to kill them, a missile launch from an aircraft or ships would have been easier.

Marines aren’t spec-ops, do you mean ex Marines that served in Marine spec-ops units?

Yup, and we lost another member of NATO in southern Helmand in a green on blue.

Cleaning out a nest of pirates. Excellent. I hope every boat in the harbor now lies at the bottom.

A major reason the Somalis turned to piracy was that when their government collapsed fleets of fishing boats from places like China and The Philippines cleaned out Somalia's territorial waters leaving the locals starving.

My bet is the place and everybody in it has been wiped out.

Let's hope so.

The Fearless Sea Scouts of the Somali Environmental Protection Sustainable Fishing Department strike again, eh?

Fairly complete Lefty-Wing Hosshiite. The big boats of the Somali fishing fleet are now the motherships for piratical operations. The money is better in piracy until the Euro-Weenies get really angry.

Great opportunity for armed tourism.

Guess I wasn’t clear. The executive rescue teams are mainly made up of:

1. Former spec-ops.

2. Ranger veterans.

3. Marine veterans.

Can also throw in pilots, both rotor and fixed wing. In-country operatives are utilized too.

There, I’ve completely exhausted my meager knowledge of executive rescue. Oh, it’s fairly cheap to buy an executive rescue policy. If you believe that Maoists or Mau-Maus are stalking you, call your local insurance agent today. No, I don’t sell insurance.

Pinprick attacks are the standard for Republicans and Democrats since World War 2.

We don’t fight wars to win anymore. whether the “Cold War” or the “War on Terrorism”.
