The fact that we even know anything about any Seal mission is an impeachable offense.

The hypocrisy of the Left (in making a huge deal out of Valerie Plame and beating their chests when Scooter Libby got convicted of a procedural violation while Richard Armitage, who actually made the leak, was not even questioned) is staggering.

And why did we have to put our men in harms way when drones could have done the job? It’s not like King Obunga gives a flip about collateral damage.

They also apparently called the Somalis to inform them of the impending raid. The lives of SEALS do not matter, only their political utility.

Military golf courses do not operate with public funds, why should they be closed? Neither does the WWII Memorial, the National Parks, and the Ocean - only government employees and government facilities require government funding and many remain open because they are performing useful political purposes.

This is hussein’s variety of islamism against other islamists not dancing to his tune. It’s a disgrace that he uses our special ops forces to undermine the United States toward the further installment of sharia in the West.

Look at what Kerry said. He’s taking credit for this. Plus, he’s daring them to hit us again. OK. But he better damn well be sure they’ve anticipated and prepared for every possible attack. You don’t poke a man-killing tiger with a stick, you shoot it.

We are still screwing around in Somalia. Thanks, Bill Clinton. Fight to win or stay the hell out. Four more dead in Afghanistan today. In a war that President Pee Wee Herman said he’d get us out of five years ago. No big loss to him. But, I guarantee you, for four families, the sky just went black.

>>what the sh**. why is this in the news?

Welcome fans, to the “Your NSA Dollars at Work” show, breought to you by the YLINP- Your Life is now Public Network. Thrill to sound of splintering wood as commandos drive their APC through Joe Sixpack’s front door, shriek with laughter as Fluffy the family dog’s brains hit the cupboard, Ooh and ahh when the evidence takers hold up the incriminating desktop, the laptop, the cell phones, the DVD player and the family flat panel screen and BB gun for all to see...

We have too many 'chatty Kathys' in the 0bama regime. Literally. Marxocrats do not understand discipline, honor, and adherence to req'ts of their security clearances. Their need to feel important by divulging classified information trumps everything.

Unlike in Afghanistan on a CH-47 helicopter on Aug. 06, 2011, Perhaps the SEALs realized they had been sent to their deaths so they pulled out.

Gosh, what a flaming faggot - in his little cheerleader shoes. WTF is that?

It's like Barry leaves no stone unturned in making his presidency the most hellish nightmare imaginable - right down to his choice in footwear. Even that is beyond infuriating.

I can't take it anymore.

This isn’t reporting a planned future mission, this is reporting after an event happens and the news that is generated by it.

The world press is not going to squelch such news stories.

These “officials” spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the raid publicly, but did it anyway. With apparently no repercussions.

But the regime and their media can keep their mouths locked up about Fast and Furious, IRS targeting practices, Obama’s life history, obamacare, and on and on.

Because Barry’s poll numbers are taking a big hit. He needs to catch a terrorist.
