“”they’re trained Yemeni special forces arriving in helicopters.””

There was an interesting segment on FOX yesterday with the Captain of the USS Cole... I wondered why the attack reported a week ago by the Yemenis on a ship THOUGHT to be Israeli wasn’t met with armed men aboard the ship. I always wondered the same thing about the USS Cole. This thread explains the missing information. If it was covered in the interview with the Captain of the USS Cole, I sure didn’t hear it.

Still need the US out of the UN - UN out of the US....I bet all those leeches have armed security...

I remember reading in John O’Neill’s book “The Man Who Warned America”, when the FBI was sent to investigate the USS Cole attack, they were not allowed to carry weapons in Yemen with the law laid down by the female US Ambassador at the time - whose name I’ve forgotten but she had no problem moving further up in her career...

John later was working for the FBI in NYC and was assigned to the World Trade Tower and died on 9/11/01...last seen directing others out of the building. If I recall correctly, it was his first day on that job.

By 1970 VN boats never approached a Navy ship. Using a .50 cal to chop a couple into firewood had deterred them.
