VP Joe Biden will be holding a press conference later and will provide names, photos and home addresses of the Team members. "Fake but accurate"®

Terrorists seem to like that town, a couple of years from now, another terrorist leader will undoubtedly be killed near this town.

why not simply destroy the town and everything and everyone in it?

I will agree that DC needs to be fumigated, but destroyed — not just yet.

Why in the hell weren’t the helicopters called in to launch a couple of dozen missiles at the house?

Sounds like a great training facility for Ohio class submarine transported SEALS who can do some good while keeping their skills honed. If all the dirtbagz enjoy having the upscale seaside villa as a crash pad then why not leave it so we know where we can find them? Or melt it down-—I’m not locked in to either way.

good point about knowing where terrorists like to hang out.
I did not think about it in that context.

thanks.

My guess is that they wanted to snatch someone, otherwise a couple of bombs or missiles could have been used if they were looking to kill them.

Wait, it’s not too late for plan B.

Very cool. Good for our guys. But why wasn’t it the target for a B-52 and a full load? There’s no need to fight rifle to rifle and expose our men to that kind of danger.

Another great effort by the SEALS, but we should not be releasing info through the NY Times.
