Ambinder: No US forces killed or injured during 40 minute raid to get Bin Laden
Edited on Sun May-01-11 11:41 PM by TheWraith
Marc Ambinder just tweeted a summary of the raid to get Bin Laden: a 40 minute Joint Special Operations Command mission, consisting of two helicopters with a drone aircraft for support. The actual ground troops were Seal Team Six. Four people on the ground killed, including Bin Laden. No US casualties, though one of the choppers sustained some damage.

1. The pirate raid was merely practice.
Amazing. Our military is quite competent when given the chance to be. President Obama makes them look good and vice versa.

2. Planning and a well defined goal can do wonders.
Eliminate the pirates.

Capture or kill so and so.

Destroy X.

Not "Throw this person out of office and then let's see what happens."
