Title: U.S. Forces Rescue Two Hostages From Somali Pirates Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on January 25, 2012, 04:24:52 PM http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/26/world/africa/us-raid-frees-2-hostages-from-somali-pirates.html
God Bless our military! Quote KHARTOUM, Sudan — American Navy Seals swooped into Somalia early on Wednesday and rescued two aid workers, an American woman and a Danish man, after a shootout with Somali gunmen who had been holding them captive in a sweltering desert hideout for months. Under a cloak of darkness, a couple of dozen Seals parachuted in, stormed the hideout, killed nine gunmen and then whisked the aid workers into waiting helicopters, Pentagon officials said. The Seals were from the same elite Navy commando unit — Seal Team Six that secretly entered Pakistan to kill Osama Bin Laden in May, senior American officials said, though the rescue mission in Somalia was carried out by a different assault team within the unit.

This one I have no faith in at all, so I just click the page off and move on. RTR!

British Actor Peter O'Tool. Khartoum was under siege. O'Tool sent his messenger out to get help. The villians holding the siege sent a box back to O'Tool. He opened the box and it was his messenger's hand. Tough place.

After reading what REALLY happened during "Geronimo" ( by some one who was there but has since retired) If I were the POTUS' brother I would still vote for the other guy. |
