I read on one of the "Milblogs" that the Seal Team parachuted onto the Bainbridge at night about 3 days after Phillips was taken hostage.

Gee, imagine that. I said it could have taken three days to get the SEAL team there. I was savagely attacked. If that is true, then it did take three days. I cheerfully admit I was estimating. But everyone told me how stupid I was and that the SEALs would have been there early on when the the escape attempt happened and were held back. Turns out they were not there, but I don't expect the FR armchair general squadron to retract some of their attacks against me.

You said they were not there because they needed to get their act together. I called BS on you and still do. You still have no idea the time between the SEALs having been given mission orders and their arrival.
