U.S. special operations forces have rescued a kidnapped American aid worker and her Danish colleague in Somalia, U.S. officials said Wednesday. During the raid, all nine of their captors were killed.
Jessica Buchanan, 32, and Poul Hagen Thisted, 60, were abducted Oct. 25 by a group of armed men in the Somali town of Galkayo.

The whole of Afghanistan is not worth one drop of American blood.

Just the same, congratulations to our Special Ops. Job well done.
Did they pee on the dead captors?
Do you recall what Otto Von Bismark is supposed to have said?
“The whole of the Balkans is not worth the life of one Pomeranian grenadier!”
