Pure political announcement playing to a domestic audience. This should never have been revealed publicly.

In fact it was so secret, the guys on the mission didn't even know about it.
They AND Obama are just now finding out about it -- from CNN.

There was no attempted rescue because no one knew where they were.

CNN back to Ferguson riots coverage.

Why is this word of this failed mission being leaked? Oh, that’s right, to EMBARRASS the United States. Thanks, Hussein.
To: McGruff
U.S. military launched a secret mission earlier this summer to rescue a number of Americans held captive by militants in Syria but failed to find them. ==
Yeah, that inept US Military, ...
they failed.
I (bo) tried, but the military failed.

Lookup SON TAY raid or Operation Ivory Coast
November 1970 Special Forces under Col Bull Simmons
hit a prison camp near Hanoi to free 61 POW
POW had been moved shortly before
Special Forces killed all NVA at camp along with couple
dozen unknown non NVA at nearby location called secondary school (Chinese or Russians????)

...and the information is being released because Obammy is such a great military leader and needs to announce it to the world
The Spec Ops guys and the remaining hostages take another one for the Marxist punk.

One thing he can not say (with a straight face) is we do not negotiate with terrorists. He released 5 high value GITMO prisoners for a deserter.
To: Scrambler Bob
Isn’t revealing top secret plans(even after the fact) a crime?
What the hell??
To: McGruff; All
Be prepared for 2-1/2 more years of foreign policy failure after foreign policy failure after foreign policy failure. Couple that with “divide and govern” domestic policy, shows that “free” people are under attack from enemies, foreign and domestic.

Now I'm really pissed off.
It seems that there are more Americans held by ISIS, some of whom ISIS claims are American Special Forces or ex Special Forces contractors
If that is the case, why did Obama not trade the 5 Gitmo big shots for them instead of for Bergdahl, a deserter and Jihadi collaborator.
