Some of the Islamic State fighters hid behind women, using them as human shields. The U.S. troops had to “literally shoot around” the human shields to kill the fighters,...

Real tough guys until braver men show up, then they cower and run like the vermin they are.

It is great to hear the Delta Force is still around.

[Delta 21]

As long as we dont put “boots on the ground”.

[Farmer Dean]

Delta force is real good at hand to hand combat.They may even prefer it.

About the only thing I don’t like about this is the White House emphasizing that Obama “freed the slaves”, the enslaved Yazidhi woman.

Not that he cared all that much about them while they were being enslaved.

[Chickensoup]

shoot through them, for Pete’s sake. These women are NOT your friends.

[P-Marlowe]

Isn’t this the kind of mission that is supposed to be under the radar?

Somebody decided to brag up the results. My guess is that it was leaked to make Obama look like a hero.

Now everyone on the planet knows we have special forces in Syria. Now they will be on the lookout.

Muslims

[Lorianne]

Oh wonderful. We’re over there doing the Muslims dirty work for them ... again.

Yeah!

Remember back in 2012 when that great military historian and strategist, Barack Obama, pointed out how bayonets were an anachronism?

“We also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military’s changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines.”

Then Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling decided to eliminate bayonet traininbg for the army.

Some of the Islamic State fighters hid behind women, using them as human shields.

America's enemies will always jump at the chance to use women and children as human shields.

That's ALL enemies; foreign AND domestic.

La Raza, black hate groups, the Homo Mafia, labor unions, etc.

They all do it.

Whew, just in time, a story to detract from Seymour Hersch’s account of the BinLaden raid and restore Obama’s manhood. I didn’t believe Hersch’s story until this convenient story of hand-to-hand combat, which absolutely did not come from Delta Force.

[Bluestocking]

Just a few months ago, we were supposed to have killed another ISIS leader, this one in Iraq. But ISIS has come back stronger than ever since then; just yesterday it took over the critical city of Ramadi.

And a few years ago, we killed the top leader of al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, and yet since that time jihadi terrorism has exploded.

So while the media is cheering and Obama is bragging and the dead ISIS leader’s wife is in American custody, what can we expect from ISIS except an escalation of fury against the U.S.?

[steel_resolve]

Why the move on him now? Was Abu Sayyaf going to publicly disclose his donations to the Clinton Foundation or something?

[VerySadAmerican]

Shoot the hostage.

[DaxtonBrown]

Hand to Hand? Doesn’t that call for women?

This is a old high school friend of mine Ret. Col Pete Blaber Delta Force. He's written a book called "The Mission, The Men, And Me, Lessons from a former Delta Force Commander" He's actually one of the funnies guys I grew up with. I lived in Southern California for about 18 years and Pete now lives there so we use to get together for dinner quite a few times. Great guy. He planned Operation Anaconda and the bombing of Tora Bora. He's also the one who came up with the idea of following the courier which led to the killing of Osama bin laden. That's how he knew bin Laden was in Tora Bora back in 2001. And he bombed the sh!t out of it.
