A U.S. special operations team of Navy SEALs rescued two aid workers in Somalia Tuesday night, including a U.S. woman who had been held hostage for three months by Somali kidnappers and suffered from a life-threatening medical condition.
Jessica Buchanan, 32, of Bedford, Va., and Poul Hagen Thisted, 60, of Denmark, were abducted Oct. 25 by a band of Somalis while on their way to the airport in Galcayo, located in central Somalia. Both were working for the Danish Refugee Council's Danish Demining Group, and had just finished a training course for local Somali citizens when they were abducted.
In a statement released by the White House, President Obama said he had authorized a rescue mission Monday.
"Thanks to the extraordinary courage and capabilities of our Special Operations Forces, yesterday Jessica Buchanan was rescued and she is on her way home. As Commander-in-Chief, I could not be prouder of the troops who carried out this mission, and the dedicated professionals who supported their efforts," Obama said in the statement.

Light ‘em on fire first... THEN you can piss on ‘em.
“Killed all nine kidnappers.”
Well, they’re in deep doo doo now. Some of those kidnappers were probably relatives of the chosen one.

So, the SEALS sprayed them with lead, but not urine. I'm so relieved. [/s]
Whoever is assigned to take on the combined Special Operations and intelligence community and murder must be quite a powerful organization.
Where do they recruit their operators, where do they train them, how do they turn them against their former Green Berets, SEALS, Rangers, CIA, military Intelligence and all the other parts of SOCOM that they must have come from, and how do they hide from them, escape them, do you really think that a rogue intelligence, and Special Operations assassination group was created by Obama to murder the Intelligence and Special Operations members?
What do you think will happen when our Special Operations pros figure out that the US Govt is murdering them?
America returns...taking out the anti-American opposition.
Your conspiracy is idiotic, see post 25.
Tell that to the Seals families who were shot down after the “demise” on bin laden.
Since the Navy and Army, and Air Force personell who were among the Americans were already part of the secret, Special Operations/Intelligence community, I know that their families would be mocking you as an idiot for thinking that they are the fish rather than the sharks.
Think a little bit about your fantasy.
My fantasy? That fantasy about the Seals being killed after the bin kill? That one?
Well that explains how cloudy your mind is.
Someone points out how ridiculous your conspiracy fantasy is of Obama somehow creating, training, and managing, an assassination force to murder members of our governments Commando/Intelligence elites, and you think that he is denying the battle deaths from that helicopter shot down in Afghanistan.
Blah blah blah. That is what I hear when you speak.
Please, stop speaking to me.
Please stop attacking our Special operations community as both victims and murderers of each other in some secret Obama struggle.
