How does he figure that the US bailed them out?
I don't recall any US ships or planes joining the task
force nore were any US troops involved. It was Royal Marines, the Paras, and the RN.

It was Royal Marines, the Paras, and the RN.True. But the task would have been much longer and bloodier were it not for US intelligence assets, especially spy satellite coverage.
