A U.S. military official said the raid by special forces targeted the foreign fighter network that travels through Syria into Iraq. The Americans have been unable to shut the network down in the area because Syria was out of the military’s reach.

‘’We are taking matters into our own hands,’’ the official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the political sensitivity of cross-border raids.

The attack came just days after the commander of U.S. forces in western Iraq said American troops were redoubling efforts to secure the Syrian border, which he called an ‘’uncontrolled’’ gateway for fighters entering Iraq.”

The Bush Doctrine in action.

Way too little. Way too late.

“Question is...What would Obama have done?”

Pulled out of Iraq, hence no raid on Syrian soil.

From the Times story:

*-****************************EXCERPT***************************

Iraqi travelers making their way home across the border reported hearing many explosions, said Farhan al-Mahalawi, mayor of Qaim.

So there was something they were building that we thought needed removing....

“Question is...What would Obama have done?”

Obama and the other Demagogues would not have gone after the terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, and worldwide. We would have had several more terrorist attacks here in the U.S. by now. Our economy would have come to a standstill, with 20% or more unemployed. Our current financial crisis would be “mild” compared to the impact of just one more 9/11.

Obama and the rest of the Demo Socialists are allies of the terrorists. Biden said the surge would never work. Biden wanted to split Iraq in three parts, based on religion and ethnicity. Obama and his Demo Socialists would destroy freedom, capitalism, and the U.S. Constitution.

'and that due to Syrian inaction the US was now "taking matters into our own hands."
It really is about time our guys started to perform these type operations. Starting back in 2004 Powell had the promise of the little lions key generals that they would not allow their borders to become a crossing ground for jihadist. They have not did much in preventing thousands of goons to cross over the past five years.
