The SEALs are stationed in that part of the world and could have been there within hours. The fact of when they showed is of no blame of theirs. It was simply when they were ordered to be there. See ya chump.

I am not blaming the SEALs. Another strawman.

And you slither off without any admission that your side was partially wrong. You have no idea about the underlying decision/transit process. I at least admit I was speculating - and entirely to provide a counter argument to a poster long gone from this thread that the SEALs could have acted within the first few hours of the crisis.

Why do you feel the need to disparage the SEALs? Were they getting to much attention for your liking? Are you some kind of Gen-Xer who has to be the center of attention? Maybe no one gave you attention for being on FR posting while they were working?

Try manning up and joining the military and getting a real education about such things instead of hanging out on the Internet talking speculation with a bunch of other wannabees.

The fact remains, the military can place special operations units anywhere on Earth within 24 hours and in most cases within 12 or less. It is what they train to do. Your assertion based on Internet chat rooms, TV, and movies that they need days to plan spotlights your ignorance of the subject.
