Great job.

I remember back when the United States had a president, and we could do operations like this.

Good job is right. And I'm sure the Brits used an appropriate vehicle for the rescue. I'm still embarrassed that we sent a catamaran and India sent in a cruise ship. Geez.

C-130s will land just about anywhere.

So does the U.S. still have any people in Libya? If we do then we may have to depend on the Brits to get them out, seeing as how they seem to know more about rescues than whoever chartered that ferryboat we used.

Good old C-130. A true workhorse.

Hussein Traitor Obama doesn’t like the British very much and it’s because of things like this-—protecting one’s citizens and their property.

Good Show? Did the Brits also get the Lockerbie mass murderer they sent back to Libya recently?

Our dad flew this plane for many years. On his way home to Travis Air Force Base he would fly over our home and gun the engines back-and-forth. We would hear this and all us seven kids would run out into the front yard and wave to daddy. Two hours later, just like clockwork, he would drive up and we jumped for joy. We made our highest jump of joy when he returned from Vietnam. There is a common thread in many Freep posts “where do we find such men.” We had the privilege of growing up as the sons and daughters of one such man. He survived WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, and came home each time, thanks to the Lord and some good Irish luck. He had a drawer full of Medals, but the only time he would put them on his uniform was when his CO (Commanding Officer) would order him. He loved those C-130’s, they were tough and could land almost anywhere.

I wonder if the Brits have enough sympathy for their poorly led former colony that they will rescue stranded Americans too. It’s sad that we have dropped behind them as a world power, but that’s the choice that the parasites, the dead voters, and the fictional constituents made back in 2008.
