The good that can come out of this - Obama is seen for the lily-livered coward he is, and Hilary will be seen in all her PC-ness too. “We are saddened.” Oh, no, TEARS? That will really put the jihadis in their place.
What if Winston Churchill had said that? “The UK is saddened by Germany’s very mean and unwarranted carpet bombings of London.”
Gad, what fools.
In an older time, CIA SOG hunter-killer teams would be inbound to gather intel. Once collected they would begin their job descriptions. It is the only way to protect your embassy staff. It reminds me of back in the 80’s when Hezbullah terrorists were kidnapping embassy staff for ransom. They of course kidnapped many Americans. They then kidnapped a russian diplomat and sent the standard ransom demand letter. The KGB went into action and found out who the kidnappers were, and kidnapped the leader’s family. They then sent the kidnapper’s brother’s finger in their reply message and indicated a new part would be shipped daily until the diplomat was returned, which he was, within 24 hours. The Russians did not keep their end of the bargain entirely and killed all the male members of the kidnapper’s family.
Also, sending a Marine FAST team is kind of a poor response, unless the Marine expeditionary brigade is off shore and beginning to disembark or a brigade of Rangers are inbound. Although there would be a pile of dead bodies for each Marine, a FAST team is only 50 Marines. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot are the idiots at the Pentagon thinking endangering Marines in this manner?
