Good God, wow.

One case where we really got what we paid for.

NYT times author:

"A T-72 tank weighs 50 tons"

WHAT A LOAD..!

[kiryandil]

Good thing we didn’t have a drunken powerful, beautiful, nurturing and honest [PBNH] crippled woman president...

[Chauncey Gardiner]

NYT reports late; other media silent but hey, we’ve got a porn star to report on!

[steel_resolve]

Want some, get some.

[Skooz]

Reaper drones, F-22 stealth fighter jets, F-15E Strike Fighters, B-52 bombers, AC-130 gunships and AH-64 Apache helicopters.

Holy $&*% !!!

No mention of the problem it’s not lawful for US troops to be in Syria.

[bkopto]

So remind me: what are the strategic interests of the US in Syria, and why are we wasting taxpayer money and US lives there?

[Enterprise]

Holy crapski. We come for oil, Americans had Baba Yaga as ally.

[laweeks]

WUZ DEY PLAIN’ GOFF? DID ANYONE AXE DEM?

[Bikkuri]

To begin with... “Comandos” is a British term.. NYSlimes need to get that straight..

Next, who is trying to start the “Cold War”! again?

And, (obviously, journoLISTS) fail to understand that, of COURSE, no lights (half lights) is very normal for anyone that is under the threat of taking fire/bombarment.. just like when we stop to check coordinates, the lights are red, so that we a difficult to spot :p

If Hillary was CIC, we would have had another Benghazi, but on a much larger scale. She would never have authorized the kind of response Mad Dog did. Then she would have lied about it and blamed everyone else.

[null and void]

"When that failed, American troops fired warning shots at a group of vehicles and a howitzer."

Warning shots??? I think I see a problem.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

More collusion with Trump. /s

[Sam Gamgee]

Who at the NYT authorized an article highlighting an American success?

Glad the US kicked some rear end, and will this now shut up the Russian collusion people?

[Billthedrill]

The outcome of the battle, and much of its mechanics, suggest that the Russian mercenaries and their Syrian allies were in the wrong part of the world to try a simple, massed assault on an American military position.

Well, yeah, I'll go out on a limb here and suggest that a score of 2-300 to zip might indicate that a little tactical refinement is necessary.

[donozark]

Outcome considerably different than Benghazi...

[tired&retired]

When was this event?

[tired&retired]

The details of the Feb. 7 firefight were gleaned from interviews and documents newly obtained by The New York Times. They provide the Pentagon’s first public on-the-ground accounting of one of the single bloodiest battles the American military has faced in Syria since deploying to fight the Islamic State.
