Totally tragic with no happy ending.
Talk about about a waste of a good man for a worthless POS!!! ANY NYT reporter[sic] should be on notice that if detained by a friend/source or group of friends/sources in the Taliban, Al Quaida or other rag-head group, depend on the HNIC (the N refers to Narcissist) for his release and certainly not members of the SAS, Seals, Marine Recon, etc. Maybe, Michelle “Big Arms” Obama will fly in for the rescue between dates in the Big Apple.
Was it worth his life to rescue a Timesman from his folly? Now, that's debatable. But actually there were two men kidnapped, including the Afghan driver, who was also killed.
Pres. Obama and co. are going to have to start listening to McChrystal very closely, and then implementing successfully. The Taliban and their loathesome friends started all this, from camps in Afghanistan. This is where the rubber meets the road.
Sorry about your countryman. I'm sure it looked like a good op going in .... if potentially a poor trade.
Wonder if the NY Slimes will be posting a photo of the dying British commando.
No reporter is worth a soldiers life.
I’ll slap my kids head silly if they ever dream of being a “reporter”. Totally sad.
No Greater Love.
God Bless them.
He should be made to apoligize to the soldiers family.
A parallel thread notes that the NY Slime didn’t mention the commando until paragraph 3 (although it seems the NYS is moving paragraphs around as folks complain):

The New York Time reporter WAS NOT worth the life of this Heroic British Commando. To the British family who scarified so much for so little, you have my deepest heartfelt condolences. I would like to thank the Soldier for doing his duty. He is an example to the metro-sexual, hypocritical liberal news organization, whose member he helped rescue. May his heroic death serve as a learning moment to these cowardly, selfish, short sighted, lying, progressive basturds.
I personally would have let the Taliban have him.
Wonderful. Now the NY Times reporter can trash the soldier that died for him.
RIP.
that reporter was in all likelihood not worth the loss of that commando’s hangnail
sad..very sad
Looks like a victory for the Taliban! We sacrifice two DECENT people to save one dirty JOURNALIST.
