I’m sure he did good work, but he was not there serving the American people.
The rescue attempt was a courtesy, not a responsiblity.
True, but the US has a track record of helping out non-employee citizens in trouble (right or wrong, remember the 1-year old on a sail boat rescue? http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/07/parents-sick-1-year-old-defend-taking-kids-on-boat-trip-after-navy-rescue/
And now completely conflicting news reports!! Reuters reporting he is rescued successfully: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/06/us-yemen-usa-hostage-idUSKCN0JK06F20141206?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=twitter
“Fog of War” situation I guess...we’ll see.
