Likely carried out by those "Boots On The Ground" that Obama says we don't have in Iraq, despite more troops being sent over THIS WEEK.
This has been floating around in the ether for about 24 hours now, but this is the first "Big Media" article I have seen. NBC posted a story 4 hours ago about "Heavy Airstrikes" in Iraq yesterday.

That makes 2 to nothing (that we know about) under Jimmy Carter II.

Did someone at the Outhouse tip them off ahead of time about the rescue attempt? Not that we could ever have reason to be suspicious..........

After Obozo scheduled the rescue mission to free the Jordanian pilot, the WH called the local ISIS in Raqqa to tell them a rescue team was coming so the Americans and their allies wouldn't surprise the soldiers of Allah. That was mighty considerate of the Muslim-in-Chief and his real brain, Valerie Jarrett. Obozo is Jimmy Carter II on steroids, but the MSM adores him! He's such a girly man!!
To: tcrlaf
There are so many muslims in the Obama Administration I can’t understand how any action such as this “rescue mission” succeeding. The enemy is within, and has access to everything.

Sure have been a lot of SpecOp failures lately. SpecOps is too light of infantry for this type of target. What was needed was a Marine Expeditionary Unit, or an Airborne Bn (Rein). I would go with the MEU because they bring the hammer: Artillery, harriers, cobras, towed 120MM mortars, LAVs, snipers galore, expeditionary airfield capability, a Direct Action capability, along with 3 rifle companies and a heavy weapons company.
They would not have had to run from Shi'ite.

They track them down and kill them everyone.

As I have said before, and been criticized for, it’s time to bring the first string, the varsity, back into the game.

Let’s hope this is all we hear of it. SEALs have suffered from diarrhea of the mouth for the past few years, and it’s time for special operations to return to the shadows where they belong - and from which they are most feared and most successful.
To: Salvavida
I agree.
I can’t see 2,200 marines, well equipped, and with the kind of air cover they can bring to bear, quitting the fight.

Doesn’t sound very covert or subtle.

Russian warships still anchored at Tartus? Their AA missiles would seem to give Putin something to say about
any such operations..

............I could be wrong but I don’t believe the Bear has fired on the Eagle ever AFTER WWII...............except by proxies and via rented fighter pilots.
That said, you make an excellent point.
