EXCLUSIVE: U.S. special operations forces mounted an unsuccessful mission to rescue two American University of Afghanistan professors kidnapped in Kabul last month -- after an earlier mission was aborted when the White House withheld its approval -- defense officials with knowledge of the incident told Fox News.
Fox News is told the operation, which took place a few days after their Aug. 7 kidnapping, killed seven enemy fighters. But when the firefight ended, there was no sign of the hostages.
One of the hostages is American; the other is Australian.
It was not the first attempt by the U.S. military to rescue the two professors.

They are two male professors, one from the U.S. and the other from Australia. I don’t recall their names but they’re nuts in my view for being there in the first place.
I thought their names had been released last month but I just checked and it looks like they haven’t.
Even though they’re males your rape comment could well apply to them too.

So where was obama? On another golf course? At another party?
If Obama thought of himself as American, he wouldn't say that. But he isn't an American.
Yep! Ever notice how wooden he gets when he talk about our citizens and country? It’s never “we” or “us”, it’s always “you” and “Americans” and usually “the country”. It’s disturbing.
