"does anyone but me find the irony absolutely delicious -- it was bin laden's people who set up our guys in somalia. and our guys were rangers." Delicious indeed. The pentagon has already selected targets in Somalia, our next target. It will get sweeter for the Rangers.

Several weeks ago an ex-Special Forces guy was on FoxNews and said "We own the night" due to our IR technology. I guess he was right.

Notice that we have been hearing this story all day with the significant and most important omission of the raids purpose. I'm not a fan of this paper by any stretch, but they got the story right. I am sure that there was a military purpose to this attack, but the psychological impact was far greater. A message was sent to the Taliban and OBL, there is no where for you to hide. There is no safety. The Spookies didn't hurt either.
