I don't know his name but I saw the video and thought he did an amazing job defusing the situation. I was even impressed with some of the Imams trying to corral their people. Could have turned out very badly.

I don't know that he was a Colonel, but he appeared to have had some sort of special operations training before - he seemed to know how to deal with the natives, he defused a very bad situation in a matter of minutes.

Only one of the stations showed the entire footage - they were completly surrounded and incredibly outnumbered. Shows how professional our troops our, lesser trained troops might have gotten scared and somebody might have opened up, turning the place into a bloodbath and getting our troops killed.
