Were it not for this high-value target, it might have been a routine mission for the specially trained and highly mythologized SEAL Team Six, officially called the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, but known even to the locals at their home base Dam Neck in Virginia as just DevGru.
DevGru belongs to the Joint Special Operations Command, an extraordinary and unusual collection of classified standing task forces and special-missions units.
Oh...the same unit olberman and the Left thought were assassins....
"It's an executive assassination ring essentially, and it's been going on and on and on," Hersh stated. "Under President Bush's authority, they've been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That's been going on, in the name of all of us."
The Joint Special Operations Command, or JSOC, does participate in the black operations hunt for al Qaeda and other terrorist groups' leaders.
JSOC was established in 1980 after the failed mission to rescue the hostages at the U.S. embassy in Iran. JSOC is a component command of the U.S. Special Operations Command, which reports to the Secretary of Defense.
Did Obama criticize this seal team? If not, what is your point?
We don't take pundits as gospel writing prophets like the righties do. Most right-wingers take Fox and Limbaugh as the last and only word. I bet this topic was a talking point of one of your right-wing pundits.
Just curious Sanrene, was this Limbaugh's talking point today?
What's wrong? Can't even believe your own eyes and ears about this? And surely you remember olberman ranting about this team of assassins, the Navy Seals that killed OBL...the same ones he's raving about NOW.
Here's another hypocritical leftist;
Team Six - from Cheney's assassination squad to obama's super awesome crew.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the left been living in 2004 for the last 2 years? They can't complete a sentence without use of the word "Bush".
Wrong! Bush gets no credit for the assassination of Osama.
