Navy SEALs rescue kidnapped aid workers Jessica Buchanan and Poul Hagen Thisted in Somalia
“U.S. Special Operations forces rescued an American hostage and her Danish colleague in Somalia early Wednesday in the kind of daring raid that the Obama administration has said will be the hallmark of future U.S. military missions.”
“Officials said the raid, by members of the Navy SEAL Team 6 unit that killed Osama bin Laden in May, demonstrated President Obama’s focus on the narrow, targeted use of force after a decade of large-scale military deployments.”
President Barack Obama is praising Special Operations Forces who rescued two hostages, including an American aid worker, from pirates in Somalia early Wednesday. (Jan. 25)

Timeline of raid in Somalia
The mission is “yet another message to the world that the United States of America will stand strongly against any threats to our people,” Obama said in a statement Wednesday

Kudos to the SEALs. Don’t know all that much about their capabilities, only what I have seen in documentaries. Have the feeling they do their job and then set about getting on with the next mission. As they should. They are true patriots.
As for the mention of the Resident’s comments, I have my own take on that at my place. Personally not impressed.
Thanx for posting this and the historicity behind the need for this operation. This is important.

I agree.
The SEALS are on their job, and doing it quite well.
Our politicians need to get onto their job!
