The bin Laden connection
By Chris Lawrence:
Pentagon spokesman George Little said the rescue team was comprised of special operations troops from different branches of the military, but Little would not specify what services. A US official told CNN that among the rescuers were Navy SEALs from the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden in a raid in Pakistan last year. The official, who is not authorized to speak to the media and asked not to be named, did not say whether any of the same people were involved in both operations.
"This was very much a joint mission," said Pentagon Spokesman Capt. John Kirby.
By Larry Shaughnessy: An American special forces raid to rescue two hostages in Somalia was not complete when President Barack Obama said "good job" to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta Tuesday night during the State of the Union address, Pentagon spokesman George Little said Wednesday. The American and Danish hostages were safe at that point, but the American assault team was not yet safely out of Somalia, he said.
Panetta went over for a routine meeting in the afternoon at the White House and ended up staying until the State of the Union. Panetta monitored the operation from the White House and spoke by phone with General Carter Ham, the Commander of US Africa Command, who was running of the operation.
What's the status of al Qaeda a year after Osama bin Laden's death and what do we know now that we didn't know then?

How did Andy know to ask this guy? How did he know he was in the audience? How did he know that he would be there that night? How did the pseron with the mic know to give it to him? How did he get there, did he buy the plane ticket or did someone else?Talk about rigging the election...Was this guy in the National Guard? I thought that wasn't *really* serving in the military...
I was in the Navy for 10 years back during the Cold War. I have always held out men and women in uniform in the highest regard. Awesome job Team Six. Once again you have proved who is the baddest of the bad.
