This is why we have elite fighters

The Navy SEALS are arguably the most elite fighting force in the world. Their selection process is brutal, their training extremely difficult.

Most of the incidents that they are probably involved in are the ones that we never hear about. But, once in a while, they get the credit they deserve.

This article reports one such case. It seems some Somali pirates had the bad judgement to hijack an American Flagged vessel. The SEALS we called in and saved the Captain.

And, it should be said, saved The Messiah in the process. He can now tout the strength of his resolve and the wise use of the military. And he needs to do this right now. Why?

Well, if early indications are true - he is planning big cuts in the military budgets. We will be back in Carter territory. If he gets his way - it is not clear the military will continue to possess the capabilities put on display today by the Navy SEALS.

So, The One is lucky this happened now - BEFORE he had his chance to decimate the military like Carter did. I just hope he remembers to thank George W. Bush (Yah - look for THAT to happen) for passing on to him a military capable of this type of thing. I guess he can add that to the things he 'inherited'.
