Job well done, fellows. BZ

Just saw it on Breitbart. Good Job Navy.

Credit where credit is due: the call was made in the field under standing orders.
More on this from Eagle1.
What a wonderful happy ending to a very tense situation. GOOD JOB TO ALL INVOLVED in this successful mission.
Great links in your 4/12 post LDG-thank you. Didn't think Obama had much to do with it anyway, but he sure enjoys the credit he is receiving (sigh)

Heh...
*This* wins the "GMTA" award for the week.
