    I'm such an idiot. I fell into the trap of talking about something deeper than what Euro player is the next greatest Rocket or what video game is awesome with DaDakota.

    Or politically feasible. The Saudi's may have told us that they don't want special forces operating in their backyard. Unlike Pakistan, Saudi Arabia has the clout to make us think twice about ignoring their 'concerns."

    He was a great actor and he had a memorable performance in Jewel of the Nile. He'll be missed.

    I think we already have SOF operating in their backyard. I'm guessing a raid was too politically risky for Obama, especially in the aftermath of the downed chopper that killed all those seals. Then there would be the right-wing calls of being too easy on terrorist if Obama brought him home and gave him a trial. Can you just imagine what the response would be if he risked the lives of American servicemen to just give a terrorist a trial?

    Dude, you're even more annoying in D&D than you are in GARM, with apparently less self-awareness of your arrogant annyoingness (sic) than Michael Scott.

    Then, when everyone piles on, you get defensive and wonder why me?

    Even more annoying is that if you put DD on ignore, it screws up the site layout due to the fact that he posts somewhere between 12 and 400 posts per thread.

    Hey, if someone is going to come in and make a snide comment, I guess it is my fault that I give it right back.

    Oh well....que cera cera.

    That's speculation on my part, just as your comment that special forces are already "operating in their backyard" is speculation of your own. It would also depend on what's considered SA's "backyard." I think Yemen fits. As for the other comments, I seriously doubt that the downed chopper had any impact on the decision to take this guy out with a drone fired missile. And bringing an American terrorist home for a trial as a negative politically? I don't see it. If we lost people capturing this guy in order to bring him home for a trial, I can see that being a political risk, but concern for the lives of our people would be outweighing possible political repercussions at home. Frankly, I would have liked to have seen this fellow captured, returned to America, and put on trial, but not if the risk was considered an undue one compared to just taking him out. That apparently was the case.

    Yes, sometimes you have to take action, but it always has to be appropriate,
    and you find out what's inappropriate by going through the procedures. Seriously, when has given this kind of freedom to politicians worked? The mere fact that there is more than one opinion in this thread necessitates making sure that appropriate procedures were followed.

    Now if you want to deduce from consistent historical inaction that congress is able and willing to impeach, great stuff. But not everyone believes that, and rightfully so.
