Navy Seals make another "movie of the week"

[Tool-Slinger]

Seriously, Hollywood could not make up anything better:

The same U.S. Navy SEAL unit that killed Osama bin Laden parachuted into Somalia under cover of darkness early Wednesday and crept up to an outdoor camp where an American woman and Danish man were being held hostage. Soon, nine kidnappers were dead and both hostages were freed.

Absolutely stunning! They went in on parachutes, and also took 3 prisoners.

That's some really good news, but I thought Seal team 6 died in a helicopter crash a month or so past.

Can they replace team members that fast?

I have no idea what makes up a seal team. For all I know it could be 4 guys or an entire regiment. Maybe someone else can answer that.

I did search the crash, it happened in August. Several team 6 members died.

I also remember that now that you mention it. Maybe someone will come along and clarify that for us. Good question.

I wish we could "bait ships" off the coast of somalia...... have some old freighter with some soldiers and some heavy machineguns and cannons on board....

When those guys get a couple hundred feet from the boat........just release the kracken on em.

That would be funny as all get out....

And I wouldnt merely just shoot their boats up..... Im talking release the kracken.......totally obliterate them with machine gun and cannon fire.... chew em up so bad that there is nothing left solid.......turn the pirates...their boats...all their equipment into soup.

Good idea.

I also like the idea of just sweeping the local coast-line and sinking anything that floats. No ships, no pirates.
