Sounds like the President wants to release the film footage...staring voice over provided by Chuck Norris as Colonel Scotty McCoy.

There was a GReat photo circulating this morning of Nancy Pelosi reviewing the full mission brief for the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi mission.

Apparently she is claiming that didn't get notified prior to hit time and that her approval was required because she is equal in government to the Commander in Chief - you can tell by the look on her face that she was NOT happy about being left out of the loop. An unconfirmed source said she was actually invited to the mission briefing and that she DID infact show up to the briefing. Reliable reporting inside the White House have said that she showed up to the briefing, she took her seat at the briefing, and then as soon as the POTUS sat down she jumped up and decreed that the POTUS was unhinged and that he was having a meltdown. She then stormed out of the briefing before it even started - then later when she was handed the mission folder to review (post incident) she flipped her lid - the attached picture was captured on a cell phone that an evil republican must have snuck into the SCIF

The data line showing the unit info & TTPs we get plunges the further away from NavSW community the graph gets. And the puppy ain't talkin'... but someone can take him a beer for me.

Well done to our SpecOps warriors.

Well done to our CINC, especially the part about not informing the communist DNC traitors in advance.

You're right; looks like a Malinois and they can have a definite crazy side to them. Best if you keep it so they like you.
Thanks for the link.

I went to K-9 Handler School on Okinawa (I wasn't a handler, they just had an extra dog that needed training and I was the training dummy). If you watch Police K-9 training the dogs go for the extremities, the legs and arms. Not so all military dogs. Police train with a sleeve, we had full body suits including the head, which was a lot of fun in the Summer. Of course, they are all trained for different jobs and not necessarily like ours were, but if I were a terrorist and saw a fur torpedo heading for me I'd probably blow myself up, too.

Don't know if it's true but I'd heard from a guy years ago that they could catalog over 100 individual scents - like a torpedo with a Rolodex. They'd sniff the whole patrol element before going out and anything different was in the wrong category. Like I said, don't know how accurate it is but they are amazing animals.

Trust me, when you are in the suit, it's exactly what they look like! Plus several of them weighed as much as I did and when they hit they hit hard.

Abu Hassan al-Muhajir,, DEAD, within hours of bagging al-Baghdadi

Quote:

ISIS spokesman Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, potential al-Baghdadi successor, also killed in Syria, official says

Islamic State spokesman Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, considered a potential successor to terror leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, also was killed in Syria in a separate attack by U.S. forces, a senior State Department official confirmed to Fox News on Monday.

Al-Muhajir had been considered a “number two” to al-Baghdadi, according to the official.

The second U.S. military operation took place in Turkish-held Jarabulus in northern Syria, a 3-hour drive from where al-Baghdadi was killed near another border town with Turkey, Fox News has learned.

Funny because most of the Arabs I met and got to know over there don't like dogs. They don't keep them as pets like we do.
