<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nOur buddy, Susan Katz Keating wrote an article yesterday entitled “Hostage rescue was aborted while Obama vacationed<\/a>“. Apparently, she’s getting some backlash from the Pentagon on it this morning, so you’d better read it before it’s gone.<\/p>\n The story is that folks were in route to a target where they were expecting to rescue some hostages, but because the President was on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, he hadn’t had time to consider the operation, so they were called back. By the time they finally got approval, the hostages were gone.<\/p>\n “We raised hell in that compound,” said a security staffer with knowledge of the mission. “We knocked down walls and killed bad guys.”<\/p>\n Seven hostile combatants were killed and one injured, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed to American Media Institute. Among its many duties, CENTCOM is the Pentagon’s Unified Combatant Command in charge of operations in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n “No civilians were killed or harmed,” said Col. John J. Thomas, the CENTCOM director of public affairs. “No U.S. forces were killed or hurt.”<\/p>\n The missions took place Aug. 10 and 11, in Afghanistan, Thomas confirmed. He did not address operational details of the rescue missions; but AMI spoke to sources who provided details, some of which CENTCOM confirmed. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n We’re not surprised, because that’s how this president has been fighting this war against terror – when he has the time and he’s fully considered the political implications. Unfortunately, wars fought like that aren’t all that effective. <\/p>\n But, like I said, go read SKK’s article while you still can.<\/p>\n ADDED:<\/strong> The “main stream media<\/a>” is pushing back against SKK’s version of events in deference to the Pentagon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
