About 70 Kurdish hostages rescued in an operation involving the U.S. military "faced imminent mass execution," the Pentagon said in a statement Thursday. A U.S. service member was killed -- the first American combat death in Iraq since November 2011 -- in the operation at a prison of the Islamist militant group ISIS near Hawija in the northern province of Kirkuk.

Thought Zero got us out of Iraq.

I also thought he had promised to give us everything and anything we wanted,and that it wasn't supposed to cost us anything because the people that own him like Warren Buffett were going to pay all the taxes.

You don't think he was lying,do you?

Having said all that,any time an assault force can pull off an attack on a fortified fixed place with armed soldiers as guards and only have 4 wounded and 1 KIA on their side,the people who planned and pulled off that operation have their "stuff" together!

Especially when it is a stand-alone raid by a small force and not a part of a massive invasion by thousands.

Those guys are the pros!

Yes it was a very successful operation.

I hope they didn't take any prisoners.

It depends. If the Kurdish and Iraqi SF were in the lead I would say there were no "messy details" to clean up after. Unless they actually found some ISIS worth interrogating.

Before we left the Iraqis were good at arresting Iraqi citizens engaged in terrorist activities. It was swift justice. Meaning they went to trial quickly.

Obama ended our troops being involved in combat missions or having boots on the ground.

That was a misunderstanding. It was not a combat operation. The Pentagon spokeshole was spinning that all day.

Thirty troops from Delta Force on an "advise and assist role" participated in the raid when Kurdish "Cobra" commandos were overwhelmed after entering the walled compound on their own, the official said.

I know the Ops quite well. I was never Delta but spent a lot of time planning operations with them and other SF. We all used to swap combat resources and intelligence too.

So 30 may be what was on the ground but add to that the transport Helo, attack helo, the air cap of fixed wing CAS and "Spookie" overhead and the numbers grow.

Thought the emperor would not put boots on the ground to execute a rescue mission. Why not such an effort for Ty Woods and Glen Doherty ,and at least 32 other Americans who were under attack on 9-11-12 ?
