"Delta Force" raids ISIS compound....

[Blind Sniper]

Just flipped to Fox to see this. Apparently Delta went in to a compound in eastern Syria, managed to take out a senior ISIS commander and capture his wife.

Anyone hear anything else about this yet?

I just saw it on Facebook. But I am always skeptical about stuff on FB.

That would be pretty sweet if legit. Now we just need to do that a few hundred more times and we'll get that pest problem under control.

Sounds like the making of a good Movie.

It's being reported on Fox News and multiple online news outlets. An administration official has also issued a news release.

Yeppers. Especially with reports of hand to hand combat and no US forces injured.

Interrogation. She's also a player.

I thought women couldn't be anything other than niqab wearing and popping out babies under strict Islam.....

A lot of the higher-ups in groups like ISIS really only claim to follow Islam. In reality they're just power-hungry nutjobs using religious fervor to further their goals. Besides, what married man doesn't end up bitching to/around the wife about their work? None, from what I've seen.

She reportedly has a hand in human trafficking and slavery. She may also know where some western hostages may be.

If this is fact, then I am glad they don't even need to waste time with a towel. Just waterboard the burqa.

Obama propping up his cronies for 2016?

Like the Bin Laden saga, hard to believe a damned thing coming out either side of this political asshattery we call government.

Exactly....back in the day, wouldn't this sort of thing be classified for 'bout 100 years?

Glad we got the win at least. Anyone else find it amusing that they cried about it and said they'll get Obama as revenge? LoL, as if he's everything there is to the United States...

Pretty soon they're gonna catch Elvis. Then dump his body at sea.

good thing for spike the football press reports like this, cuz we obviously are winning this "thing".

Battle Ramadi is far from over. ( battle number 2, 3? who's counting anymore)

Journalist Mitchell Prothero of McClatchy Newspapers said ISIS forces didn't withdraw from the government compound buildings -- they abandoned them to move into residential neighborhoods where they'll be less likely to be hit by coalition airstrikes.

Man, I bet the 60's and 70's were a dangerous time. I wonder how many Vietcong terror cells were blowing up hippy smoke outs? I bet they were blowing all kinds of things up. Using financial backing from China and Russia. Bet you couldn't walk down the street.

I wasn't alive then so I don't know. Surely Clarence of Arabia isn't the first to run amuck at art festivals. We're they blowing up Sheba statues back thing? Those things are racist.

Bet the USSR is kicking themselves for not thinking about blowing up people jogging, art festivals, military bases. Those guys were notorious dumbasses!?
