Lance 228 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/16/world/africa/algeria-attack/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 I must say that here lately the military has made short work of these types of situations...not sure why they would think taking Americans hostage is a good idea...but, I bet a SEAL team will soon be a knockin' on the door.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I think Special Forces from Britain, France or the US could probably have dont a better job but hostages were gonna be killed no matter what. The bastards knew they werent gonna get out of this and they planned on killing the hostages all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we had some input on the situation, but I think the ALgerians were more interested in making sure they were running the show vs. letting the US or UK take the lead. Who knows, may have been worse if they waited for us to get in there, but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
