US Navy SEAL Assault on Paitilla Airfield, Panama

[AdamR]

I heard in Afghanistan that when the ODA`s had Bin Laden cornered and within their sights they wer`nt allowed go in because of the restrictions placed on them from the top brass,they had to leave it to Delta to grab
but they were 100`s of kilometres away from the area
and he slipped through.

I think that was Mullah Omar, former leader of the Taliban, not OBL. Rumour has it that he escaped on the back of a moped and the US Army were unable to engage because of their orders.

Him escaping isnt a laughing matter but the mental image of him on the back of a moped 'zooming' off into the sunset is.

Bureacracy and politics is everywhere.

One of the funniest things I have ever seen was a scruffy old man on a clapped out moped with piss pot style helmet weaving through a railway crossing as the barriers came down!

laughed so hard it hurt!

I can just picture it now.....lol

Kampilan, thanks for the heads up.
Good men died and I`m sorry for being so flippant.

Apologies due if my last post on this thread seemed flippant and immature.

It is a sad day indeed when brave young men sacrifice themselves for the careers of their superiors.

Godspeed
