A post at Rantburg took me to Stormbringer, where I learned of rumors in the Special Operations Community that, far from approving of the killing of the Somali pirates and rescue of Captain Phillips of the Maersk Alabama by US Navy SEALS, His Imperial Majesty Barack Hussein Obama and his minions threw up roadblocks to progress, which were overridden without authority by the commander on the scene, and that the charging of SEALS for the war crime of giving a tango High Value Target a fat lip is in retaliation.
Now, I happen to know from personal experience that Special Operations-types are not above spinning tales, or of tin-foil hat-worthy conspiracy theories. And it would be really, really stupid for the National Command Authority to engage in petty pissing contests of this nature with the military, especially with the Special Operations community.
Unfortunately, I have seen little to assure me that this White House is not, in fact, occupied by a bunch of immature, whiny little brats who would gladly bring down the whole nation if it suited them to throw a temper tantrum.
As for three SEALs being "witnesses but not charged", Occams Razor tells me that those charged told the investigators to pound sand, but the other three didn't see what the big deal was; so Petty Office Jones belted the guy, so what? The politicians in the chain of command took that ball and ran with it...
