My Comment: The Washington Post article detailing the role that special operations will play is here. What I find remarkable about this story is the total lack of public debate in the U.S. on it .... where is the media, the punditry class, academia, and anti-war protestors. There is/was an outcry over Guantanamo inmates, CIA renditions, and Abu Ghraib .... but in this case we have hit squads deliberating assassinating targets .... but no outcry now?

What a bunch of cruel Barbarians, worse than the worst Takfiri/Salafist scum....
The Zioconned world has been exposed and it ain't pretty....
