Sniper Shots and Escalation

Writes James Lloyd:

The daring rescue undertaken by “our” courageous Navy was what I suspected: long-range rifle shots. America’s public endangerment professionals took aim at individuals in a small boat, with a hostage, in ocean water. The lucky part of this thing is that the captain is alive; were there men standing by to initiate chaos if the captain was tagged by a sniper? A willingness to jeopardize innocent people is, after all, the benchmark of US foreign (& domestic) policy.

“From now on, if we capture foreign ships and their respective countries try to attack us, we will kill them (the hostages).”
