US Forces did not kill Saddam. He was hung by the Iraqi people following a trial in accordance with their law. It was our soldiers who tracked him down.

To broadcast that UBL is dead is fine.

To broadcast that UBL was killed by XXX unit of the US XXX forces? All that does is put targets on the backs of the people in those units. Bad operational security, particularly when those forces are still engaged in combat. The "Senior Defense Department Official" just committed a security breach, and he/she knows it.
I don't think so. Looks like they know what they are doing and did it well.
Why so negitive? Why not give credit to the President for a job well done with his advisers, something Bush could not get done. And he tried.
Why not give credit to our brave soldiers who risked their lives to get the job done? Our boys did a great job, a great job. How proud the families must be of these soldiers how proud and relieved that they are safe and made the world a safer place.
I was so proud of my son when he was in the Middle East twice protecting us. Proud and scared. When his ship bombed Saddam in the Indian Ocean and after 9/11 when his ship was the first one there to protrol and now it is his ship again which I believe carried the body.
I was on that ship and I saw the kids, yes kids, 18 and 19 year old girls and boys God they were so young to have to do this, so young to have so much responsiblity on their shoulders. Going out to sea for 6 months to protect and serve. Not knowing when they could contact their families, not knowing how long they really would be there since things had turned ugly. They were just so young.
But they all risked their lives for us. For you and me and everyone here to be safe.
Lets just be happy that our men are safe and got the job done. They can go home to their families. That is what counts.
