Looking for the real rundown of Somali rescue/attack

Long story short I believe they were dead before the so called sniper shots

Why? We wanted to end this and we were perfectly willing to kill the perpetrators. So what's to be gained in telling a different story? And why would we risk lying about an outcome when the outcome was what we wanted anyway?

What conceivable scenario do you think occurred and why would we want to conceal it?

Lastly, you can be assured that we're not the only people on the planet with sophisticated surveillance capabilities. At least a couple other countries watched this happen in real-time. And they would love to share any conspiracy evidence with the global media.
 
Aaaahhh the problem being there is the Captain an eye witness to the events. So it would be hard to present anything other than the truth.
 
Not a conspiracy the outcome was the same I just believe the end came from a different means than sniper shots
 
Why? Because of the difficulty of the shot? I shoot with a dozen guys that could have taken two of them at that range with handguns. Those wouldn't be terribly challenging shots for any world-class tactical rifleman at 10 times that range.
 
FWIW- Two Royal Marines snipers killed a pair of Iraqis in 1993. The snipers were at a range of 860 meters and dropped the pair simultaneously. The wind was moving so briskly that their windage adjustment was 56 feet to the left.

Carlos Hathcock, the famed USMC sniper, took a NVA captain at a range of 2250 meters. He got 92 others at varying ranges. The longest shot to date is by Canadian sniper Rob Furlong in Afghanistan at a range of 2,430 meters.

3.28084 feet per meter = 7972.44 feet. That's only 1.5 miles.....:ack2:
 
What's really amazing is the Hathcock made his shot with a GI -issue rifle in 300 Win Mag and Furlong made his 3 decades later with a $15,000 AIC in 50 cal.

Sean alot of people can't get their heads around the idea of shots of a target in motion but as a boater you should know the oceans and the motion associated with it is cyclical. The operators on the fantail of the Bainbridge basically had a solid position with little movement and the lifeboat in 2' swells really isn't moving too much, these weren't washing machine conditions they were dealing with. The things that were in the operators favor were the fact that they didn't have to contend with windage issues because of the shot, the bullet was on target in a fraction of a second. These were all good kills.

Unreal One rifle was by a gunsmith with traditional tools and one by Aerospace tolerances.. The .50 Machine gun round Bullet tip has not changed from what John Mose Browning designed back in the First World War the reason I said that is there was a rumor Wernher von Braun used that shape for the V-2 Rocket.Sorry to get off topic here.
 
BHO paid the ransom and made this story up to look like a tough guy / not look like a wuss. He doesn't have the balls to give the ok to fire.

:lurk5:

Careful there are paid ACORN agitators that come in to complain about posting and people (Americans) seems they have a Huge Inferiority complex Like the Kenyan Clown and the only transparency is their thin skin.

Can you do it on a boat in 5-7s?? From one boat to another? Notice in the pictures there were bullet holes in the cabin portion. Makes me wonder how the Captain survived. He must have been laid out on the floor.

I can't wait to hear his story.
