you gotta figure they had those infared laser red dot sights if they were using NVGs
Thats a pretty short distance for even recreational rifle work, but the roll and lull of the sea between two vessels, with three separate shooters in conjunction is still amazing to me.
BTW, that info wasnt in the article I read this morning. Detnews article, as it were.

Go back and read my post again. I said IT SEEMS with this administration. I never said Obama wouldn't do anything. And when I made that comment, we had yet to hear anything from Obama and all we got from Hilary was that she was waiting for the international community to weigh in on the situation and help them decide what to do.But you and many others specifically said he wouldn't give such an authorization, and would simply do the wishy washy thing.
You aren't the only one being criticized either.
Personally, it rubs me the wrong way to see myths like "Democratic presidents are wussies" be repeated in the face of a lot of contravening evidence.
When it comes to a lot of foreign policy there is much less difference between the parties than many, including you it seems, think.
And today, I said I was very pleased that Obama decided to give the authorization to take them out. What more do you want? But geez, the media is acting like Obama just saved the world!
If you could just say "I was wrong" without making excuses and starting to about something else, there would be less reason to mock you.
Its the same story the world 'round.
When the team is losing, coach gets all the blame.
When the team is winning, coach gets too much credit.
Meh...somebody needs to get fired when things go wrong because you cant replace your entire roster.
No, just one man's world. There's just always something wrong - no matter what - with you.
When all you libs admit you were wrong about President Bush - then maybe I'll think about it. But I have 7 more years to until I'll be even with you Bush bashers.
Wrong about what? He destroyed Earth. As we said he was doing all along. Perhaps you think things were just peachy when he left office.
the 22 percenters are insane.
What were we wrong about?
Of course. They're not used to a president making decisions that actually turn out good.
I love the idea that you will only admit that one person is correct if someone else admits that YOUR guy was correct too. Because that's not partisan at all.
Can you see how ridiculous that sounds Crookshanks? "Tell me how much you liked my guy, or I won't tell you I like YOUR guy!"
That doesn't seem very Christian of you.
I was not wrong about Bush.
He was incompetant, and that incompetance, when it came to the first 3 years of post-war Iraq occupation got thousands of our servicemembers killed.
Anybody who doesn't hold him accountable for that is guilty of putting party over the lives of our soldiers.
Bush did start doing some things right in Iraq, and in other foreign policy areas towards the end of his term, the damage done from the first 5 or 6 years SEVERELY limited the positive effects.
Let me re-state that in case anybody missed it:
Bush's administration started getting things right towards the end of his administration. He did quite a few things in the foreign policy arena well.
I might have bashed Bush for a lot of things, but I was, and am able to give him credit when he did things right.
Will you do the same for Obama?
crookshanks - You actually wonder why you get ?
yeah. that was a head scratcher.
the new burden of truth-telling for republicans is "I thought it was true at the time, so regardless of new evidence I'll stand by my original assertion or at least forgive myself for being so far off the mark because I was only working with the faulty intel available to me at the time."
