The same Navy SEALS who killed Osama bin Laden have pulled off another successful and daring operation, this time rescuing a kidnapped American woman and Danish man in Somalia.

Jessica Buchanan, 32 and Poul Hagen Thisted were working for the Danish Refugee Council when they were abducted in October. When word came that Thisted had a medical condition that was "deteriorating rapidly," according to White House sources, President Obama ordered the rescue mission.

Members of SEAL Team 6 went in early Wednesday morning as guards slept, killing nine of the kidnappers and capturing three others, reports The Associated Press.

Obama was on the phone with Buchanan's father shortly after the State of the Union address to give him the good news.

"As Commander-in-Chief, I could not be prouder of the troops who carried out this mission, and the dedicated professionals who supported their efforts," Obama said in a statement released by the White House. "The United States will not tolerate the abduction of our people, and will spare no effort to secure the safety of our citizens and to bring their captors to justice."

It is not clear exactly what illness the 60-year-old Thisted has, but the Refugee Council had been working with Somalian elders to get him released. Those talks went nowhere.

"One of the hostages has a disease that was very serious and that had to be solved," Danish Foreign Minister Villy Soevndal told Denmark's TV2 channel.

While Danish Refugee Council chief Andreas Kamm said he would have preferred to see the hostages freed through peacefully negotiations, "we're happy with the outcome. This is a day of joy indeed."

Go to your table,and eat your myths,and lies that you never made. Breathe your mythical air you never made from a body that breathes out deadly carbon dioxide that can kill you breathing only it in a plastic bag. The words you say are just as deadly to your soul. With your mythical eyes that you never made look up at the mythical universe that you never made, and only acknowledge what man made with his puffed up attitude from the mythical things he never made to make the things man with their highminded ego bows down to, and worships.

It is difficult to convince a human that is like doubting Thomas who only believed when he put his finger into the spear, and nail prints in Jesus. Blessed are they which have not seen, and yet believe. You are like him. I want you to believe before you see the real thing. The evidence of God is you, and all that is around you that you use everyday. Gods light is not ready to shine like t did when he said let their be light, and there was light. That was 4 days before the sun was created as it is written in the KJV. God could have made whatever in whatever time frame for he is eternal The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. You use what God put here all the time. Stop being like the ungrateful Lucifer. It is good you are not for war. God is not for war ether. I wish you would acknowledge a greater being that made what humans harvest from the earth without a being demanding a price.

It is impossible to convince anyone when you have no truth, mo logic, and nothing but your myths and lies.

There never was a jesus. I have proven that to you. You ignore anything that doesn't agree with your own mentally ill delusions.

Stop ignoring the questions. Each time you do, your case falls further into derision and ridicule. It's already so far into disrepute that only a fool like you would continue.

There is no god, you moron. Prove it. Prove it, prove it.

If freedom means anything, it is the liberty to tell others what they do not want to hear.

Proverbs 12 22Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: Satan is the one who lies making him abominable, and not sex. Proverbs 17 :23A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. The judgment against the zoosexual has been perverted. with a legal system that is mans wisdom that God says is foolish condemning whoever condemning themselves.. Luke 6:37:King James Bible Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. ,Proverbs 12 20,Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellers of peace is joy. No joy has been given to the zoo, and takes the joy away from clothing optional; humans too calling nudity bad. That makes the persecutors evil full of deceit. King James Bible 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. The judgers of the zoosexual, bestialist are condemners. 1 John 4 ,12, If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Persecuting is not loving no matter how you slice it To persecute anyone makes a human as bad as a White supremacists or the k, k, k, cross burning vigilantes or the deceitful, conniving, accusing condemning scribes, and Pharisees who tormented Jesus, and his disciples or the humans that spit in the face of Jesus or killed a zoos bull, and rubbed in on the weeping woman. All of it it connected to the oppressive sodomistic, legal system, Isaiah 1 ,17,and you will see God saying do not oppress the widow, and the fatherless. Jesus did not seek a hanging, Jesus did not ride in a posse or join a gang hiding in wait to kill or participate in a Salem witch hunts to burn humans. Humans who do bad to the zoosexual etc seem to think so. Your body sins simply because it dies. That is what this verse means.

Romans 3:23;23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Have Jesus in you,and whoever will save humans,and not condemn humans loving them showing humans the character of Jesus, and not the devil. John 3;16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Jesus is God the word made flesh. John 1:14;14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. That is Jesus who is Lord. King James Bible Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment .I am giving righteous Judgment. Be broken falling on the rock of ages or that rock will fall on you crushing you.

You are undoubtedly one of the most arrogantly stupid people I have ever encountered.

You don;t even know the purpose of paragraphs but ramble on with amazingly stupid bible quotations.

You have repeatedly been asked to prove even one thing you have said. You have ignored those requests every tome.

So you understand how much that shows you area liar, and an intellectual and ethical coward?

It also reveals you to be a disgusting example of a human being.

Prove that any god has ever existed. Prove that you are not an astoundingly ignorant liar.

A landslide of information that will bury the haters against the human that has sex with another species.You are an animal with instincts of the fight or flight response, we are animals Biologically, physiologically, chemically, scientifically, sexually, Microscopically having the same cell name in us called Eukaryote cells. Ecclesiastes 3 ;18-20 K, J, V is God saying we are a beast, and to manifest that we are a beast, and that we have no preeminence above a beast. That means sex with a dog is a beast having sex with a beast. There are cases of reverse bestiality too. A diver was pined to the bottom of the ocean by a Sea turtle trying to have sex with him, and a large bird tried to have sex with a human too. http://scienceblogs.com/observations/2011/01/reverse_bestiality_when_animal.php,

Those against the zoo are like this:1 Timothy 5 ;13And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not..

PROVERBS 26:17

Those against the zoosexual also don’t judge themselves being like Jesus destroying their neighbor being a Hypocrite.

Proverbs 9An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

Matthew 15:11 ,King James Bible Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Sex of any kind does not defile you. The soul is not defiled with any kind of sex.

King James Bible<< Proverbs 11 ,1 A false balance [is] abomination to the LORD: but a just weight [is] his delight. Sex is not an abomination.

King James Bible<< Proverbs 11,20They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. This is not sex ether.

Proverbs 15 4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. This has nothing to do with any sex ether.

Proverbs 19 :1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. .It seems the one against the bestialist, zoosexual is the fool.

War lies saying peace,and safety,but gives sudden destruction. War is the deceptive liar.

People that lead a nation into counter-productive wars are the liars. People that believe them are the fools.

If freedom means anything, it is the liberty to tell others what they do not want to hear.

You are right. The only good war is a war against war that harms no man.
