Saturday

but, speaking as a professional, I've got to give credit to the US Military SF for their very well planned and execution of this operation with very few, if any, civilian casualties, and no, so far, US casualties.

Don't get me wrong, I strongly condemn this illegal attack on a sovereign nation and the, IMO, illegal kidnapping of Ven. "Pres.", but the planning and speed with which this was carried out is amazing in its complexity and execution.
