The stunning snatch and grab of Venezuelan “President” Nicolas Maduro is as much a pie in the face to Democrats as it is a tribute to the professionalism of the U.S. military.
It is particularly embarrassing to the inept Biden administration for its shameful and humiliating retreat from Afghanistan, an event that will forever stain every member of that befuddled presidency that put the U.S. military in such an untenable situation.
Democrats today are frantically screeching that they should have been informed of the Venezuelan operation ahead of time. That would have been tantamount to flying a U.S. aircraft over Caracas, towing a banner saying “Here we come” with the date and time.
Not long ago, Democratic Minority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer was ridiculing President Trump for inaction against Maduro, then yesterday the flummoxed old hypocrite was protesting Trump’s arrest of him.
Other than the fact that the highly successful operation had Trump’s stamp of approval, Democrats may be equally upset because their drugs keep disappearing into the ocean, and their dealer is now in jail. The way Democrats are now disparaging Trump’s actions, it would appear they were discussing jihadists, except they are generally far more respectful when referring to people who want to behead Americans.
The U.S. military mission’s astonishing success was due to the skill and professionalism of the military and its ability to maintain secrecy. That success is in large part attributable to the coordination and skills of CIA Director John Ratcliffe and the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General John Daniel “Raizin” Caine. Informing a single Democrat ahead of time would have thrown a proverbial monkey wrench into the operation and cost American lives.
The entire operation involving hundreds of aircraft, numerous soldiers, sailors, and marines took less than 45 minutes. The fact that Maduro’s residence was on a highly fortified military base made it all the more spectacular.
The only thing missing was Richard Wagner’s musical score “Flight of the Valkyries” as the Blackhawk helicopters swooped in silhouetted by the glow of U.S. bomb blasts taking out Venezuelan air defenses. The U.S. didn’t lose a single soldier or piece of equipment.
It is evident that the U.S. military had excellent intelligence from local sources. The logistics of coordinating so many air and naval assets were possible because the military under Secretary Pete Hegseth has been given a new focus on its mission, including the weeding out of dissenters and sexually confused recruits from the ranks. “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” has been drummed out of the corps in humiliation.
The looks on the soldiers’ faces when briefed on their mission were probably similar to the approving looks of those in Tom Clancy’s “A Clear and Present Danger” thriller when they learned of their mission to wage warfare on the drug dealers in Colombia.
Isn’t it coincidental that those well-funded leftist folks ordered to condemn the military’s success popped up simultaneously nationwide? The Media Research Center reported that the same professionally printed protest signs appeared at demonstrations across the United States, all protesting the arrest of Maduro. “Someone paid the protesters and had the signs printed, then they were shipped from coast to coast. It is a speedy, orchestrated operation with the money to do that,” says West Coast pundit Steve Maikowski.
The Maduro operation was a major blow to the thugs, dictators, and drug lords in the southern hemisphere and elsewhere who are now nervously glancing over their shoulders while double-checking the security locks on their doors each night.
One of the biggest losers is Cuba, whose only export appeared to be its once vaunted security forces that were guarding Maduro when the U.S. military unexpectedly dropped in on him. Their once-feared reputation is now as full of holes as the dead Cubans guarding the startled dictator when Delta Force grabbed him as he scrambled to enter a “safe room.”
The socialist heads of state in Colombia, Mexico, Honduras, Cuba, and Iran all have backup plans to take their stolen loot and flee to Moscow and take up residence with their exiled Syrian pal, Bashar al-Assad, where they will compete to determine how much borscht and vodka they can consume.
Maybe New York’s commie Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who condemned the success, could invite them all to stay at the once luxurious Roosevelt Hotel that once hosted scores of illegal aliens courtesy of that city’s taxpayers. They could hang out together and bask in Mamdani’s “warmth of collectivism” and reminisce over the loss of their “rugged individualism.”
