Battle Damage Assessment: Hillary Cop vs. Delta Force
Seymour Hersh's New Yorker magazine report claiming that 12 Delta
Force members were wounded in an Oct. 20 raid on a Taliban
leader's complex was roundly debunked yesterday, both by the top
U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Tommy Franks, as well as
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Richard Myers.

Gen. Franks said the injuries were in fact mostly bumps,
scratches and bruises and Gen. Myers reported, "My belief is that
every soldier that came back from that particular raid is back on
duty today."

That's more than can be said of Westchester County Police Officer
Ernest Dymond, who remains sidelined by injuries sustained a week
before the Delta Force raid, when he tried to stop a van carrying
New York Senator Hillary Clinton as it blew past a local airport
security checkpoint.

"I thought we might have a terrorist," Dymond told the Washington
Times two days after the accident.

Officer Dymond's ongoing disability prompted one political wag to
remark to NewsMax off the record, "I guess getting in Hillary's
way can be more dangerous than fighting the Taliban."
