17 kidnapped in Haiti ...

And state and the FBI are teamed up to save them? What could possibly go wrong? I suspect they will either end up paying the ransom or getting them killed. How is that the FBI's jurisdiction?

We all know what needs to be done there, but do they?

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that the FBI and State Department are working toward the release of the hostages. resident Biden has been briefed and is receiving regular updates, Psaki added.

“The FBI is part of a coordinated U.S. government effort to get the U.S. citizens involved to safety,” Psaki said during a press conference. “We are not going to go into too much detail on that but can confirm their engagement.”

They need to pull one out of the Russian playbook and slay them all.

Take decisive action in a way they understand so it does not happen again under the B admin? Surely you jest.

That asshole will probably apologize and give them all 1st class tickets to the US to go along with millions.

FBI & DoS? I guess Empty Shelves Joe forgot we have a military? This job is tailor made for JSOC, not FBI & DoS.

indeed - this demands swift and overwhelming violence. americans keep getting kidnapped because americans keep paying ransom. drop a battalion of rangers on the island with enough ammunition to commit a genocide and tell them to call for a ride home when the hostages are either liberated or dead.

Meat eaters with bad intent are the obvious option for violent thugs who don't care at all about human life. Those same gangs are preventing food, med, etc from accessing starving/dying people in their own country, they sure as chit don't care about anyone from another country.

I will add that those who go there to help as their calling without either security or some means of defense are better and braver humans than I am. F that.

I'm also not sure it's our responsibility to save their a$$ in such places, but it would be un American to not try.

Oh, and how many Americans are still in Af? Anyone even know?!

Honestly, I think we've put the JSOC guys in harms way enough, I don't want to spend them in Haiti. FBI sounds perfect.

We just play too nice too often and it puts Americans in danger. DEVGRU op and call it. We want to buy the terrorist lunch and talk.

My idea is a pallet of “real” American cash, shrink wrapped, but with a MOAB stuffed in the middle. Drop it off with a C17 of troops, make the exchange and when 15 miles away, hit the detonator.
