I wonder if the selection was made by the POTUS himself. Given the success of the SEALs in liberating the
Maersk Alabama, perhaps the president felt a certain comfort level in tasking them for this raid.
Also, by sending the navy rather than the army, the president can make ever more clear his intention to withdraw ground forces and to keep them home as GWOT continues.
