Benedict Donald Blows His First Chance To Make Us Safe

[Juan de Fuca]

The president not only blows the mission that killed a heroic American soldier and killed scores of civilians, he causes the country at the center of the turmoil to withdraw permission for any future counter terror operations guaranteeing that ISIS will continue to grow and prosper there.



New York Times

WASHINGTON — Angry at the civilian casualties incurred last month in the first commando raid authorized by President Trump, Yemen has withdrawn permission for the United States to run Special Operations ground missions against suspected terrorist groups in the country, according to American officials.

Grisly photographs of children apparently killed in the crossfire of a 50-minute firefight during the raid caused outrage in Yemen. A member of the Navy’s SEAL Team 6, Chief Petty Officer William Owens, was also killed in the operation.

Didn't happen to Obama in eight years.

How is that Congressional investigation going into those three brothers for Democrats IT specialists who were abruptly fired last week? Any news if they were the leak that tipped off Al Qaeda?

And who in charge of the mission, knowing full well that AQ had been tipped off ordered Special Ops to continue and then engage in the firefight?

When has a Congressional investigation ever got to the bottom of something? I would like an answer to your second question also.

Note to Yemen Government: Tell your terrorists that it's not a swell idea to bring your wife and your kids to the battlefield.

If they die, the onus is on them.

Again, this wouldn't have happened if Trump had actually read the briefing book, or had some clue how to run an operation.

No, we're thinking that Obama was more careful with the permissions he was given. He didn't get told he couldn't stage anti-terrorist missions in Yemen.

Trump got the US kicked out of Yemen so that now, the US can't go in there and kill the terrorists. Well done, Donnie!

try this.....

In a speech at National Defense University in May 2013, Obama promised to provide more transparency about targeted killings.

It took three years, but in July the White House said up to 164 civilians had been killed in 473 airstrikes during Obama’s tenure, and that most involved drones. The tally did not include the wars in Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan.

Independent groups put the death toll much higher, saying hundreds of civilians were killed outside the war zones, and many hundreds more in them.
President Obama, who hoped to sow peace, instead led the nation in war

You do know more soldiers died in Afghanistan under Obama than Bush? Because of his incompetence?

No country denied us access to counter terror ops even after all that. Isn't that remarkable.

 

[Juan de Fuca]

I enjoy the fact that Sean Spicer was quick to pipe up and deny that this operation had anything to do with killing or capturing any specific leader. It's always good to know where the source for "Fake news" comes from.

Man if these three brothers and the wife of one of them was leaking this is really really bad.

They had an external server that House information was being funnelled to. WOW. Just getting up to speed on it.

I'm going to start a thread on it.

Too bad that not just one, but two, formal Congressional investigations found no evidence of wrongdoing. You should probably retire your cheerleader outfit it really doesn't fit anymore.

is that what you were saying?....or were you saying no civilians died under obama?....your story mentioned both....and yeman will let us back in because they were not doing that great on their own ....but if they dont,then thats their problem,civilians die over there all the time because of the animals we were helping them fight.....and they know this....if this happened under obama they would have bitched but let it go on....they are just jumping on the "i hate trump" bandwagon....like so many others....
