I'm going to say it. tRump's first raid on Al Qaeda was a disaster.

[ffr]

We had a Navy Seal KIA, an 8 y.o. girl dead, four more injured, and lost a $72 million V-22 Osprey, in the first boots-on-the-ground raid under tRump's authoritarian rule.

Not to take anything away from our brave men and women in the military. I have nothing but praise for their skill and courage.

However, looking through tRump's eyes, THIS WAS A DISASTER. A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER.
This is the guy who says he ALONE can defeat ISIS and knows more about doing that than the generals do.

Our American tragedy enters its 14th day.

1. I am sure president bannon

2. Yep, and that is why you use a drone unless you need DNA

3. i remember how much flak carter got after the failed hostage rescue attempt

though that was well planned, iirc they got caught up in a surprise sand storm or something.

this was one was a self-inflicted wound.

but will everyone blame donnie for this the way they blamed carter for the sand storm?

nah, he's a republican, they're awesome with all things military, all evidence to the contrary....

4. Another extra-judicial execution disguised as a war on terror.

Dealing out death to civilians as a way of showing that dealing out death to civilians is wrong.

A rare example of bi-partisan agreement.

5. I haven't heard whether they got the intel they were after.

Something about phones and maybe computers.

6. OBAMA said NO due to insufficient/bad intelligence. . .
