1. J-SOC did fuck up didn't they? Amazing.

2. Not defending Trump but the raid was planned during the Obama administration

Don't get caught in this trap.


The New York Times reported that “President Barack Obama’s national security aides had reviewed the plans for a risky attack on a small, heavily guarded brick home of a senior Qaeda collaborator in a mountainous village in a remote part of central Yemen.” However, the article says, “Mr. Obama did not act because the Pentagon wanted to launch the attack on a moonless night and the next one would come after his term had ended.”

3. It was approved by trump...

4. And the Obama NSC deemed the intel insufficient and tabled it for Trump...

Trump called up all of his Call of Duty experts and deemed it worth the risk. It's not like any of his family was in the line of fire.

5. Are you out of your mind? If trump was competent he would have had

his minions to tests the water before sending the SEALS in harm's way. Yes, the Obama administration planned because that is what competence does. Incompetents proceed without making sure things are still safe which is what the current administration did. No excuses. GOP needs to investigate like they did Benghazi!

6. And Obama was smart enough to not give the order.

Time has gone by which I would think might justify updating the intel. Lazy Trump and his minions were too lazy to think things through and ordered the military to proceed. Trump and his minions own this disaster 1000%

And Trump couldn't even be bothered to monitor the mission from the Situation Room. His first order as CIC and you would think that he would have been more invested in the rpocess.
