VoteVets Calls for Hearings On Yemen Raid

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON, DC – On behalf of its 500,000 supporters, including veterans and military families, and Gold Star families, VoteVets.org is supporting the call of Bill Owens, father of fallen SEAL Ryan Owens, to investigate the raid in Yemen, ordered by Donald Trump.  
 
In a statement, Jon Soltz, Iraq War Veteran and Chairman of VoteVets.org said:
 
“If the Congress can find time to hold multiple and repetitive hearings into Benghazi, it can certainly find the time to hold a single hearing into the botched Yemen raid, ordered by Donald Trump.

Unlike the internal review done by the military, which cannot examine the decision-making process at the top, Congress must look into the process used by Donald Trump to approve this raid – the very raid that President Obama chose not to green-light.  
 
Specifically, we need to know how much of a role Steve Bannon played in giving the go-ahead.  We know Bannon was at the dinner where Trump gave the order.  We know that Bannon, subsequently, was named to the National Security Council.  If an unqualified political operative has outsized influence in approving military operations, like the Yemen raid, we need to know that – right now.  We also need to know how much of a role Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, played in making the decision to launch the raid, as Kushner was also at the dinner.

1. Congress is attempting to keep Americans in the dark by dragging

their feet on any investigation, hoping this all goes away. "Business as usual" on these botched military matters won't cut it any more, especially in the light of the extensive Bengazi hearings.

We demand answers.
