Military sources are contradicting Pres. Donald Trump’s claim that the botched raid in Yemen on Jan. 29 was “a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence.”
According to Steve Benen at the TheMaddowBlog, 10 sources within the military and intelligence communities have spoken to NBC News to say that the raid that cost Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens and 29 civilians their lives actually yielded no intelligence that was “actionable or viable.”
“The Pentagon says Navy SEALs scooped up laptops, hard drives and cell phones in last month’s Yemen raid, but multiple U.S. officials told NBC News that none of the intelligence gleaned from the operation so far has proven actionable or vital – contrary to what President Trump said in his speech to Congress Tuesday,” said an NBC report.
“(N)o truly significant intelligence has emerged from the haul,” the report said. “One senior Pentagon official described the information gathered as ‘de minimis,’ and as material the U.S. already knew about.”
