U.S. military probing more possible civilian deaths in Yemen raid http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-commando-idUSKBN15G5RX?feedType=RSS&feedName=newsOne The U.S. military said on Wednesday it was looking into whether more civilians were killed in a raid on al Qaeda in Yemen on the weekend, in the first operation authorized by President Donald Trump as commander in chief. U.S. Navy SEAL William “Ryan” Owens was killed in the raid on a branch of al Qaeda, also known as AQAP, in al Bayda province, which the Pentagon said also killed 14 militants. However, medics at the scene said about 30 people, including 10 women and children, were killed. U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations. As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists. President pussygrabber is not just qualified to be COC Yemen - Yemen - Yemen! - Why did trump send in the military without proper preperation, intelligence and support???? This looks like something the House of Representatives should investigate - maybe investigate 4 times.............. |

Well armed and trained troops were sent in by aircraft ,with backup by helicopter gunships...They were not told they were going to a picnic...I am trying to visualize you in combat...Refusing to attack unless a ticker tape parade was assured to be the enemy greeting............. :oyvey |

This is the same John McCain who participated in a communist propaganda radio broadcast in North Vietnam and praised the good medical care they gave him...Like Trump, I prefer heroes who are not captured...............
