The domestic terrorist behind the Orlando nightclub massacre was motivated by a Pentagon drone strike in Iraq a month before the shooting, according to police transcripts made public last week.
Conversations between Omar Mateen and an Orlando police negotiator on June 12 were kept secret by FBI and local police until Friday. The secrecy contributed to misleading media accounts of the terrorist’s motives in the days after the killings.
...
“Yo, the air strike that killed Abu Wahid a few weeks ago… that’s what triggered it, okay?” said Mateen, who earlier in the conversation identified himself as a follower the Islamic State terror group.
“They should have not bombed and killed Abu Wahid,” the former security guard declared. “Do your ****ing homework and figure out who Abu Wahid is, okay?”
Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said that Wahib — a former member of al Qaeda in Iraq — has appeared in several ISIS execution videos. Cook described him as the militant group's "military emir for Anbar province."

Wahib, who was born in 1986, was arrested by U.S. forces in Iraq and sentenced to death but escaped prison in 2012. Over the last few years, Wahib has been falsely declared dead on several occasions.
so in other words instead of "protesting" a drome strike in iraq by going after the US military, he decided to go after a gay night club instead? i smell a huge load of Bravo Sierra here.

Well, he is in Florida and hears about the drone strike and gets angry at the US - is he going to go back to Iraq to "protest"? Doesn't make sense to me.
Obama's admin has gotten really good at this. Lie about the motives, hide the evidence, and then wait and release it months later wheh most people no longer care.
And of course, the media assists.
If Hillary wins, we'll get at least 4 more years of lies and cover ups.

I posted the transcripts. It says what it says.
he didnt have to go to iraq to attack the US military, there are these things in florida called military bases, he could have tried to shoot up one of those. or he could have tried to shoot up military recruiting offices, they are also around in florida where he ws. or he could have even shot up a federal building, again there are a few in florida.
instead he chooses to protest by shooting up a gay bar. like i said, i smell a huge load of bravo sierra here.
