To justify the attack, and call it a success, the Pentagon released a video that they recovered in the raid - a 10 year old Al Qaeda propaganda video:

Yeah that video release smacks of a failed cover-up by the tRump administration. And as we all know, the cover-up is worse than the crime.

How painfully true.

Someone leaked because Trump IS bad.

Trump is unfit to be lead. That should have been clear the day he dissed John McCain.

A little harsh, but the truth. And sometimes the truth hurts.

Henry Kissinger said "Military Men Are Just Dumb, Stupid Animals To Be Used As Pawns In Foreign Policy".

What more do you need to hear?

I wonder did this father ever talk to his son about this? The son was married with 3 kids, ever say at one point "you know you have been involved in several missions, maybe it's time to rethink priorities, you have children to think about".

It's like these military couples who are both deployed and have young children. No one thinks, maybe one of us should get out, we have children.

There is no mention by the father in the risk his son was taking.

So painfully true. I feel for the families of our soldiers who will give their lives fulfilling the orders from this man.

The Dad was military, too. These families know the risk. However, the immediate RISK is having a stupid and unqualified Commander in Chief.

What exactly did Obama do? I know Bush signed the TARP.

So nobody worries about this dead Navy seal then? Maybe we should told the dad.

Remember when John McCain said you don't use those words to describe a mission in which an American life was lost? Obama screwed up too, but one big difference is that Trump accepts no accountabiiity for anything and wants credit for everything.
Hello? What about Bengazhi?
