This whole mess in Niger sounds and feels like one big Cluster and the fat man and his generals need to start supplying some information and answers to questions that are swirling around this botched mission.
How does a simple reconnaissance mission turn into an ambush and bloody slaughter of our overmatched and outgunned soldiers?
How does a soldier get left behind on the battlefield to rot for 48 hours?
Why after over two weeks do we not have a peep out of the WH on any of the details?
Why is Senator McCain now stating that he feels a coverup and a slow walking of information?
This is disgraceful and let's see if Trump/repubs go as hard on this spectacle as they did on Benghazi!
Fun fact: When anything that involves a death in the military goes down, there is always an investigation. In other words they are ahead of them in that quest.

Hell, Niger is so worthless that it's questionable whether we should have an embassy there.
It's because there are terrorist groups there...the same ones we are fighting in the middle east. It's also part of the train, advise, assist deal.

Oh please, not another investigation.
How about we try to, you know, get something done with legislation instead? You know, what they are supposed to be doing.

Last I checked, it's October 2017 and the fat man is now Commander in Chief not BO!
This is on his watch and if he wants to take credit for the stock market, than he needs to own up and fess up to Niger, as he can't have it both ways - got it now!
So, what does the stock market (which he has every right to take credit for) have to do with Niger?
Kind of like republicans were attempting to blame the tragedy on September 11, on Bill Clinton when GDubya was the president as it happened on his watch.

45 is in charge now. he can't take credit for only the good things and distance himself from the bad things that happen on his watch. of course, he TRIES to do that but he's not fooling 90% of the people.

Happens and the most easily mission can be the worst day of ones Life. If it was recon we ar only talking about a 5-8 man team anyway.
Liberals do not understand Military issues anyway!

It is on his watch and bad things happen when you do stupid things and one of the stupid things he has done is not bring the troops home but indeed Obama was the complete idiot that sent them there. I complained (with very few others) about the stupidity of what we were doing but few others did.
There were always excuses. When you refuse to condemn stupidity it only gets worse. Have you learned anything at all yet?
and how urgently did the outgoing Clinton administration warn bush about alqeida?
very urgently. it was ignored by bush and cheney. they wanted to invade Iraq instead.
