Senior Obama administration officials say the U.S. military launched a secret mission earlier this summer to rescue a number of Americans held captive by militants in Syria but failed to find them.

Typically, the MSM is saying the OP was "botched." They did exactly what they were trained to do (kill the enemy) and they did it without any KIA among the raiders. So the hostages weren't there. That's not a botched operation, that's a failure of INTEL. That's also probably a leak from the Oval warning the tango's to skedaddle with their prizes. So send in the D-Boys or DEVGRU just to make it look good....

This sounds way too much like Nixon’s secret plan to end the Veetnam war. He was full of krap then and the Grand Kenyan is full of the same stuff now. The White Hut bunch has no business at all releasing details or any info at all of a dark action. Even as a head fake it will get someone killed and that makes spouting off about it TREASONOUS.

If that is the case, why did Obama not trade the 5 Gitmo big shots for them instead of for Bergdahl, a deserter and Jihadi collaborator.

You're assuming Obama has the interests of the American people on his mind.

When it comes to the government and USA MSM, cynical is now my middle name. They play us as fools and idiots that we should listen to while they screw every American while helping their owners. ISIS is now the threat? We Americans need to look at war by deception.

John Bolton (Undersecretary of state under Bush) just said that the information should have been kept secret for 50 years....and that the person who helped us with the detail is in danger of being killed if he is not already dead.

This is what Barry and Co. meant by transparency.

Sorry, I’m calling B.S on this one.

This is NOTHING but an attempt by the Pretender In Chief tomake himself look good.

Now we know the truth.

Prior to JUNE, the POTUS was advised that the hostages had been located in Syria. So, I guess that wasn’t as important as the President’s campaigning/vacation and days and days of golf.

Unable to act, the admin waited too long and the hostages were moved before they got their act together.

It’s no wonder the world doesn’t want to work with us .. if their lives depend on us .. this admin has PROVED they cannot be relied upon. How did America get so stupid and elect such a horrible president ..?????
