White House officials were quick to emphasize that President Obama “was notified of the operation but didn’t sign off on it.”

What an enervating mix of political expediency and plain old cowardice from the so-called commander.

How many were actually rescued? It looks like the video is running on a loop!

During this operation, Army Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler was shot while moving to help pinned-down Kurdish forces, and he later died from his wounds.

Heartfelt condolences to the family of Master Sgt. Wheeler.

The administration contends that the raid did not constitute “combat”

Of course they deny it, it doesn't fit their narrative!!
