President Trump was right in approving the mission.
It has been in the news that the purpose of this mission was to grab a high ranking enemy.
This person escaped.
The mission was thus a failure.
That is not President Trump’s fault.
It has been reported that the enemy realized they were about to be attacked and prepared accordingly.
They started sending out radio/telephone signals saying they were going to be attacked.
These transmissions were intercepted by us and given to the Commander of this raid.
The Commander of the raid chose to continue the mission.
This person needs to be examined.
The training program that produced this Commander should be examined.
It could be that the Commander made the right decision. I hope the material they picked up was worth it.
The Democrats tried to make this about President Trump.
Again, President Trump was right to approve this mission.
Senator John McCain serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services. Did McCain have knowledge of this mission? Is McCain the leak? I wouldn’t put it past him.
I read somewhere that the target had been alerted to the mission, ‘to proceed on a moonless night’. So he would have been alerted anytime there was a new moon. And yes, it was originally planned under Obama.
Thank you for explaining it so clearly.
