"Useless" Yemen Raid Gave Us Names of Al Qaeda Terrorists in the West
Front Page ^ | March 3, 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Remember that "worthless" Yemen raid that produced "no actionable intelligence" and was a complete "failure". Aside from yielding the numbers of hundreds of Al Qaeda terrorists. Including some in the West.

Several US officials told CNN Thursday that the US is now taking action to locate and monitor hundreds of people or "contacts" found as part the intelligence retrieved during the deadly raid last month in Yemen targeting al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

Some of these people are believed to be in the West, but not in the United States

Democrats and the media report the Yemen raid was useless.

They are lying.

Why is anyone reporting on the content & consequence of the raid AT ALL?

Have they ever told the truth about anything, ever?

I am not a military expert.

But, if they hit a heavily armed Al Qaeda nest...

They probably are on the right track.

And, as far as I am concerned, any children or women (btw most of which were armed and firing) killed there - the responsibility if solely on their terrorist husbands, fathers whatnot.

“Why is anyone reporting on the content & consequence of the raid AT ALL?”

From the article:

“Several US officials told CNN Thursday that the US is now taking action to locate and monitor hundreds of people or “contacts” found as part the intelligence retrieved during the deadly raid last month in Yemen targeting al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.”

Common sense would say that a raid on an Al Qaeda site would provide useful info.

My point is that the media are lying to attack Trump and I am trying to make people aware of it.

Sorry, you will have to settle for Jeff Flake (aptly named) in AZ next year, and you will have to wait to unseat Graham until 2020 and McLame in 2022. A$$hole Senators are “the gift that keeps on giving” with their six year terms.

Is it within the power of a state to recall someone who is proving to be the enemy of OUR Republic? Graham and McCain are owned by someone other than We The People.

CNN and their friends within the government.
