FULL HEADLINE: America's FAILED raid to rescue James Foley: White House reveals how US special forces stormed ISIS camp just a month ago - only to find hostages weren't there...as Obama goes back to his golf
Several dozen special-operations forces attempted to rescue Americans held hostage by ISIS in Syria earlier this summer but failed, it was revealed Wednesday following the graphic release of a video showing the gruesome beheading of photojournalist James Foley. The mission was carried out earlier this summer but failed because the hostages had been moved by the time U.S. forces arrived for the rescue, according to statements released by the White House and State Department
'This operation involved air and ground components and was focused on a particular captor network within ISIL,' the State Department statement reads. 'Unfortunately, the mission was not successful because the hostages were not present at the targeted location.'
Officially, the administration said it would not release more details on the raid, but sources told the New York Times that the mission was carried out by two dozen special-ops members, who were dropped off in Syria in early July and were met with gunfire.

There was no raid.
Simple.
0bummer wants in all cases to make US look week. Plan was never intended to succeed.
They could have still been successful if they’d have hung around and killed islamists until they ran out of ammo or islamists...
I trust ISIS’ tweets more than this Admin. ISIS can’t take a dump without tweeting it. You think they engaged American special forces and just forgot about it?
The only thing missing from Carter is corpses and helicopters in the desert. You can bet ObOzO put such severe limitations that failure was assured.
You know, when Zero came back to DC for a few hours earlier this week, I wondered if there was an op underway - and there is the rumor that ISIS captured seven SOF guys - I wonder if there was a second attempt that went bad...
funny - he didn’t have any trouble getting a deserter out
How can an operation be characterized as "flawless," if the ultimate objective of the operation was a total fail??
Do I need to go back to school to learn the new version of my First Language?
