United States military and intelligence officials are still piecing together what happened early Saturday that sabotaged an attempt to rescue two hostages from al Qaeda in Yemen.

Soon CNN will headline “Operation was a Complete Success. Unfortunately, the Hostages didn’t Survive.”
LOL! So sad, but probably true.
Perhaps a phone call from Barry.
Makes one wonder if any of those “militants” have any captured night vision or other special technology.
Good question. At least Carter's failed mission was to rescue employees of the US Government, that was understandable.
I could have sworn OBAMA said Al Qaida was destroyed. He didn’t lie about that did he? (Joe Wilson should get the Freedom Award).
And the initial reporting said the poor guy had been moved prior to the raid, not killed during the raid. It isn't as if there was any kind of info fog due to rapidly moving events, this raid happened last month.
We know the MSM is always seeking to cover for this administration - why the misinformation?

“about six al Qaeda fighters were killed”
In itself, a very good thing. Just too bad it couldn’t have been 6,000.
Pretty hard on troops and hostages for a religion of peace.

Perhaps a reading of President Franklin Roosevelt's Message and Prayer on June 6, 1945, might serve to remind us of things that once mattered in the life of the nation and its leaders. From the FDR Library, read the original of this Prayer. Or, listen to the voice of the President as he delivered that prayer on national radio.
Thank the lord it wasnt a republican president or this would be front page news for weeks on end
Could have been a perimeter trip wire but then SpcOps should expect that, I would think.
Agreed! Demolish a 9 sq. block area to dust!
Once this becomes common practice, the so-called slime civies will vacate the area around the site, clearly indicating that hostages are being held there.
They probably heard Biden ask ....are we there yet ?
If this raid just happened today, there were two raids. One several days ago where we rescued a bunch of people (8?) from other countries and killed 6-7 terrorists. But they missed the Americans that had been moved a few days earlier.
Now this raid to get the Americans. The previous raid included Yemen military to help us. I wonder if the “sound” may have been poor discipline from one of those guys. Or at worst a shout-out from someone to his brother-in-law the terrorist.
Time to put the varsity back in.
Or Jodie Evans
