The White House said Wednesday that Sen. John McCain "owes an apology" for saying that the Yemen raid last month wasn't a success because a Navy SEAL lost his life.
McCain released a statement late Tuesday night saying that many of the objectives in the raid in Yemen, which killed 14 al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula terrorists and collected some intelligence, were met, but that it shouldn't be deemed successful if an American died.
"I would not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success," McCain said.
Senior Chief William "Ryan" Owens was killed during the raid, and four other Americans were wounded as part of the raid. The U.S. military has acknowledged that civilians were likely killed and a V-22 Osprey crashed and was destroyed.

Trying to burn down an aircraft carrier is not a great success either.

Finally, someone realizes it’s the right thing to do, to put John McCain back into his box.
It’s about damned time!
Send this bastard back to home to grow moldy there, out of our earshot.
We’ve got a Tasmanian Devil who never sleeps in the White House!
He maintains 360º perimeter surveillance 24/7/365!
McCain is an ass. So by his reasoning, D-Day was a failure, what a moron.

WW2 was a failure.
I want to know if McPantStain said similar things each time one of Obama’s raids resulted in MULTIPLE soldier’s deaths?!?
‘While many of the objectives of the recent raid in Yemen were met, I would not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success,’ McCain rebutted.
With this one statement this FOOL demeans every sacrifice made by every American on the battlefield.
He is a disgrace.
WWII, WWI, Civil War, etc., etc.
Hey, McCain, how about any pilot who destroys his aircraft isn’t successful?
I would also ask this FOOL to visit Arlington.
He can ask for forgiveness there.
Arizona should be ashamed to keep electing this man.
They won’t be, they will re-elect him again and his side-kick Flake in 2018.
I am ashamed of my fellow Arizona citizens for re-electing McCain. Last November I did the unthinkable (for me) and voted for McCain’s democrat opponent.
Flake may be even worse. He is up for re-election in 2018. So far Flake has no credible Republican opposition. I may have to vote Dem again.
I would not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success,’ McCain rebutted. ........................ I guess we can apply Marshal Stalin’s rule too? “Any prisoner in captivity of the enemy, is not a prisoner, he is a traitor”? I am beginning to believe the statement made by one of the Hanoi Hilton prisoners, when he said: Mc Cain was the only prisoner who left weighing more than when he came in.”
Flake is just as bad there has to be someone cmon AZ
Apparently our involvement in 2 world wars was also unsuccessful, and the north was unsuccessful in our civil war.
Of course, we don’t exist, because the founding fathers were unsuccessful in the revolutionary war.
I did the same in 2012 against Cantor when the first attempt at Cantorizing him failed.
We took him out in 2014.
Anyone note an uptick in negative reports coming from Afghanistan? Jennifer Griffin of Fox News just reported, “President Trump only mentioned Afghanistan once when he met with commanders at Centcom this week, the subject hardly surfaced in the campaign trail, causing some to ask if Afghanistan has again become America’s forgotten war”
So after eight years of Obamas “good” war in Afghanistan, casualties kept secret, barely any mention at all, hardly any media questions.... NOW it has suddenly become Trumps forgotten war.
