The Pentagon presser today was very confusing and fragmented.
Did he blow himself up when the US Special Operators showed up?
Did "we" kill him? Did "we" kill the kids and other bystanders? I don't think so.
My take-away:
We showed up.
The chickensh@t used a suicide vest or device to blow himself up along with his dozen or so companions.
He became a pile of goo at his own hands.
Unknown if we got DNA evidence of "killing" the right guy.
We screwed up a helicopter and blew it up as opposed to retrieving it for repair.
We "rescued" several people but there is "no one in custody" - what does that mean? Do "we" have victims/patients or not?
Based on our experience under Brandon's command in Afghanistan (droning the wrong group - we thought was responsible for the deaths of 13 troops), there is a high possibility we screwed the pooch on this "raid", too.
Just like the “mistake” in Afghanistan.
This time they used a suicide-vest excuse for their blunders.
