Sens. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and Jack Reed (D-R.I.) issued a statement Saturday vowing to conduct “vigorous oversight” on Caribbean strikes after a report surfaced that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military to “kill everybody” aboard an alleged drug vessel.
“The Committee is aware of recent news reports — and the Department of Defense’s initial response — regarding alleged follow-on strikes on suspected narcotics vessels in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” the senators wrote in a joint statement.
“The Committee has directed inquires to the Department, and we will be conducting vigorous oversight to determine the facts related to the circumstances,” they added.
The Washington Post, citing sources familiar with the order, reported Friday that Hegseth gave a spoken directive early in the operation to those overseeing the strikes: “Kill everybody.”
The first mission in September reportedly required two strikes after the first failed to kill all on board.

Who is the leader?
That is the real scoundrel.
Everybody sees it except you.
Yes Mark Kelly, Senator Arizona. Retired military. Still collecting pay from you. A modern day Benedict Arnold.
They are in on it.
The “bi-partisan” wing of the treason.
Do you mean TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee? Or did I miss something?
Some are too blind to see it.
FIRSTLY,
Is the story even true and how would the WaPo know? Was it a leak or was it a lie?
Pelosi was the master of the wrap-up smear. One news outlet concocts a story and the rest of the media reports on the report. See, everyone is reporting about it. It must be true.
I am dubious about the story.
EC
I wouldn’t call Sen. Wicker ‘Libertarian’
When he’s raising concerns he’s speaking for a lot of his colleagues and therefore a lot of the country and yes, on the right..
Perhaps he knows it’s not necessarily a good policy
Pure whinny azz BS. They’ve been declared narco-terroist and carrying illegal drugs to the US and other caribibean islands. If they’re allowed to land and deliver the product it’s an invasion by illegals delivering deadly contraband. Apparently you and your kind would prefer that.
No different then the Gulf pirates attacking ships. You attack to destroy and eliminate the threat. We finally have someone who knows what the war on drugs is actually about.
So many traitors in our midst. Rand Paul being one of the worst in the Republican Party. Most all dem pols are out to harm America. We cannot back down, in fact we need to be more aggressive against the open sedition going in.
That’s way O.T.T but you’re entitled to your opinion and to vent it on here (freedom of speech is wonderful but it cuts both ways... ! )
What? NOW they want to run the army too?
Their time and effort would be better spent running a candidate of their own and getting HIM into the WH...instead of trying to subvert and impede the candidate that Americans elected.
Someone remind them how this works!
Wicker is such a piece of shiite. Take your “oversight” and shove it
On that note, Cynical Publius nails is.

“🚨BREAKING🚨:
Two sources close to the matter report that the leadership of the Open Society Foundation had a meeting this past Wednesday at a Five Guys in Bethesda, Maryland with Democrat Congressional leadership, the Sedition 6 and the editorial staffs of the Washington Post, the NY Times, ABC, CNN and NBC to coordinate a fake story about Pete Hegseth killing poor innocent civilians.
Sources reveal that the Soros-run Foundation handed out scripts for each actor in the conspiracy and large, untraceable crypto payments to cover “expenses.”
Sources further reveal that the Soros goon said: “Alright boys and girls, we f’ed-up the “unlawful order” op so we have to get that in the background, here are your new marching orders.”
The Open Society Foundation and the Sedition 6 declined to comment on this story.

For those who don’t know, this is satire.
But do you see how you can “report” ANYTHING using anonymous “sources”?
That’s how it works.”
“ Pure state murder where I come from”
Do you come from Columbia, Venezuela, or China?
We used to hang horse thieves. Usually the next day. These scumbags are far worse. They are getting their “due process.”
That’s not easy
And you know it...
I side with Hegseth on this one.
