Hmmm. My understanding is that the op was planned late during the last administraton and given a green light by the current admin. Knowing how the previous admin liked to share info...................... Just sayin'. "Hey isis/is/isil/daesh. We're planning an op for Sunday afternoon around 1500 hrs. Just wanted to give you a heads up."

[Grampa Dave]

If the timing and place of this attack was leaked, let the Seal Team survivors deal with the leakers.

Not kill them, just let the leakers know that they will be exposed to the world and watched by current and past military people.

[Sacajaweau]

You really thing a SEAL member talked to the Times about the action.

I gotta bridge....

[Principled]

Yeah I’m pretty sure 0bama wanted this to happen and had something to do with it being shared with the enemy. I’m pretty sure there are some hollywood types who are happy about it too.

Trump is a very quick study. He’s got this.

[Red Badger]

Yes, if the Trump Administration can find a mole in the system.....................

[grania]

A speculation I made when we knew about both the raid and the temporary ban from those seven countries is that the bad guys knew about the raid and there was concern they were going to get on planes to the US.

Would I put it past loyalists to the previous administration to have let information get out? Hmmmmm.......

Varney mentioned the same thing this morning.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Fake news.

[KevinB]

Obama tipped them off.

[rightwingcrazy]

Did the SEALs fail the planned mission? The article implies it.

[shoedog]

The NY Times piece was lengthy. When was the last time anyone remembers them doing a detailed piece on one of Obama’s raids when there was a death to an American soldier and civilians were killed?

[RedWulf]

Wait, did Obama’s people leak this raid to the terrorists?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Bowbama gave them the heads up? (tinfoil hat for me?)

[TADSLOS]

“They kind of knew they were screwed from the beginning,” a former SEAL Team 6 member told The New York Times.

Uh huh...

[PLMerite]

I think we should precede every raid with a little “softening up” by a B-52 Wing.

Craterize a square mile of Injun Country every time and it’ll start having an effect.

[VRWCarea51]

It’s tragic that a SEAL lost his life. It is pathetic to think the information on locations and possible targets could have been feed to the Terrorists by people Like Valarie Jarrett or the Head of the CIA-Brennen.

I hope that all information that was passed on from Obama’s NSC is hence forth considered as compromised Intel.

[SW6906]

Would not surprise me in the slightest if one day it comes out that someone in the Obama Administration alerted the terrorists so that this mission failure would make Trump look bad. Yes, they are THAT far gone in their hatred of Trump.

[Jim Noble]

They got a call from Necker Island.

[kiryandil]

U.S. officials say they are unsure how the terrorist group figured out the upcoming raid.

Former president & Muslim-In-Chief 0bama alerted his Al-Qaeda homies.

[proust]

Why are seals still being used for this raids? They seem to have a pretty high fatality rate in these cases.

[zzwhale]

why a seal op inthe first place...
communications are always monitored .... for example telcons between al queda and 17 feb martyrs brigade was montiored for two months planning the benghazi assault...
and what about air support.. isnt that used anymore..???
in nam 4 seals could hold off 500 cong with air support... and did
seems sts is being set up and decimated by a traitor...
