If al-Awlaki’s kids move back here, they will be just as eligible then.

I’m sure that’s exactly what the founders had in mind...../s

It is reported that the roof of the landing building held women with machine guns behind sandbags, and that they fired at the landing helicopter.

“...it’s evident that the mission didn’t go according to plan.”

They never do. The SEALs’ greatness is that they adapt and overcome better than anybody on Planet Earth.

New York Daily News has headline Donald Trump just got people needlessly killed in military raid: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/king-trump-people-needlessly-killed-military-raid-article-1.2962358

I understand the source and who the author is. What can I say though about the content to refute this story?

“Sean Spicer (WH spokesperson) said that it’s hard to call a mission where there is loss of life (of our side) a “complete” success. He had said that on two separate press release dates. I think that the statement is accurate, especially taken in the contexts of what he was explaining.”

^^^^^^

Thanks for the clarification and perspective. I should have looked for the exact quote before posting. It’s just that these threads move so fast and I wanted to counter part of the original article.
