Fighters for al Qaeda were apparently prepared for Donald Trump's first military raid as President, it has been claimed.

An eight-year-old American girl and a SEAL Team Six member have been named after they were killed in President Trump's first military raid, in which officials have said 'almost everything went wrong.'

It involved 'boots on the ground' at an al Qaeda camp near al Bayda in south central Yemen, officials confirmed in a statement to NBC.

An official told the news outlet that the raid was directed from a US base in Djibouti.

Officially, it was to search for 'information that will likely provide insight into the planning of future terrorist plots'.

A US official told ABC News that SEAL Team Six members took a Marine MV-22 from a Gulf of Aden-based ship, the USS Makin Island, to get to the compound on a moonless night....

Remember the surly and hate filled faces of Obama’s White House staff the day after the election?

Our troops knew going in they’d been compromised but went anyway.

Filthy stinking toxic swamp.

These Democrats will do anything to cause Trump to fail—even treachery if True they should be arrested and tried for treason against the state and sent to Max. Security Prison (or Gitmo). If Trump is so hated he can not be respected—maybe he should be feared!

Unfeakingbelievable.

I’m sure Trump’s people are digging very deep. Too bad there are so many vermin in deecee still working, and I’m sure some of those who appear to be pro-Trump are not at all, that is surely a big problem too. Maybe recent hires...

The Pak brothers caught stealing classified Congressional files were said to be heavily in debt, making them ripe for blackmail.

The SEALS would most likely have been inserted by Pave Low helos.

The Ospreys would have carried a Marine TRAP force and have landed some miles away at a remote LZ.

No counter measures for barking dogs. SEALS and DELTA have been warned for years about this, and keep tiptoeing in and having their cover blown. It was likely the TRAP force that caused all the damage.

BTW those were not Apaches, but Cobra Zulu helos.

Congressional staff. Unusual that Congress would be informed of an upcoming military operation in an undeclared war. OTOH, Obama had the ball up through Jan 20th, and if the date was more or less finalized by then, ...

... then imho Trump could have at least in theory changed the date or pulled the plug. If however, a delay meant other lives were to be put at risk, then that would have presented Trump with a Hobbesian choice...

Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan, and Hina Alvi.

Hmmmm, could they possibly be M......er...never mind, thinking this would be a hate crime.

"Mouseketeers?" No, I think they're too young.

It’s not clear. They might be Indian. Coverage of them and their crime has disappeared.

Rush Limbaugh featured it on his morning update this AM.

>>Hopefully the Owan brothers are being waterboarded as we speak.<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I want to know EXACTLY who was involved in recommending, background-checking and hiring these spies.

I think they got at least one American killed that we know about. Probably many more.

The Democrats who are not treasonous are STUPID BEYOND BELIEF. These spies, put in charge of top secret info of the United States, were NOT EVEN CITIZENS!
