Trump goes after former POW McCain after he criticizes botched Yemen raid: 'He's been losing so long he doesn't know how to win anymore'
Senator John McCain said the op 'cannot be labeled a success' because a Seal and an American girl died
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters on Wednesday that the raid was 'absolutely a success' despite McCain's comments
Said criticizing Yemen mission does 'disservice' to dead Navy SEAL
President Donald Trump tore into Arizona Sen. John McCain this morning, claiming that the former prisoner of war has been 'losing so long he doesn't know how to win anymore.'
McCain and Trump have never seen eye-to-eye on foreign policy, and the Republican senator has been especially critical of the president's first special op, a raid in Yemen on an al Qaeda affiliate.
The White House has repeatedly said the assault was a 'success,' even though a Navy SEAL and an eight-year-old American girl died in the crossfire.
'While many of the objectives of the recent raid in Yemen were met, I would not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success,' McCain rebutted.
Trump said Thursday morning that McCain should keep his opinions to himself - criticism of the operation 'only emboldens the enemy!' Yemen withdrew permission for some US Special Ops missions on Tuesday Decision comes after the botched raid that killed Yemeni civilians on January 29 Trump's first military order as president killed Navy SEAL William 'Ryan' Owens Yemen's ambassador said their cooperation shouldn't come at Yemen's expense

Why isn’t McCain retired?
He really is total POS.
Sen. “Songbird”.
McNuts crashes 3 planes and sets his own ship on fire yeah he knows what success is about.
‘He’s been losing so long he doesn’t know how to win anymore’
That’s the entire Washington GOP. They need to grow up and man up and fight.
Trump should have McShame release his military records. He is hiding the fact that he was a fu*k up and was written up for treason by the senior POW at Hanoi Hilton.
The sucking ‘Song bird’ needs to clean up the VA to the Veterans’ satisfaction and retire having finally done something right.
That would be an exceptionally foolish thing to do.
I will not throw stones at Captain McCain.
Senator McCain is a braying jackass, and not very smart. Certainly not as smart as he thinks he is. He should shut the hell up and quit proving to us his absolute idiocy.
He went after a senator who is a horses a$$, there you go.
‘While many of the objectives of the recent raid in Yemen were met, I would not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success,’ McCain rebutted.
Hmm...we lost lives in WWI and WWII...guess those were not successes....
McCain needs to retire.
