NBC News: No 'Actionable Intelligence' From Yemen Raid Say Officials (unnamed source, right)
NBC News via Newsmax ^ | 2/27/2017 | Cathy Burke

Posted on 02/27/2017 7:01:39 PM PST by Cold War Veteran - Submarines

The deadly Jan. 28 commando raid in Yemen in which Navy SEAL William "Ryan" Owens died hasn't so far yielded any significant intelligence, NBC News reported Monday night.

Although Pentagon officials have said the raid produced "actionable intelligence," unnamed senior officials said they were unaware of any, NBC News reported.

I think they need an in depth investigation of the CIA, Pentagon, NSA to determine which Obama moles gave the heads up to the terrorists. I have no doubt, repeat, no doubt that one of those turds leaked the raid information.

Worse they probably lied about the Intel’s usefulness. That’s a treason level offense in my book. Hang em.

I do not believe for an effing second that there is a leak. NBC is free to make up whatever they want and how can it be disputed? Even if there is a leak how do we know he/she is in the know? How can we test their credibility?

The MSM has been getting away with this crapola for years. Until Trump, nobody was calling them on it. They know that they can cite to unnamed sources and the admin can’t refute it without blowing top secret information.

probably verified by Brian Williams and cross-checked by Snopes.

So if there was any actionable intelligence, the details would have been given to the press, and since that didn’t happen, the mission was a disaster? These people are completely insane!

Exactly! NBC and Chuckie Combover Todd want a dossier of the actionable intelligence, pronto, so they can do a Power Point on air.

There isn’t even necessarily any leaking—if there was actionable intelligence, and the person quoted said they weren’t aware of any, that would be perfectly normal because the intelligence would be CLASSIFIED, and available only to those who needed to know the information.

Total BS headline—just because some official is unaware of information does not mean it does not exist. This story is unbelievably either stupid or dishonest. Probably both.

"Unnamed source with crap information."

Probably the same unnamed source that let the target know SEALS were on the way.

Inserting the word “Actionable” does not mean it isn’t valuable....

It appears that La La Land was blown up by the BLM movement Sunday night too.

I still want to know if some traitorous Obama muslim holdover in Washington hung President Trump out to dry by passing word to the bad guys that the Bayda province attack was coming.

Early stories indicated that the forces in Yemen seemed to be prepped and waiting and that’s why there was an unexpected firefight.

If so they would have also removed any important intelligence before the raid.

And it matters not a wit to them how much more pain and anguish they cause the fallen soldier’s family, just so long as they can try and make Trump look bad! There are people that need to be imprisoned and others that just need to be........
