So TF what?

[Vermont Lt]

Okay. And their point is?

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

Oh Boo Hoo. Poor boy should have been left alone.

[Williams]

Because the “professionals” should make every decision and the president should just say “oh ok”. /s

[Titus-Maximus]

Fake news.

[DIRTYSECRET]

To me the issue is the article that refer to ‘limited’ cia resources going to the hunt. BS. The ‘resources’ are classified and no one knows the budget. The article suggests he’s innocent and not proven guilty.

[Williams]

You read their nonsense and it only reveals their stupidity, if they never considered that Bin Laden’s son could become more of a rallying point for Al Queda radicals.

Because, duh, they have also “heard of him”.

Prioritize - that’s what presidents do.

[tinyowl]

Actually, the highest priority target is the one the President decides is the highest priority target.

I don't remember the media picking at whether Obama was targeting this or that terrorist first or second.

[plain talk]

“Trump - who doesn’t read or digest detailed intelligence assessments”

Obama did not even meet with them.

Detailed intelligence? Not sure any recent Presidents mess with that ... except perhaps Jimmy Carter and look how much it helped him.

[petitfour]

This is liberal code for “if you can’t kill the king, go after his children.”

[whatexit]

Once again POTUS being insubordinate to his subordinates. Sounds impeachable! /S

[bert]

NBC News is Comcast

Comcast is an American enemy more dangerous then Russia or Iran

[Skooz]

Seriously?

THIS is how low the media is scraping for “dirt” on Trump?

Seriously?

[Leep]

Trump pushed CIA to find, kill Jim Acosta

[Popman]

Media idiots, In Trumps world the son of OBL is a very viable target.

Very much like the mob, eventually sons take up the family beefs.

[Zhang Fei]

The level of insubordination among the tax-eating bureaucrats in the Feddle government is pretty disgusting.

[newzjunkey]

And yet they admit he green-lighted, "perhaps the most significant names on the CIA list" so where's the issue?

Also, they sneak in there OBL's son is on the list.

It's up to them to inform, recommend, educate but I'm tired of them whining about his strategic directions. In the infamous words of George W Bush, Trump is "the decider."

[UnwashedPeasant]

"former CIA official Douglas London"

There is a reason this Leftist is "former."

[McGavin999]

Hey Media leftists, you had the White House for 8 years, why didn’t your guy eliminate those higher priority targets? Maybe because they weren’t interested?

[Reily]

This guy is just auditioning for a security advisor position in someone’s campaign or at least doing PR for an Intel Community contract.
