Kelly: First Caribbean Boat Strike a War Crime
Breitbart ^ | 30 Nov 2025 | PAM KEY

Posted on 11/30/2025 12:30:38 PM PST by Mr. Mojo

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) claimed the Trump administration’s first military strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean was a “war crime.”

Host Dana Bash said, “I want to turn to new questions around the first U.S. military strike in September on a ship that the administration says was carrying drugs. Now, sources tell CNN, after the missile struck the boat, there were survivors and that a second strike was launched to kill anyone who was left. Secretary Pete Hegseth is defending the move, saying it is lawful under both U.S. and international law. What do you think?”

Kelly said, “Well, I hope it’s not true, what is being reported. That would be very disturbing. I think there needs to be an inspector general investigation. Pete Hegseth, who is totally unqualified to be Secretary of Defense. He fired a bunch of the IG’s within the department. That makes this more challenging. I don’t have a lot of confidence that he’s going to investigate that. That’s why in the Armed Services Committee in the Senate and the House, we’re going to have hearings. We’ll have public hearings. We’ll put people under oath. We need to get to the bottom of this. The U.S. military is, you know, the most powerful and effective military in the world. And we’ve got to be, you know, precise. We have to be operating in accordance with U.S. law and international law, always.”

How can there be a ‘War Crime’ when there is no ‘War’?............

Wouldn’t it be great if a couple of democrats would actually be on our side once or twice. They always seem to hate our country.

on a ship that the administration says was carrying drugs.

Dems immediately started to sprinkle the news reports with "alleged" for the heavy shipments of a fortune in narcotics on the boats. That way they can pretend the delicate "alleged" drug transporters may have been misunderstood due to unhappy childhoods or maybe they were just going fishing. Like the Maryland Dad and the rest they need more "due process." BS.

Victims of crimes here get no rights. Criminals get all the rights and protections of their guilty.

Meanwhile, another country paid them off...

“...The Government and England generally were greatly concerned about these slaves, and indeed in 1625 Charles I sent a mission to north Africa to try to buy back 2,000 British slaves...”

“...Some wealthy countries, such as Great Britain, would sign treaties with or make payments to the Barbary States, permitting their merchants to travel the seas freely. These cash payments and preferential trade agreements were called tributes...”

The whole thing is a seditious conspiracy: first, a coordinated attempt to undermine Trump's authority as CINC, then a BS story from the WaPo intended to attack Hegseth's authority and threaten the military with prosecutions for obeying lawful orders.

This has to stop: Kelly should be court martialed and the remainder arrested for sedition.

The most ironic thing is that this transparent attemp to undermine Trump's authority and sow sedition will probably make it easier for Trump to use the military to suppress the Democratic Party should that prove necessary.

Kelly and the other traitorous six are crimes themselves for being such ugly anti-American agents.

Kelly is looking more and more like Brennan as the days pass.

He didn’t mention any applicable law, so he’s just doing the Lefty fantasy BS.

It is also important to note that the new US government didn’t actually declare war on the Barbary pirates either.
