Pure political announcement playing to a domestic audience. This should never have been revealed publicly.
yeah that’s the ticket..... tried a rescue but couldn’t find them..... yeah that’s it couldn’t find them......
CNN back to Ferguson riots coverage.
Why is this word of this failed mission being leaked? Oh, that’s right, to EMBARRASS the United States. Thanks, Hussein.

Yeah, that inept US Military, ...

I (bo) tried, but the military failed.
Son TAY...
Lookup SON TAY raid or Operation Ivory Coast
November 1970 Special Forces under Col Bull Simmons
hit a prison camp near Hanoi to free 61 POW
POW had been moved shortly before
Special Forces killed all NVA at camp along with couple
dozen unknown non NVA at nearby location called secondary school (Chinese or Russians????)
The Spec Ops guys and the remaining hostages take another one for the Marxist punk.
One thing he can not say (with a straight face) is we do not negotiate with terrorists. He released 5 high value GITMO prisoners for a deserter.
Isn’t revealing top secret plans(even after the fact) a crime?
What the hell??
Be prepared for 2-1/2 more years of foreign policy failure after foreign policy failure after foreign policy failure. Couple that with “divide and govern” domestic policy, shows that “free” people are under attack from enemies, foreign and domestic.
It seems that there are more Americans held by ISIS, some of whom ISIS claims are American Special Forces or ex Special Forces contractors
If that is the case, why did Obama not trade the 5 Gitmo big shots for them instead of for Bergdahl, a deserter and Jihadi collaborator.
Yea...I really believe Clown Prince nobama THIS time. Why would anyone believe anything this chronic serial liar said about anything? It is so convenient that he is responsible for nothing and those around him are incompetent. Yea...right.
Exactly. …chronic serial liar…BUMP!
