Senior Obama administration officials say the U.S. military launched a secret mission earlier this summer to rescue a number of Americans held captive by militants in Syria but failed to find them.

Can’t provide proof that it happened - it was a ‘secret mission’, doncha know.
Although the circumstances may have been quite different, its hard not to think back and relate this to Jimmy Carter’s failed rescue attempt of the U.S hostagages in Iran. Just saying.
At least we know that mission took place.
I think the only place this mission took place was in the minds of Obama and Valerie.
Exactly. Story released at prime time. With this regime, its all about image management.
So why didn’t they try again, if they felt the rescue was so important?
This is a bunch of hooey, but they know the sheeple will buy it.
Obama is the dunce.
Exactly. Why believe the Boy oops I mean the man who cried wolf.
“a number of Americans held captive “ Shouldn’t the exact number be news? Our media sucks.
John Bolton (Undersecretary of state under Bush) just said that the information should have been kept secret for 50 years....and that the person who helped us with the detail is in danger of being killed if he is not already dead.
Obama thinks he still gets a gold star for failing.
Horse $hit King Putt failed again.
Yup, total BS.
There was no mission to keep secret. It’s an invention of Obama’s mind.
U.S. military launched a secret mission earlier this summer...
+++++++
Really? I think that’s a little odd he didn’t mention if we had any casualties or not in his little dream world secret mission.
Glad they tried, hope not to learn that it was a half assed politically motivated stunt.
I contend they tried a rescue mission in the past several days, but failed. That is why Obama was back at the White House, to orchestrate the event.
I keep thinking that I can’t get more disgusted but here I am again, finding new levels.
yeah that’s the ticket..... tried a rescue but couldn’t find them..... yeah that’s it couldn’t find them......
Why would you even attempt a rescue without knowing the exact location....
They really do count on most people being stupid enough to believe their CYA distractions to appear like they are or have done something....
