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.

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.

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.

“a number of Americans held captive “ Shouldn’t the exact number be news? Our media sucks.

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 call bullsh*t. Just tryin’ to cover their a**es - after the fact. (Maybe they’ve learned something from Benghazi - they are STILL wrong.)

I know I should not be shocked any longer, but the sheer, unmitigated gall of releasing this now just amazes me. Who care about him, who care about the family, it is all about making sure the Royal WE come out of this looking ok.

But hey, according to CNN there were I think 18 air strikes today against targets in Iraq. That will make everything ok.

WH top brass: “We CARED, we TRIED. Intel not good.”

What’s there to say from everyday Americans, even if he believes the tale?

More Top Secret missions revealed to the world (aka terrorists) by the dunce-in-chief. I’m reminded of the Son Tay Raid. The commandos trained for months, they all kept their mouths shut. Hell, they didn’t even know the mission till until a few hours before they were in the air. Then Bull Simons told them where they were going. Although they found no prisoners, it was successful because our POWs started getting treated better and most were relocated to the Hanoi Hilton. The media basically ignored it because they wanted the war ended, especially Uncle Walter. The big difference back then? We had a real commander-in-chief. Now we have a commander-in-nothing.

Typically, the MSM is saying the OP was "botched." They did exactly what they were trained to do (kill the enemy) and they did it without any KIA among the raiders. So the hostages weren't there. That's not a botched operation, that's a failure of INTEL. That's also probably a leak from the Oval warning the tango's to skedaddle with their prizes. So send in the D-Boys or DEVGRU just to make it look good....
