Trump:" I know more about ISIS than the gnerals" Trump: "I'm going to take out their families" Thanks Sup Forums. Now because of his arrogance and thinking he knows everything , he got a US soldier killed and many innocent women and children. Why don't we have a president who listens to intelligence?
>Bbutt Obama Trump is literally taking credit for it right now and saying it was a success. Would he do that if it was an Obama operation?
she would have been perfect mother for beautiful children with a black man

Remember when trumpfag a thought he was anti war?

>botches they killed 3 al-qaeda leaders, it was a success for the most part. Sounds like business as usual to me. Those terrorist fucks hide themselves with civilians on purpose.
Kevin Taylor
>This is even worse than BenGhazi imo
We lost an Ambassador requesting backup? oh shit.
Luis White
>listens to intelligence
For Trump to approve something, it has to be recommended.
Austin Foster
As expected from a loser with the military experience of a toddler
Remember when this retard was claiming how he supposedly understood ISIS better than all the military generals? How the fuck does the military personnel of the US not see an issue with this shit?
Bentley Sanchez
>As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists. and only one of our guys died? Holy shit.
Camden Carter
was that before or after he said he'd knock the shit out of isis?
Cameron Lewis
This is a false flag, he was fed bad intelligence and now they'll use it against him.
The only real question is whether he'll fire the instigators or they will stay in place and go forward with leverage on him.
Henry Gutierrez
I dont remember Trump being boots on the ground.

Obama literally delayed this mission so that Trump would inherit it.

Islamist terrorists bring their families into a fucking military depot, what do they expect? whether US forces, Saudi bombs, Nato bombs, They gave their family what they wanted-martyrs' deaths. good job TRUMPO
Jonathan Ortiz
And He still didn't canceled it
He will just keep doing Obama's work?
Daniel Cox
>3TB loli and goat porn
My sources confirm.
Anthony Russell
Do you understand how important this mission was? This wasn't just a routine carpet bombing. They got important information related to future attacks and killed 3 leaders. It had to be done, otherwise these guys would have most likely led future attacks killing more people. Do you understand how this fucking works?
What the fuck it's not like Trump planned and gathered intelligence himself some of his generals said, >here's what we know I would say let's go and pop some muzzies
and he was like >okay if you say so
Connor Garcia
Because only dipshits enlist. And the military has been co-opted by evangelical Christ fags.
You're treated like shit at the Air Force academy if you don'y join all the other fags at their bible meetings.... they all joined because they see the ME as a holy war.
Nathan Nelson
>As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists. Oh no, during Obongo and Hillary they were only dropping on abandoned, empty bases that've been desolate for ages! Now they are attacking active bases and killing real terrorists there - that is unacceptable!
Joshua Carter

Gabriel Reed
LOL so Obama prepped a mission months in advance and this faggot still fucked it up!

Landon Baker
America is a nation founded upon Christian values, if that makes you uncomfortable I suggest you move to Israel, a nation set aside specifically for your kind.
Liam Diaz
So Obama did good for making this mision.
Fucking stupid mental gymnastics, YOU, YOU STUPID burger are killing civilians in Yemen and you're basically just creating terrorists.
Carson Price
There was no way Trump could have known >Al Qaida trained goats as suicide bombers >Goats ambush our guys in a minefield >ISIS at compound throwing baby grenades at you >Fuck it we can't save the loli >Call in a tactical nuke >Explosion is so awesome one soldier dies from sheer patriotism
Ethan Brown
>Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations. Why did he need to "approve" of something that was incomplete? Why was it even brought to him if it wasn't ready? I'm confused. Doesn't he have generals and shit for this?
Leo Baker
Trump is establishing the first generation of SPESS MARINES
Joshua Wright
The problem with this raid, was Trump insisted on also going along. As President, they can't say no. So he goes in there and has no idea what to do since he has no training. Big mess.
Thomas Davis
To be fair, I heard Trump personally took down one of the leaders and his henchmen, himself.
Easton Garcia
In the report it says women were firing shots too faggot
yeah it's totally not other governments and international orgs funding them as proxy fighters...just good ol' jim bob muhammads pooling their life savings together and spending their afternoons on facebook looking for weak minds to steer, free of charge.
Robert Garcia
It's ugly and lamentable, but ironically, liberals are now pretending to care about drone attacks and Yemen after years of looking the other way.
Alexander Anderson
"Made in America" on everything dropped by Americans and Saudis is excellent recruitment material.
Connor Watson
it's really not fair to blame "liberals" (as in lefty people) for not noticing the thing the liberal media was purposely ignoring.
Nolan Barnes
I say it's a victory, we have less future terrorists.
Jose Watson
This is fake news, and disrespectful to the military casualties and injuries. Please go back.
Kayden Turner
Obama killed 57 people (family) at a wedding.
It was buried
I posted it to r/worldnews to find it had already been posted and buried there too
>I'm not even a Trump supporter but You are literal cancer pushing this half-assed story. Every single little negative story in the media has an anti-trump angle.
I wonder if HUFF CNN MSNBC WP NYT etc etc know how much of a grave they're digging for themselves.
They have already lost the high ground, now we just wait and watch them eat themselves to death
Adrian Cruz
Oh look, after an 8 year break the media suddenly wants to take an interest in the daily events of what's going on in the Middle East.
Wonder why?
Chase Thompson
From the same article:
>A White House official said the operation was thoroughly vetted by the previous administration and that the previous defense secretary had signed off on it in January. The raid was delayed for operational reasons, the White House official said.
Caleb Hall
>nameless anonymous source with important sounding title states trump is a retard for 14th day in a row
fake news
David Johnson
>fake and gay..kys.
Elijah Richardson
Isn't their job to get sufficient intelligence, ground support, and adequate backup preparations? Presuming for the sake of argument, it did fail, how did it go down? Did they go to the president and say "Yeah, we're completely ill-prepared but we do have prepared statements to leak afterwards"?
Alexander Campbell
If it was planned under Obama but left up to Trump doesn't that make it both their faults? How the fuck did the military not know how dangerous the compound was
Gabriel Reed
Clinton's e-mails.
Aiden Watson
>otherwise these guys would have most likely led future attacks killing more people.
So you don't want more happenings?
Seriously, I don't know why Sup Forums was so happy about that Syrian air strike they claimed they helped.
Matthew Taylor
>America is a nation founded upon Christian values,
Explain separation of church and state.
Kevin Martinez
>he has no training
What training did Obama have?
Jaxson Scott
they did know. but it was still trump's decision. but they knew it was too dangerous, that's why obama never ordered the op.
Logan Fisher
They were waiting for a full moon.
Jaxson Thompson

They were waiting for a full moon, which occurred Jan 26th or so. You think Obama would have said no if he was still in office?
Isaac Gomez

i see no problem.
Jayden Jackson

Hunter Edwards
Only if her husband that was also killed in the raid said I divorce you three times.
Aaron Edwards
>He got a US soldier killed Uh... that's what they're supposed to do. Die for their country. If they didn't want to die they should have got a job at BestBuy instead.
also, UC Berkeley should be stripped of federal funds
Juan Russell
Right. If you kill your enemy, he wins.
Listen Taco, those fuckheads in the middle east haven't even SEEN the US pissed off yet. When they finally do, you better hope it was fake news Trump threatened to invade Mexico to kill the cartels because you incompetent boobs can't. Jesus fuck, Mexico has ZERO standing to criticize the US. Fuck off, I'm sick of you tamale-turds.
Michael Long
General Mattis is calling the shots, cunt. So you can go fuck yourself and your bullshit Reuters article.
Blake Adams
There are a few explanations then >they knew they were unprepared to raid the compound but asked for trumps approval anyway >Trump knew they were unprepared but said okay anyway (what democrats hope is the case >they were confident in their preparations and asked for approval and ended up being wrong or >the mission was a failure by design and I really think the powers that be are not above doing something like that to fuck him over
Alexander Rivera
If the mission was a failure by design then whoever designed it failed. The mission succeeded despite one lost soldier.
Gabriel Flores
That's the state Obama left US military in. Fuck, they even lost an experimantal copter trying to catch unarmed guy living peacfully on his farm.
Henry Cruz
What few are talking about, women were fighting alongside the terrorists.
So much for females refugees.
Connor Bennett
>military officials Which ones
Chase Jenkins
ShareBlue propaganda!
Ayden Stewart
They compared it as important as the Bin Laden. All this probably fake child propaganda is likely to distract from the success of that raid.
Xavier Russell
>Seriously thinking the 8 year old daughter of an accused terrorist (was never formerly charged or tied to any major attack) who's been dead for six years was the target of the raid
She was killed in the crossfire, an unfortunate but common occurrence in war.
Spare your false outrage for her older brother, who was killed by a drone strike specifically on President Obama's order.
Aaron Bennett
President's don't plan this, The generals do.
Nolan Lopez
Full disclosure: It was not a failure. OP and everyone that agrees with him is a fag. Do research!
Angel Martin
I'd say the whole thing is blown out of proportion then. I also have no idea how in an age when a satellite can read your license plate the military wouldn't know that an al-Qaeda hideout is actually heavily defended. Or Trump was briefed that it was, but he didn't care. If that's true then it's on him.
Christopher Cook
"OOOOOOOOOOOOY VEY GOYIM, TRUMP KILLED SOME BROWN PEOPLE IN WAR! DIS IS TERRIBLE!"
Nobody cares, nigger, and you're shilling the MSM narrative. The election showed they're nothing but liars - nothing they say can be taken at face value, everything is part of pushing the narrative.
Your post included.
Landon Smith
Okay, I just read the article, and are you fucking serious faggot?
> However, medics at the scene said about 30 people, including 10 women and children, were killed.
HMMMMMMMMMMMM.
> As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.
WHAT WERE CIVILIANS/CHILDREN DOING THERE?
> The U.S. officials said the extremists’ base had been identified as a target before the Obama administration left office on Jan. 20, but then-President Barack Obama held off approving a raid ahead of his departure.
HMMMMMMMMMMM.
Justin Richardson
How many civilians has Obama killed? Why don't we ever hear about that? Why wasn't he ever criticized about that?
Bentley Miller
But it was a success, they took out a terrorist hotbed with only one casualty.
Adrian Bailey
Yet still fulfilled campaign promise of targeting terrorist's families
Eli Foster
The civilians were family members of al-Qaeda fighters. >One of the dead was the 8-year-old daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki, a militant killed by a 2011 U.S. drone strike.
Good luck trying to avoid killing any civilians in a firefight at an AQ base. Protip: you can't.
>This is even worse than BenGhazi imo The two incidents are so dissimilar they aren't comparable in any meaningful sense.
Landon Nguyen
Fuck that SJW. Literally innocent civilians were massacred that weren't involved with slavery. I hope the left is on suicide watch for the next 4/8 years.
Thomas Perez
>The White House estimated that during Obama’s administration, between 64 and 116 civilians had died in drone strikes, and between 2,372 to 2,581 combatants. The deaths occurred in 473 strikes from January 20, 2009 to December 31, 2015. The number only accounts for deaths from “outside areas of active hostilities,” and thus does not include deaths from drones in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Syria, where airstrikes occur regularly. No figures were provided for those countries.
I don't even need to tell you they're deflating that civilian death toll.
Dominic Wilson
Blind racial hatred IS the way forward!
Parker Evans
>I don't even need to tell you they're deflating that civilian death toll. That's what I thought when I read that after 8 years of bombing only 116 people died.
Dominic Stewart
Just read a couple of American mainstream meteor articles about the raid. American politics are extremely toxic. The American left evidently wants to destroy your country out of spite. The "liberals" who talk about the divisions in American society the most are actually the ones who are doing everything they can to divide people further. A pity.
Isaac Bennett
it was an intelligence mission so who knows
Angel Torres
Civilians get killed in wars, eho gives a shit?
The sad thing is that eight year old girl was someone's wife
Brandon Green
No, worse member?
Lucas Gray
It sounds to me like the mission was successful. Shame about the dead SEAL, but the objective was achieved despite it, it appears.
Don't care about the dead arabs. They're not even people.
Mason Russell
Those estimated numbers are retardedly low plus: >does not include deaths from drones in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Syria, where airstrikes occur regularly.
They don't even include the places they bombed the most or for the longest.
Disgusting.
Andrew Green
As much as I hate liberals, I have to agree with anti-war liberals on this.
Carrying out a covert campaign of mass murder by remote control behind the backs of the American people without the slightest form of oversight or accountability is not just illegal and setting a dangerous precedent, it's fucking wrong.
I sincerely hope President Trump either puts an end to this program or at least tries to be more judicious with its use.
Evan Rivera
I'll only believe trumps using the military terribly when the military turn on him. As long as they are overwhelmingly supporting them it's safe to assume anything you hear about trump squandering the military is complete crap
Brayden Morgan
Because you have the situational context for that particular scenario.
Fuck off.
Evan Williams
>As much as I hate liberals, I have to agree with anti-war liberals on this. I don't.
If you want to make an omelette, you gotta break some eggs, as we say in Germany. This is war, people die.
Evan Flores
There's a difference between a declared war where the people know it's actually going on and one carried out in secret in without their knowledge, let alone consent.
Nathaniel Ramirez
how come i heard about this raid earlier? do they just assume the caveniggers dont read the news?
Justin James
Collateral damage is a reality of war. Get over it.
