Politics Trump blames military for SEAL’s death

[SlyPokerDog]

In the Trump administration, the buck apparently stops anywhere but the Oval Office.

President Trump on Tuesday blamed the military for the death of Chief Petty Officer William “Ryan” Owens, a Navy SEAL who was killed in a Jan. 29 botched raid on Islamic terrorists in Yemen.

During an interview on “Fox ‘n’ Friends,” the commander-in-chief repeatedly said “they” — meaning the military — were at fault for the death of Owens, whose dad, Bill, refused to appear with Trump when his son’s body was returned to the US.

“This was a mission that was started before I got here. This was something they wanted to do,” Trump said.

Trump has no sensitivity. This is evident in his relentless urge to blame anyone and he defends his own actions without remorse...... so sad

President Obama on Tuesday blamed the military for the death of Chief Petty Officer William “Ryan” Owens, a Navy SEAL who was killed in a Jan. 29 botched raid on Islamic terrorists in Yemen.

During an interview on “Huff Post Live” the commander-in-chief repeatedly said “they” — meaning the military — were at fault for the death of Owens, whose dad, Bill, refused to appear with Obama when his son’s body was returned to the US.

“This was a mission that was started before I got here. This was something they wanted to do,” Obama said.

Oh I mean Democrats too . . . I'm guessing any number of die-hard Team Blue folks would find some way to hand-wave it.

Fake news. I watched the whole thing, and nowhere does he "blame" anyone.

He, and General Mattis, both called it the success it was.

Ah. Right. Well, that would take a lot of imagination because I'm having a hard time picturing Obama blaming the military for something like this. I mean, it's incredible. Trump does understand that he's commander-in-chief, right?

"A commander-in-chief is the person or body that exercises supreme operational command and control of a nation's military forces"

Nevermind. NY Post is one of the approved news outlets.

Only in the Libtard Universe could complimenting the military for a successful mission be reported as blaming the military for a needless death in a failed mission.

Only a snowflake could be made a fool of so easily.

Yemen SEAL Raid Has Yielded No Significant Intelligence: Officials

Exactly. He said THEY when referring to questions of the mission, and the timeline. He was giving context to the mission, because people were insinuating that Trump didn't have enough time to plan this mission which is why the person was killed. Obviously this is not the case, but you know the MSM.

Yemen SEAL Raid Has Yielded No Significant Intelligence: Officials

"Although Pentagon officials have said the raid produced "actionable intelligence," senior officials who spoke to NBC News said they were unaware of any, even as the father of the dead SEAL questioned the premise of the raid in an interview with the Miami Herald published Sunday."

Whose the "senior officials"....... Nice reporting there NBC.. LOL.

Not MSM, NY Post.

Not MSM, NY Post.

I wasn't referring to NY Post at all. There are plenty of other outlets that are running the story, trying to spark a narrative that Trump made up this raid at the last minute and it was ill-planned, bla bla bla.
