Hmmm. My understanding is that the op was planned late during the last administraton and given a green light by the current admin. Knowing how the previous admin liked to share info...................... Just sayin'. "Hey isis/is/isil/daesh. We're planning an op for Sunday afternoon around 1500 hrs. Just wanted to give you a heads up."

If the timing and place of this attack was leaked, let the Seal Team survivors deal with the leakers.
Not kill them, just let the leakers know that they will be exposed to the world and watched by current and past military people.

You really thing a SEAL member talked to the Times about the action.
I gotta bridge....
To: rktman
Yeah I’m pretty sure 0bama wanted this to happen and had something to do with it being shared with the enemy. I’m pretty sure there are some hollywood types who are happy about it too.
Trump is a very quick study. He’s got this.

A speculation I made when we knew about both the raid and the temporary ban from those seven countries is that the bad guys knew about the raid and there was concern they were going to get on planes to the US.
Would I put it past loyalists to the previous administration to have let information get out? Hmmmmm.......

My understanding is that the op was planned late during the last administraton and given a green light by the current admin. Varney mentioned the same thing this morning.
To: Principled
I would not be surprised if the past administration was hoping it would go terribly wrong just to place blame on the current administration.

Did the SEALs fail the planned mission? The article implies it.
To: rktman
The NY Times piece was lengthy. When was the last time anyone remembers them doing a detailed piece on one of Obama’s raids when there was a death to an American soldier and civilians were killed?

Bowbama gave them the heads up? (tinfoil hat for me?)
To: Grampa Dave
There’s a lot of Obama’s people still in the government and they’re fighting a rear guard action on his behalf.If people inside the government tipped off the terrorists then it’s time to organize the firing squads.(I’m available nights and weekends.)

They kind of knew they were screwed from the beginning, a former SEAL Team 6 member told The New York Times. Uh huh...

I think we should precede every raid with a little “softening up” by a B-52 Wing.
Craterize a square mile of Injun Country every time and it’ll start having an effect.

It’s tragic that a SEAL lost his life. It is pathetic to think the information on locations and possible targets could have been feed to the Terrorists by people Like Valarie Jarrett or the Head of the CIA-Brennen.
I hope that all information that was passed on from Obama’s NSC is hence forth considered as compromised Intel.

I think it’s on I-tunes someplace. We know what chatterboxes those crazy seals are. Right?
