CNN TV has a Breaking News banner that says “U.S. ATTEMPTED RESCUE OF ISIS HOSTAGES IN SYRIA”
AP Tweet BREAKING: Special forces sent to Syria to rescue US hostages this summer but couldn’t locate them, officials say
ok , they missed
Now they need to send in an op with the mission to kill
al Baghdadi . Grease his ass .
Horse Hockey. Obama just trying to cover his butt.
In fact it was so secret, the guys on the mission didn't even know about it.
Idiot, McCain had their address in his Rolodex.
After the Bergdahl swap this will become more common.
Another “If you like your plan you can keep your plan” release from the White Hut.
I don’t buy it. We might have had guys on the ground in Syria but they were there to arm “moderate” terrorists against Assad.
The behavior of this administration leaves me praying that the rumor of American soldiers in ISIS hands is false because we won’t even know about it till they’re dead.
What good does this statement do now, with our reporter having lost his head? Obama get’s no ‘star on the forehead’ for effort. Obama gets no credit for effort because of all he does to explicitly place us in danger, such as releasing the Guantanamo Five to return to their Jihad. Or allowing thousands of illegals to waltz into our shores, penalty-free. Thanks, Obama!
I’m guessing the joint chiefs aren’t enjoying getting run over by the bus they were just thrown under.
Obama blaming someone else. Typical narcissist.
Pure political announcement playing to a domestic audience. This should never have been revealed publicly.
yeah that’s the ticket..... tried a rescue but couldn’t find them..... yeah that’s it couldn’t find them......
CNN back to Ferguson riots coverage.
Why is this word of this failed mission being leaked? Oh, that’s right, to EMBARRASS the United States. Thanks, Hussein.
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. ==
Yeah, that inept US Military, ...
they failed.
I (bo) tried, but the military failed.
Son TAY...
Lookup SON TAY raid or Operation Ivory Coast
November 1970 Special Forces under Col Bull Simmons
hit a prison camp near Hanoi to free 61 POW
POW had been moved shortly before
Special Forces killed all NVA at camp along with couple
dozen unknown non NVA at nearby location called secondary school (Chinese or Russians????)
The Spec Ops guys and the remaining hostages take another one for the Marxist punk.
