U.S. staged secret operation into Syria in failed bid to rescue Americans
Seven dead terrorist is some measure of success. :-)
“could not obtain White House approval” -— WTH? Valerie/Obama should give the military some respect and let them do what they think they can do.
Brings back memories of Carter.
At least the second time this has happened. The prisoners held in Raqqa several years ago could have been rescued, they knew exactly where they were and could not get the go. It took over fifty days to get Obama’s approval and by that time it was old Intel and they had been moved to another location when special forces got there. I believe one of the prisoners was the young girl, Kayla Muller who was eventually murdered by ISIS. They beheaded two other men.
I cant wait for Trump.
One way to avoid this is to get the hell out of there. I dont give a flat flying flip about being there. Close our damned borders. Get these Wahhabi Sunnis out of our country and quit the damned nation building with a bunch of godless morons, GET OUT!!
Pathetic. The supposed greatest military the world has ever known and we can’t even mount a rescue operation against 7th century stick and rock throwers in a 6th century s#!tholistan. Why are we there again? Anyone? Bueller? We are screwed.
Odd that they aren’t releasing the names of the kidnappees.
If they are women they will have Obama to thank for the 50 extra rapes they’ll suffer because he refused to pull the trigger.
Active Duty ping.

FTA: after an earlier mission was aborted when the White House withheld its approval
So where was obama? On another golf course? At another party?
