Almost as intense as the planning that went into last weekend's Navy SEAL operation in Yemen to seize valuable intel on al-Qaeda's most dangerous affiliate was the effort to assess whether any civilians - including children - were killed in a brutal firefight that left one American dead and several others wounded.

Is this Benghazi-2?

Did someone in the #44 admin leak info?

Who knew what when?

Looks like a device set for detonation after January 20th, IMHO.

It’s regettable but these are civilians allowing terrorists to live in their mist....

Not to mention they are most likely sympathisers.....

WHen the ISIL/Yemeni terrorists purposely hide among civilian hostages
There will be civilian casualties.
That is one of the reasons there were "boots on the ground", rather than an air strike - to minimize civilian casualties.

A Republican president means time for the MSM to pay attention and dissect every overseas military operation. After 8 years they must be rusty.

The reports I’ve seen indicate that in fact her mother was killed along with (new intel) Anwar al-Awlaki’s brother in addition to the previously mentioned.

Surprised they didn’t report we hit a wedding or a funeral, but since this was their god’s op, guess they had to be more respectful.

Well, the Control-LEFT media has a 24-hour talking point to shove in front of the public.

“A Republican president means time for the MSM to pay attention and dissect every overseas military operation. After 8 years they must be rusty.”

Thanks, that would account for my comment in post #9.

Well yea! We heard civilians got whacked (collateral damage).

What is the difference between “killed” and “definitely killed”?

Also, I’m not happy about the 8 year old American citizen who died (son of Al A-wacko)

Obama compromised mission on one last chance to get even with Seal Team 6

Even the suck-up MSM admits to figures of 3,022 civilians killed on 526 drone strikes ordered by Obama.

8 year olds firing on our SEALs are not "CIVILIANS"! If they ARE civilians, F'em. I DO NOT CARE.

I agree with you that Trump was set-up, post Jan. 20th for a mission where numerous SEALs would be killed. Thank God they pushed out and survived.

Trump, YOU were set up FROM THE INSIDE. DRAIN THE G'DAMN SWAMP BEFORE YOU ENGAGE IN ANY MISSIONS WHERE OUR LIVES ARE ON THE LINE. Tap all phone lines, cellphones of prior administration traitors to see who on the INSIDE they are STILL giving orders to.

P.S. Oh yeah, and BAD ACTORS in the NSA, CIA, etc., are listening in on Trump's phone conversations and LEAKING THEM TO THE PRESS.

I don't think even Trump realizes the extent of contamination exists within his own agencies from the 0dungsh*t era.

BEWARE THE CIA, STATE DEPT., FBI, DHS, etc. for bad actors EAGER TO SABOTAGE TRUMP!

#15-
There is a mole and/or rat associated with this mission, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.

It is time to kick ass at the DOD, CIA and other agencies.

Do NOT trust any information generated before Jan. 20th.

That's the way the mop flops!

I think that there were some "civilians" killed in Orlando. A couple on 911 too.

Tough to plan for some of this stuff.

Re civilian deaths:

Israel warns with leaflets that they are going to destroy terrorists homes. They tell when the strikes are going to come, and they follow through.

Almost every time there are civilian casualties. At least we are led to believe that. There have been times when bodies have been placed in after the strikes, to make it look like peopled died. I don’t think we’re ever sure what is exactly the case.

Terrorists keep family and civilians around hoping to use them as a shield.

Doesn’t seem to be working under Trump.

These men deserve accolades for their actions. They went in knowing it would be a very difficult operation. Kudos to them all.

Sorry for the loss. That one guy’s life was more then likely traded for countless others.
