She was the daughter of an Al Qaeda leader, and his human shield!
Why was a 8 year old American girl in Yemen?
Was the girl targeted?
What is an 8 Year Old American Girl doing in Yemen, especially being near a bunch of Terrorists?
Might be a good idea to blame the Parents.
Define “American”.
If you told that Obama policy to liberals I guarantee that 99 out of 100 would call you a liar.
Ridiculous.
The country is FILLED with “Passport Americans” —they are here for financial benefits and there is ZERO emotional attachment.
Perversely, our legal nationality has become so totally cheapened that most of the passport stampers when passing through Customs can barely speak the language, but throw their weight around like they were Special Aid to General Washington.
If you DirkaDirka and wear a nightshirt around town, there should lurk the possiblity of a Pink Misting in your future.
Sorry..!!
Terrible writing. I can’t figure out what happened.
Libtards can’t figure out the difference between TARGETTED and COLLATERAL DAMAGE BECAUSE YOU ARE LIVING IN A TERROR CAMP.
An 8 year old was sitting up at 2:30 AM amongst a group of terrorists.
What could possibly be the reason for that?
This is a dilemma. There are circumstances where I would most definitely order the hit of a U.S. Citizen.
If that person was off our shores on a large boat and was about to fire off a very strong WMD cruise missile at NY or another major or strategically important target, I'd give it about half a second's thought and sign off on it.
Get him. Get him NOW!
Not targeted as CNN and MSNBC have been pushing.
Wrong place wrong time wrong parents
Don’t support targeting American citizens abroad for drone strikes (we have a Justice system) and applaud Trump admin for curbing this policy.
Her father forfeited his citizenship by joining a foreign hostile army. I’m sure she was a cute kid, but her father directly endangered her life, and those of her brothers, by using them as human shields.
The senior military official said the 8-year-old girl, Nawar al-Awlaki, also known as Nora, was among the noncombatants killed in the raid, which also resulted in the death of several Yemeni women. U.S. officials said some of the women who were killed, however, were combatants and had opened fire on the SEALs as they approached the al Qaeda camp.
The girl's grandfather, Nasser al-Awlaki, Yemen's former agriculture minister, told NBC News a different story. He identified his granddaughter as the dead girl from a photo taken at the scene of the raid but based his description on what happened at the camp on conversations with what he characterized as Yemeni sources.
"My granddaughter was staying for a while with her mother, so when the attack came, they were sitting in the house, and a bullet struck her in her neck at 2:30 past midnight. Other children in the same house were killed," al-Awlaki said. He said the girl died two hours after being shot.
"They [the SEALs] entered another house and killed everybody in it, including all the women. They burned the house. There is an assumption there was a woman [in the house] from Saudi Arabia who was with al Qaeda. All we know is that she was a children's teacher."
Al-Awlaki said the girl and her mother had fled the Yemeni capital, Sa'ana, where he (sic) lives, to escape the heavy shelling.
The child's mother, Anwar al-Awlaki's widow, survived the raid with a minor wound, according to Nasser al-Awlaki. However, Anwar al-Awlaki's brother-in-law was killed in the raid. The death toll varies according to the sourcing, with the Pentagon saying 14 militants died, along with "numerous" civilians. Nasser al-Awlaki said Yemenis were circulating a body count of combatants and civilians as high as 59.

Looks like NBC copied from my FR post. The latest media photos came from my link.
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.
It’s called collateral damage.
No, we may not intentionally target someone, but if they are down range and we are shooting.........
Our enemies tend to live all together in large compounds. Obama wouldn’t attack. This is the first op since 2014 that had a possibility of collateral casualties.
The others are not “human shields” they just live close together by custom and culture.
Wedding Party?
