It got a seal and children killed.

U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.
As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.

The Pentagon directed queries about the officials’ characterization of the raid to U.S. Central Command, which pointed only to its statement on Wednesday.

If Benghazi was worthy of a dozen investigations, this one could call for one. Where was Trump when this was going on?

If he keeps this up at this pace, we won't have a seal team next week

If so, then he's the top man and will take the heat for it, but that sounds like a failure by SPECOPS senior leadership to me.

Very unfortunate,

It's very easy to second guess his decision.

None of us want to to be the "first guesser"

Allow me to summarize: Obama signed off on it prior to the end of his term; Trump came in and also signed off on it.

This is somehow proof to the Trumptards that he's different than previous Presidents.

This is such a horse shite angle of attack.

This operation began vetting as early as November 7, 2016 in Obama's administration - which meant it was in planning well before that.

Guess what: war is messy and sometimes bad things happen.

The Far Left is just angling toward their last resort, as always: "But what about the children?!?"

Also, their fake tears about a SEAL's sacrifice is on the verge of stomach-churning...
