Military officials told NBC News on Monday that the operation targeted 38-year-old Qassim al-Rimi, who leads al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and is considered the third most dangerous terrorist in the world. On Sunday, al-Rimi released an audio message taunting the president.

Trump had previously said President the operation was successful and 14 fighters were killed.

He might want to spend some time at those military briefings. Very sad.

Bad shite happens in war. Most people under 45 or so don't understand this.

Civilians don't typically shoot back from fortified positions

This raid was approved by the Obama administration, so I assume you are equally disappointed in his assessment of the situation.

Need to know who the civilians are, could be part of the strategy. Trump said you target their families they will probably stop being terrorists.

Look man I agree that the buck stops at the top, but do you really think that's Trumo was in any way involved in the intelligence collection, planning or execution of this raid?

old news, but lets hash this out again....

raid planning started during Obama administration. He gave the order to proceed with the operation. the operation was originally scheduled to happen under Obama, but it was postponed due to logistical reasons, so Trump had to make the call.

The military/Intelligence agencies had enough confidence in the operation that they choose to bring the OP to the president. It not that Trump decided "hey lets attack something"

you never have 100% intelligence for an OP, and you never know if they will go off without a hitch.

You're a dumb POS if you think any President has operational responsibility for any military operation. His responsibility is to authorize the go order.

This has already been covered. The raid was planned forever ago during Os administration. The only reason Trump was asked for a green light was because he was inaugurated while seals were waiting for the next new moon to take action. Their cover was blown during the raid. This has nothing to do with Obama or Trump.

Yet another dog shite thread.

By "civilians," you know they are referring to the terrorists wives who were reportedly firing at the soldiers too, and at the very least, aiding and abetting them. Women were killed in the Bin laden raid. No one gave and shite and rightfully so.

Did Trump run the op? Was Trump in on the planning of the op?

Wasn't the raid planned during the Obama administration?

Trump was on the ground storming the building. He was just blindly shooting up the place. Women, children, dogs...
