Where have you been, they don't have to have balls anymore to be an uncle. You suffer from transphobia. (sarcasm)

You know they cried themselves to sleep last night knowing he’d been extracted. They wanted him to be captured or killed. So now what, rally up another series of No Kings riots?

Yep, "almost failed" means "succeeded". My BS detector always looks for wiggle words like that.

Other variations:

"Nearly half of those polled".... Oh, you mean "LESS THAN HALF", right?

"We haven't seen such High/Low (temperatures, gas prices, what ever) in 20 years!!!!!"... Oh, you mean things are about the same now as the were 20 years ago.? Yawn.

"Most of those"... Oh, is that like really a lot of people, or 50.01%?

"Some of those"... How much is 'some'? Your barber's cousin's friend?

"It's been claimed"... by who exactly....

etc, etc. keep your BS detector tuned up!

So is that headline supposed to read "Almost failed and ALMOST cost dozens of American lives"?

Because I read it as "Almost failed and (in failing it did) cost dozens of American lives".

These people are *supposed* to have a command of the English language. They are either incompetent, or intentionally writing this to give the impression of lost lives. Or both.

I think people are ‘triggered’ by being told this would last “two weeks” and it has turned into a clusterfrick where we are having to extract soldiers.


No one said it would last 2 weeks. It's also not a clusterfrick. You are a liar and a drama queen.

Trump clearly said 4-5 weeks at his first big presser. We're in week 5. STFU. It'll be settled by May 1st. There will be some clean up after. That's why the troops are deployed. If allies don't help, we keep all the spoils. Start investing in companies that will be rebuilding the damage. We want a modern, free Iran. Neutralize the radical regime and the entire Middle East can prosper. When areas proser, mf'ers aren't as motivated to f#$k shite up and kill themselves.

The UConn men's basketball team almost lost to Duke and would not have made it into the Final Four.

What are they trying to say? That we should have left our pilot behind to be tortured and killed by the IRGC?

Despicable.

Amazing how words can be used in a headline, where they force, you the reader, to read between the lines to get the real truth. If the average reader was not careful, they would have missed the word 'almost' and would go around telling people, "Oh my god! We lost dozens of Americans!"

This is another prime example of why you truly cannot trust the media! They try to distort the truth to appease their base of followers.

Intentionally


Of course it is. The MSM and Democrats would have rather seen him die than be rescued. The hue and cry and days of headlines of bashing OMB ans vial leadership team were lost, much to their chagrin. They certainly won’t post anything giving him credit.

If Barry had surgically extracted Maduro like Trump did, they would have been waiting at the gates of the White House with another Nobel prize. Meanwhile the MSM and the left whined about him being held in substandard conditions and Congress not getting advance notice (so they would leak it to the press)

They are the enemy of the people.
