Editor,
We had 1000s of hours of investigation over Benghazi. We learned from those hearings that one of the causes of that tragedy was the Republican refusal to add security funding to the State Department. But, who has heard of Yakla?
Trump casually gave the green light for his first covert anti-terrorism operation in Yakla, Yemen over dinner. It was presented to him as something President Obama had refused on the grounds that it was too sketchy an operation. Of course, Trump bit that hook and the very next afternoon (5 p.m. Washington DC time) the Situation Room was packed with generals and advisors. Trump was not in the room; but instead was tweeting about an upcoming television appearance. Someone later deleted that tweet… perhaps they thought it was too gauche?
Chief Petty Officer William “Ryan” Owens was killed during that operation along with dozens of women and children. Their capture target was nowhere to be found and later he mocked the US on social media. Along with all the needless deaths, a $75 million aircraft was lost.
Now Donald Trump blames the military, “They lost him.” This man is not a President. He is a Tin Pot Dictator unwilling to take responsibility for his actions but claims credit for the work of others.
Are you AWOKE yet America?
