President Trump is being blamed by some military officials for the deadly results of a recent raid on Al-Qaeda.

Navy Seals conducted the mission in Yemen and Chief Petty Officer William “Ryan” Owens was killed along with several civilians.

Of the deceased was an 8-year-old girl who was an American citizen.

Now, Reuters reports that anonymous military officials say the mission was approved without proper preparation.

Planning began under the Obama administration, but one official told Reuters that, “the decision was made … to leave it to the incoming administration, partly in the hope that more and better intelligence could be collected.”

Trump visited Dover Air Force Base for the dignified transfer of CPO Owens’ remains.

President Trump said, “just returned from an amazing visit with a great, great family at Dover, and it was something very sad, very beautiful. Ryan, a great man.”

  1. That’s what happens when you go to war unprepared. Trump should expect more disasters like this if his egomaniac self will not listen to professionals. Very soon we may get to a stage where soldiers will refuse to obey our “commander in chief”

  2. War is not reality TV. Trump should know that people are being put in mortal- harm’s way when u send them to war without proper intelligence and preparation

  3. Are we going to sit down and let Al-Qaida run amok without doing something? war is always full of risks. Trump took a chance, if this was successful we will all be hailing him now

  4. Somebody should put a leash on Trump- look at a Presidency that is less than one month old already with a string of disasters- ban on Muslims, overturned, hasty raid on Al Qaida- a disaster, what is his next mess

  5. Are you concerned about civilians???? How come you didn’t write about the 563 drone strikes by OBAMA and the thousands of civilians he killed?

  6. @Zachary389-2 wrongs don’t make a right dumbass, we on the left have never agreed with O on this but since you are a fascist you cant understand the difference between right and wrong clearly

  7. It is clear that democrats didn’t “learn anything” after the election. Well we did, we just aren’t going to give into it. We learned that a lot of people are total hypocrites (evangelicals), that many people are racists but think they aren’t, that many people are completely captured by fake news and conspiracy theories, and that many more people will sell out to save a few tax dollars. So what? Are we sopposed to say “oh right, sorry, we forgot to capitulate to your Neanderthal world-view” and “go ahead and mistreat the gays, minorities, poor, etc” or “of course, let’s privatize everything and turn our schools into christian madrasahs.” Is this why you were expecting from us? OK, I give up. Seat belts are, in fact, a liberal conspiracy designed to keep people trapped in their cars…
