Can't believe I'm paraphrasing Don Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense under GWB, who along with his protege Cheney were instrumental in leading us to war in Afghanistan and Irag after 9/11.
"In any operation, you must be careful that you don't create more terrorists than you kill."
Reports are that many Yemeni civilians, including children, were killed. Naturally, the local Yemeni media won't say that the U.S. were targeting Al Queda.
It was reported that the risks listed by the military/intelligence planners were too high compared to the objectives sought (intel on Al Queda operations) for Obama to give the green light.
Supposedly, the UAE was a partner in the operation. Wonder if that was the source that tipped off Al Queda that the strike was coming. Also wonder if Flynn or Maddog pushed for this operation, hoping to give Trump a feather in his cap.
Will the GOP demand an investigation?
