And watch Trump and his sycophants claim this too is Obama’s fault.
Raid that killed 8 yr old American girl & a Navy Seal? Pres. Obama vetoed due to bad intelligence. Trump gave the okhttps://t.co/oF9aDltcpJ

Oh wait.
Obama vetoed raid due to bad intel. Trump went for it because he had to show he’s a tough guy - using our best and brightest - the sharpest tip of the spear - to do it, and screwed them because they didn’t have good intel, the bad guys knew we were coming, and we got out gunned to the point where we had to call in airstrikes to save our guys on the ground. So, sure some bad guys were killed, but the purpose of the raid was to gather intel so we could get even more bad guys and disrupt terror networks in Yemen.
Oh, and Trump’s trying to push this kind of decision down below his level, because it’s too much work to make sure that there’s enough planning, preparation, and logistics for his teeny tiny hands to wrap themselves around.
