Add “failed hostage rescue” to the Obama - Carter comparisons.

Wut?

I honestly don’t get that critique. It sounds like the mission went off without a hitch. Special forces arrived, killed the onsite ISIL militants, searched the location and then returned safely. It’s unfortunate there were no hostages there, but I’m glad the US did what it could to try and recover its citizens. Would Eric have preferred we had not acted?
