Success? Yemen no longer permitting US to carry out raids against AQ or IS there. Heckuva job Bannon/Trump @ZekeJMiller @PressSec

The more we learn about the WH prep ahead of the raid, the more it looks like Bannon/Trump was goaded into carrying out the attack because Mattis said that Obama delayed action. So, to appear aggressive, he approved the raid despite inadequate intel and that the raid was compromised right off the bat.

Brilliant.

Not only didn’t we get the intel we needed/sought, but a SEAL member was killed, a valuable piece of equipment was destroyed, and several other servicemembers were injured, to say nothing of the civilian casualties, including an American girl.
