    President Donald Trump on Tuesday dodged responsibility for a botched mission he ordered in Yemen last month, placing the onus on the military and Barack Obama’s administration instead.

    Bill Owens, the father of Chief Petty Officer William “Ryan” Owens, the Navy SEAL who died in the operation, demanded an investigation into his son’s death over the weekend. Owens further revealed he couldn’t bear to meet Trump at the airport as Ryan’s casket was carried off the military plane last month.

    Asked about the matter during an interview with Fox News’ “Fox ‘n’ Friends,” Trump repeatedly said “they” were responsible for the outcome of the mission, in reference to the military.

    “This was a mission that was started before I got here. This was something they wanted to do,” he said. “They came to me, they explained what they wanted to do ― the generals ― who are very respected, my generals are the most respected that we’ve had in many decades, I believe.(Execpt when you're trashing them Donald) And they lost Ryan.

    Just when you think this guy couldn't be a bigger POS he proves you wrong

    Soldiers die? Who knew. Mission success, or failure can't be determined by casualty. Trump didn't assemble a SEAL team on some personal hunch he had about the whereabouts of Al Qaeda leaders. The "intelligence community" provided information to the pentagon. The pentagon submitted a plan to Trump for approval. It wasn't a perfect plan. The "intel" was imperfect as well. The SEAL died bravely in the line of duty. Investigate what exactly?

    Trump just said he's got the best generals this country's ever had......Aren't they the same ones Obama had, or did he just promote a whole lot of colonels and fire Obama's?

    Move along folks--------------------just more fake news.

    The truth is that Trump is going to fund the military with billions more to recover from the Obama years.

    The Trumpeizda butt lickers are blaming this on the:

    1-military since the mission was obviously under the command and control of the military
    2- Obama because the initial conception and target identification was done during the Obama administration
    3- Michelle Obama just because they hate anything Obama and because she is married to a Muslim
    4-the lunch lady at NYC School #79

    If this mission was run during the Obama administration they Items 2 and 3 would apply as far as Trumpeizdas are concerned.

    If they hadn't bungled it like a bunch of amateurs (in way over their head) they'd be taking full credit.

    Trump needs to learn from this mistake.
    First he needs to have the Secretary of State plan and implement all future missions without military approval or backup. Then when the death toll reaches 100% the left will,consider that respect.
    It's a strange world they live in.

    Look at the posts from right wingers. "fake news" "derpa derpa derpa" "liberal poopyheads" and then they call liberals elitist and mean when they call them names. Not one intelligent defense of trump, just deflection. Not even original

    Thanks for continuing to prove liberals are right on most matters.

    Maybe.

    But, who really cares about the opinions of "The Military"?

    A bunch of macho, "gung ho", types whose most newsworthy efforts involve raping female subordinates.

    The opinions of "The Military" have ZERO credibility.

    Sorry for the dose of REALITY. Semper Fi. :salute:

    Why is this making the news? How many did Obama lose? Why didn't the left jump all over those? This is just another attemp at the old gothya by the left hit machine. They will keep slinging mud hoping something sticks!

    Just when you thought the trump haters could not sink lower, here they come, refreshed, ready to spew their hatred for another day.

    I suggest a punching bag, for it may stop a future stroke or heart attack as the vile builds up, becomes pressurized.

    Where were you guys when Obama and Hillary were setting the middle east on fire, taking down leaders, turning the nation over to radicals? All I heard was crickets. So more hypocrisy from the kings of it. No one can take this crowd seriously, and most people don't.

    How about some legit concerns? Instead of more crap from the hate trump manufacturing mill? I wonder how many faux liberal will die from heart attacks and strokes over trump hatred and unfettered emotions? Thousands? Of course that will be blamed on trump. LOL

    This was a military operation with risks that went wrong. Just as Benghazi went wrong. Of course you'll hear the partisans crying for investigation of one, but not the other.

    In my view, the Dems are better than wasting millions of taxpayer's money and countless investigations into a witch hunt, like Benghazi. Or maybe they are not, because it could be argued that the constant Benghazi drumbeat contributed to Clinton losing the election. Isn't what's good for the goose good for the gander?

    I think the worst part of Trump winning so far is the knowledge that the left will start pretending to care about the military, again, just like they did during the Bush years. These are the same group of people who called Vietnam vets "babykillers" and spit in their faces when they returned home from overseas.

    The truth is, they will use dead soldiers, who they don't really care about, to try and make Trump look bad. That's what they did under Bush. Remember the nightly count of how many dead soldiers there were overseas? And how that running total stopped immediately after Obama took office?

    Hillary concocted Benghazi. Someone, most likely Hillary gave the stand down order once it became militaristic.
    Do you honestly believe the military wouldn't lift a finger unless someone was standing on thier hand?

    It was a military operation...engaged in at the behest of the White House.

    The blame goes to the top...just like Carter's debacle in the desert. HE never blamed the military

    - - - Updated - - -

    Hillary "concocted" nothing. That was a stupid statement and there WAS no 'standown order" for the one millionth time

    - - - Updated - - -

    What a crock. The left respects the military as much if not more than the right.

    Thanks for the lie though...I guess you had to say something in defense of The Orange One
