Remember when Benghazi was a thing?

U.S. military probing more possible civilian deaths in Yemen raid

Quote :
U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.

As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.

. . .

The U.S. officials said the extremists’ base had been identified as a target before the Obama administration left office on Jan. 20, but then-President Barack Obama held off approving a raid ahead of his departure.

A White House official said the operation was thoroughly vetted by the previous administration and that the previous defense secretary had signed off on it in January. The raid was delayed for operational reasons, the White House official said.

. . .

One of the three U.S. officials said on-the-ground surveillance of the compound was “minimal, at best.”

“The decision was made ... to leave it to the incoming administration, partly in the hope that more and better intelligence could be collected,” that official said.

Yeah...

.........

Some of the women were firing at the U.S. force, Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis told reporters.



Yeah ....

Incidentally, I couldn't help notice that Trump's Pentagon spokesman is named Jeff Davis!!!!
Is it possible that he is a descendant of THE Jeff Davis, champion of slavery and secessionist extraordinaire?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Wait until this hits the Internet!
OMG!!!!

MIDDLE EAST
Raid in Yemen: Risky From the Start and Costly in the End


By ERIC SCHMITT and DAVID E. SANGERFEB. 1, 2017

………

President Barack Obama’s national security aides had reviewed the plans for a risky attack on a small, heavily guarded brick home of a senior Qaeda collaborator in a mountainous village in a remote part of central Yemen. But Mr. Obama did not act because the Pentagon wanted to launch the attack on a moonless night and the next one would come after his term had ended.

Inside the Yemen raid: Women al Qaeda fighters surprised US forces

By Ryan Browne, CNN
Updated 10:04 PM ET, Wed February 1, 2017

The raid was greenlit by President Donald Trump shortly after taking the oath of office, but multiple officials told CNN the mission had been planned months in advance and had been briefed to then-President Barack Obama.
Both defense and Obama administration officials said the operation was never vetoed by Obama and that "operational reasons" were why it was pushed back after January 20 and why Obama left the task of authorizing the raid to his successor.
One such operational reason: The need for a moonless night to help provide the cover of darkness for the Navy SEALs undertaking the raid on the al Qaeda headquarters located in the al Bayda Governorate in Yemen.

………

During the gun battle, which featured small arms fire, hand grenades and close air support strikes from US aircraft, al Qaeda fighters -- including some female combatants -- took up firing positions on the roof of a nearby building and the US troops came under fire, calling in an airstrike against the building, which likely led to civilian casualties, a US official told CNN.

………

"Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has a horrifying history of hiding women and children within militant operating areas and terrorist camps, and continuously shows a callous disregard for innocent lives," US Col. John J. Thomas, a spokesman for Central Command, said in the statement. "That's what makes cases like these so especially tragic."

Liberal Pundits Are Calling US Embassy Protests In Iraq Trump’s Benghazi

Liberal pundits slammed President Donald Trump’s handling of protests at the U.S. embassy in Iraq and suggested it will consume his presidency in the same way the Benghazi scandal did the Obama administration.
MSNBC pundit Joy Reid and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut were among a handful of people who suggested the protest is a result of the president’s lack of leadership. A progressive military veteran group also taunted the president over the protests.
“The attack on our embassy in Baghdad is horrifying but predictable,” Murphy wrote on Twitter Tuesday, referring to the reports showing that protesters stormed the embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. Reports show that roughly 100 U.S. Marines were sent to Iraq to help with security.
Protesters managed to break through the main gate amid demonstrations against U.S. airstrikes on an Iran-backed militia group in the country.
“Trump has rendered America impotent in the Middle East. No one fears us, no one listens to us,” said Murphy, a Democrat and fierce critic of Trump. He believes that the president consistently undermines his own administration’s advice on foreign policy matters.
The attack on our embassy in Baghdad is horrifying but predictable.
Trump has rendered America impotent in the Middle East. No one fears us, no one listens to us.
America has been reduced to huddling in safe rooms, hoping the bad guys will go away.
What a disgrace.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) December 31, 2019
Reid made a similar comment on Twitter Tuesday, retweeting a White House message that addressed the protests and told her followers: “As Trump’s Benghazi unfolds in Iraq…” Trump has had a few verbal tiff with Reid in the past. He said on Twitter in September that she has “no talent.”
VoteVets, a veterans group that works to elect Democrats, also leaped into the fray, with the group warning Trump on Twitter that he was about to have his own Benghazi “unfortunately in Iraq.” The group touts the fact that the president blocked their account.
Trump frequently criticized former President Barack Obama’s handling of the situation.
The coordinated terrorist attack on the facility in Benghazi, Libya in 2012 culminated in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and U.S. government personnel Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. Unlike Benghazi, no deaths have been reported so far in the Tuesday protests at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, Iraq.

This is exactly like the Obama administration's handling of the Benghazi attack (except without all the inaction, incompetence, and American deaths).
