Congress launched inquiries and lawmakers from both parties raised the possibility of war crimes after a report that the U.S. targeted survivors of a strike on an alleged drug boat.

The Republican-led armed-services committees in the House and Senate said this weekend they are opening bipartisan inquiries, after the Washington Post reported on a Sept. 2 attack on a boat in the Caribbean. In that attack, the Post said, a second strike was ordered to kill two survivors in the water.

This may not only be a war crime, this could be murder. Before the MAGA posters off saying I am defending drug dealers, let me point out that the much criticized recent ad advising military personnel that they need not carrying out illegal orders was spot on. All legal analysts say that this WAS an illegal order. Once the trump administration is gone, everyone from the Defense Secretary to the person pushing the button may be prosecuted. Remember that...

You are defending drug dealers. Obama used drones to kill people you were OK with that. Dont you love the validation " all legal analysts" which is BS. There are no unlawful orders. Trump has once again by being successful exposed democrats as incompetent failures. Biden opened the border and drugs flooded in. Drug deaths hit record highs. Trump stops the drugs and its illegal murder what load of progressive BS. Trump saves American lives democrats kill them

Surprise, surprise (to no one with more than three brain cells), there was no "kill them all!" order.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Navy admiral commanding the U.S. military strikes on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean told lawmakers Thursday that there was no “kill them all” order from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, but a stark video of the attack left grave questions as Congress scrutinizes the campaign that killed two survivors.

Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley appeared for a series of closed-door classified briefings at the Capitol as lawmakers conduct an investigation after a report that he ordered the follow-on attack that killed the survivors to comply with Hegesth’s demands. Legal experts have said such a strike could be a violation of the laws of military warfare.

“Bradley was very clear that he was given no such order, to give no quarter or to kill them all,” said Sen. Tom Cotton, who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, as he exited a classified briefing.

But no one really ever thought that Hegseth gave such an order. At least not the media or the Dems. This was always an attempt to induce mass hysteria among low-information voters based on a flat lie. It worked on far too many of our fellow posters on here.

But lawmakers who lead the House and Senate’s national security committees in Congress came away with different descriptions of what the two survivors were doing when they were killed.

Cotton said he saw them “trying to flip a boat loaded with drugs bound for United States back over so they could stay in the fight.”

He said there were “several minutes” between the first and second attacks, which consisted of four missile strikes. He said it was “gratifying” that the U.S. military was taking “the battle” to cartels.

Admiral says there was no 'kill them all' order in boat attack, but video alarms lawmakers

A Navy admiral has told lawmakers that there was no “kill them all” order from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in the boat attack in the Caribbean, but the video of survivors being killed has alarmed lawmakers, That disclosure Thursday comes as Congress scrutinizes an attack on an alleged drug boat i

Normal Americans do not want the Cartels to have an open border, nor open seas on which to ship deadly poisons to kill the young and naive among us.

"The admiral confirmed that there had not been a kill them all order and that there was not an order to grant no quarter," Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, told reporters after a briefing with the admiral.

Hegseth did not issue 'kill them all' order during Venezuela strikes, admiral tells Congress

Laura Ingraham has that clip on the fox website. The first question from a reporter after the Democratic Senator's admission was "does that exonerate Hegseth." His answer:

"That's all I have to say."

Children.

Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, appeared to take aim at Democrats for claiming they were "troubled" by the video.

"Those who appear ‘troubled’ by videos of military strikes on designated terrorists have clearly never seen the Obama-ordered strikes, or, for that matter, those of any other administration over recent decades. I am deeply concerned by the public statements made by others that seek to ignore the realities of targeting terrorists to score political points. I call upon them to remember their own silence as our forces conducted identical strikes for years — killing terrorists and destroying military objectives the same as in this strike — and ask themselves why they would seek to attack our forces today."

Although I am Very Conservative,...... I quit being a Republican when I heard Bush Sr. invoke the 'New World Order" before Congress.

In the beginning, I did hope that Trump would be who claimed to be, & do what he promised, but,.... I Deeply Researched "Everything Trump", clear back to when he was 3 years old, as he campaigned for the Republican Ticket, & threatened to start his own "Party".

What I Learned deeply shocked me & pissed me off.

Trump is an Insane, Self Righteous, "Godless", Idiotic, Whoremongering Con-man, that is severely suffering from a "God Complex", who cares more for Israel, than he does for America.

Trump has ordered American Military Forces to make Attacks upon Iran, & these Venezuelan boats, without Declaring War, nor with "Justification"., & Yes,.... These were/are "Illegal Orders".

Worse yet,.... Trump's Actions very easily could "herd" America to World War Three, &/or America's Economic Collapse.

And the leftist FAGATs will defend drug smugglers with their “all legal analysts”, slogan.

Not just me, but a Rising Number of Conservatives in Congress.

And,... Where in the Uniform Code of Justice does it specifically State that American Military Personnel are Allowed to Fire Upon Un-Armed Civilians/Soldiers?

Once the true conservatives in Congress get past the primary season, expect those in competitive districts to begin saying no to the Liar in Chief. Their Jobs are their Priorities.

Jim,.... I was so Disgusted with Our Previous POTUS, that I was Hopeful that TRump would do what he said, but,.... Before I "Climbed on the Bandwagon", I Deeply Researched everything Trump, as he Campaigned for the Republican Ticket. What I Learned absolutely Disgusted, Shocked, & Angered me

Trump deeply appealed to the "Christian Voters", who were largely zealous for him. I Thought that he might Campaign on reversing "Gay Marriage", but Then he turned to the "Log Cabin Republicans", & got up on their stage & wrapped the LGBT Flag around himself, as he sought their Vote!!!

My List of why I do not Trust Trump, nor support him is very, very long.

What king of leftist FAGAt would look the other way when drug smugglers are importing drugs to the US?

Stateless Vessels and the Consequences for Crew

Press Release 10 June 2021

www.humanrightsatsea.org

Entitlement to flag is important as it allows the ship to possess a ‘national character’ and gives certain rights to the seafarers on board under the laws of the Flag State, regardless of the ship’s geographical location.

Therefore, seafarers on board a stateless ship are deprived of rights that they would have otherwise been entitled to under the Flag State law. However, as discussed, there are other States (and other entities) capable of assisting seafarers on board stateless ships.

Hollie what started the War of 1812, between England, & America?

And when was America Anointed the "Policeman of the World", by a majority of the Nations of the World?

How is destroying speed boats in International Waters, that do not have the range to reach America's Shores, that are "Alleged to be carrying Fentanyl", allowed by American Law?

Matter of fact,.... These Alleged Venezuelan Drug Boats in the Eastern Pacific Ocean,.... When did Venezuela's coast shift to the Eastern Pacific?!?

Did the American Military allow these boats, to use the Panama Canal, to get to the Pacific Ocean, only to destroy them once they reached International Waters?
