"Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all



As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors.

The longer the U.S. surveillance aircraft followed the boat, the more confident intelligence analysts watching from command centers became that the 11 people on board were ferrying drugs.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. “The order was to kill everybody,” one of them said.
A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.

The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack — the opening salvo in the Trump administration’s war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.
Hegseth’s order, which has not been previously reported, adds another dimension to the campaign against suspected drug traffickers.AI Icon

Some current and former U.S. officials and law-of-war experts have said that the Pentagon’s lethal campaign — which has killed more than 80 people to date — is unlawful and may expose those most directly involved to future prosecution."

I have to laugh at the few fools on the Right who want Trump to stop prosecuting Democrats. Do they really think that will stop the Democrats from using lawfare?

When the Seditious Six asked military and CIA officers to mutiny against Trump's commands, I said the Dems really wanted leaks to the media. This is what the leaks become- media reports and eventually Democrat lawfare, threat, and prosecutions against Republicans and military officers. Remember the FBI used media stories that they had planted as evidence to go after Trump.

Democrats would rather see Fentanyl flow into the US.

trump and Hegseth will eventually be thrown out by a full Congress. They are leading this nation down the wrong path.

They see just who is on the boat.

They don't wear big signs that say "I'm a drug smuggler" do they?

 

[alang1216]

No you don’t. What else you got?

Don't need nothing else. I worked with those eyes for decades, I know what they can and can't do.

Democrats would rather see Fentanyl flow into the US.

Nope. You Trumpers would rather see fentanyl come in to this country across our Mexican/US Ports of entry by mainly Americans in cars. You're ignoring that....

Fentanyl does not come from Venezuelan drug Lords or the boats blown up....Venezuela traffics Cocaine....which is bad, but Fentanyl/opiods is more addictive and kills twice as many....

When money is limited, focusing on the greater harm...fentanyl, is more appropriate and better serves us Americans.

So we should let these boats go cuz it’s only cocaine?

You are a lunatic.

 

[struth]

Well thats kind of the point, here.

If it is legal combat and they are enemy combatants, then it is a war crime.

If not, then it is murder.

You got to be some sort of horrible person to think killing narcoterrorist is a crime

How much coke have you done today?

CNN is the perfect place for leftist Kelly as he won’t face any challenge to his leftist opinions. His making claims to “war crimes” found an eager audience while he made no case why sinking the boats of narco terrorists was in any way a crime.

Kelly: First Caribbean Boat Strike a War Crime

Explain how that works. How will powerless Dimwingers prosecute Hegseth?

Let’s see the logistics Fort Fun Indiana

Ok, obviously Fort Fun Indiana didn’t question the talking points he has been fed. Can someone help the lil fella out with my questions?

 

[EMH]

That is their right to make that argument.

It is not their right to tell the military they don't have to obey orders.

 

[HikerGuy83]

So what was the point? It is OK to kill 9 people if you decide you don't like the tenth? It is OK for every person to decide who lives and who dies, if there are no witnesses?

You stated that wars have rules.

They are an attempt to inject some decency into something that isn't descent.

Ignoring the built in conflicts is beyond ignorant.

There are other more "less human" ways to think about war that are more calculated.

What exactly would the charge be?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Fast boats have a four man crew. May as well fly a banner?

 

[konradv]

Oh please.....you're saying the first shot is a war crime.... You're saying they're fishermen....you're saying there's no drugs.....so all of it is a war crime right? Why stop with the second shot?

I’m saying Trump and Hegseth are criminals.

 

[konradv]

The second shot was fake news for useful idiots like yourself.

Did they rescue the survivors?

 

[konradv]

Democrats would rather see Fentanyl flow into the US.

Fentanyl from Venezuela? I don’t think so.

You are a lunatic.

Not because it is cocaine...

You first!
