Navy admiral tells lawmakers there was no 'kill all' order in attack that killed drug boat survivors

[OODA_Loop]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Navy admiral told lawmakers Thursday that there was no “kill them all” order from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as Congress scrutinizes an attack that killed two survivors of an initial strike on an alleged drug boat in international waters near Venezuela.

Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley "was very clear that he was given no such order, to give no quarter or to kill them all. He was given an order that, of course, was written down in great detail,” said Sen. Tom Cotton, who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, as he exited a classified briefing.

Just as most expected Bradley is the fall guy. Wonder what they promised him after he resigns.

Pardon, and reinstatement of his retirement pension???

Bradley did nothing wrong. He is a hero.

Liberals are always the first out of the gate with nothing more than their masters talking points.
Then the actual facts come to light.......
Liberals then have to back up their misinformation with bull shit.

CNN runs with one unnamed source saying....Hegseth "done it".
NY TIMES with 4 unnamed sources saying....Hegseth said "no such thing".

Liberals then have to back up their misinformation with bull shit.

Liberals are very consistent when it comes to their bull shit.

Let's remember that it was WAPO that originally leaked the story based on a the UNVERIFIED WORD OF A SINGLE "anonymous source". The Washington Post should be forced to put TABLOID in big bold letters on every paper they produce. They are trash suitable for bird cage liner, certainly not "news".

At the time of the attack, Bradley was the commander of Joint Special Operations Command, overseeing coordinated operations between the military's elite special operations units out of Fort Bragg in North Carolina. About a month after the strike, he was promoted to commander of U.S. Special Operations Command.

His military career, spanning more than three decades, was mostly spent serving in the elite Navy SEALs and commanding joint operations. He was among the first special forces officers to deploy to Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 attacks. His latest promotion to admiral was approved by unanimous voice vote in the Senate this year, and Democratic and Republican senators praised his record.

There are also was JAG providing real time consultation.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said after leaving a briefing with Bradley on Thursday that a JAG had been present in the command center at the time of the strikes.

"Yes. Look, this is not like a firefight in some cave in Afghanistan that had three people. This was witnessed by literally hundreds of uniformed and civilian personnel at the Pentagon at Fort Bragg, at other installations. Dozens of them were lawyers. Everybody was watching everybody and seeing the intelligence and the legal basis leading up to these strikes. Everyone is present during it, and that continues to be the case."

Funny. If there was a kill them all order you'd say Trump should be impeached.

It's become clear that you folks don't care what the situation is......you're going to twist it into whatever you thinks will prove your point.
The fact of this is, if there was no kill order....then the only person responsible is the person who pulled the trigger. Nobody else in the chain of command authorized it.

Seems like the air is leaking out of this "scandal".

Another NARRATIVE from the demented LEFT has been BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER.

They'll have a new one next Tuesday.

Doesn’t matter. Lies and denial are truth to democrats.

OK so 2 anonymous sources leaked the story to WAPO. I guess they vetted each other, so that makes it legit. My bad.

Don't try to confuse a malicious left with facts though. They have their current talking orders to pretend Hegseth said it and Trump told him to do it. They care nothing about truth. Just the propaganda.

Do you honestly think a propaganda promoting publication is more credible when it cites two anonymous sources instead of one?

The 2 survivors never surrendered. They tried to get back in the boat radio for help and save the drugs. They were still in the fight making them lawful targets.
