Pete Hegseth lashes out at 'kill them all' report on boat strikes

[Rogue AI]

First review the tape openly, full transparency to determine if a crime was committed....

Shooting unarmed people in the water is a war crime (if a in a war), there is also the possibility that the whole attack is a a crime... These boats are not a direct threat to US and minimum force should be applied...

US strikes on 'Venezuela drug boats': are they legal?

Experts have suggested several attacks launched by the US may be illegal under international law.

This should be made public to start...

There is no need to make this public just to satisfy the curiosity of the out of power people. You loons can always have a million hearings and investigations if you ever win the House or Senate again.

 

[CowboyTed]

So this just political theater based on hearsay or pure fabrication. That reeks of sedition, not whistleblowing, and that should be addressed long before some discussion on the ROE in the Caribbean.

Well then just release the tapes... If you want to accuse sedition then this would be the first thing in discovery...

So if they want to make that accusation, go on ahead...

Please go arrest that journalist... Judge will ask for there evidence first thing...

Have you got it... Please do it...

 

[Mack The Finger]

No witch hunt.

Agreed ask the pilots and examine to footage of the strike.

If the 2nd strike was on survivors of the first strike in the water it on wastage - then start asking to the chain of command. Determine who B issued the orders.

Why bother...the personal are the cream of the crop.

They don't make mistakes and this fire mission was probably planned a month ago.

You got a bunch of hacks and armchair quarterbacks' stirring the poop bowl up...thats all. ObamaChrist did the same thing and the people who defended him are now calling a team fowl on OMB.

One thing about the Chain of Command...they want to resolve things at the lowest level.

Expect this one to go away quickly !

Release nothing, you loons don't need to know. File for a FOIA release of information like everyone else.

So you don't think that Congress or Senate has the job of oversight over the executive branch...

Zero belief in the constitution...

Trump may give Pete a pardon but there will be a international arrest warrant for him issued if the evidence is produced... good luck when change of Government...

Sorry classified military operational information.

I liked the old Stan Kubrick movie "Paths of Glory."

I'll bet a lot of the lefties on here have seen it many times.

I've seen a few of his movies...A Clock Work Orange is my fav.

I doubt I'd ever watch it again since I saw it like 4 times.

I bought the book when I was in London...the movie was true to it.

(I read it on the train to Liverpool)

The only good narcoterrorist is a dead narcoterrorist.

Let the lefties be on their side.

They prove every day they hate this country.

Yes, good book.

I read somewhere that they author said that the home invastion husband-beating, wife-raping scene was based on a true event that happened to his wife and him in Berlin, but that the perps were U.S. G.I's, not brit punks.

Eeeh.

Simple question to see if you are sincere:

Who should be called first by congress: the reporter who broke the story, followed by his supposed source, or someone else who would be grilled by people who assume that the story is true?

Congress has close to $40 trillion in debt to concern them. They should get on that first. Not some silly ROE squabble.

No crime, no need for a pardon. Keep your silly fantasies to yourself.

It's congress, not a middle school play.

Hegseth will be the first to go under oath. They will get his perjury on the record then call everyone else to set it straight.

They should clearly start with the potential sedition with the reporter and 'source' if they even exist.

 

[Delldude]

That’s not what the press secretary said.

Just heard the clip.... she said the secretary approved these kinetic strikes.
These is plural as in the whole OP.

 

[Lesh]

Apparently not by Hegseth. You loons

have problems now, you failed in your attempt and put the seditious six back in the cross hairs. Funny how this 'story' materialized just in time to aid those scumbags.

Leavitt said Hesgtj authorized the STRIKES

Is their reasonable possibility a second strike was needed for purposes other than our military just executing innocent Venezuelans on the high seas wanton and willfully to support Trump.


Absolutely.

really? What excuse could there be. The boat was no longer “speeding towards our shores”. Actually it never was, it didn’t have that kind of range

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Just heard the clip.... she said the secretary approved these kinetic strikes.

Or possibly just the two strikes at issue.

Since she had just admitted there were two strikes, that seems more likely.

Not approved liar

AUTHORIZED (ordered) strikes (plural)

Leavitt said Hesgtj authorized the STRIKES

Which ones? Be specific.

AUTHORIZED (ordered) strikes (plural)

If hegseth had not bombed a second time, you all would be blaming him for leaving them to drown or get eaten by sharks.

Nope, because he would have rescued them, as he did the next time this happened.

He rescued two survivors and then released them to their home countries.

An odd thing to do, with people labeled enemy combatants. But I digress.

But that's what he did. It's like he got some legal advice sometime between these two incidents, or something.
