Question

The Pentagon said last week that there were “no credible indications of civilian casualties” from the latest U.S. Navy SEALs raid on a village in Yemen.

Yet new reporting by The Intercept, citing eyewitness accounts, offers more evidence to contradict the military’s claim.

Residents of the village in Mareb province said that there were in fact 10 civilians killed and wounded, including a 15-year old child who was trying to flee a barrage of firing from Apache helicopters.

His name was Abdullah Saeed Salem al Adhal.

His 22-year-old brother, Murad al Adhal, said to the news outlet that he saw “the nearby hills were filled with the American soldiers.”

“My little brother Abdullah ran for his life with the other women and children. They killed him as he was running,” said Murad, who was also shot in the leg.

Apart from countering U.S. claims about the event, journalist Iona Craig writes, the

eyewitness testimony also raises serious questions about intelligence gathering methods and the ability of decision-makers to determine who is and who is not an Al Qaeda militant amidst Yemen’s multifaceted conflict where loyalties are fluid and pragmatically based.

Answer 1

Not sure why you're laughing at dead innocent civilians, but I have been a staunch critic of Obama's foreign policy and I agree many liberals let his transgressions slide.

Answer 2

Thank you for sharing your rant with us.

Answer 3

I know right, just like regressives are ok with Dumbya throwing away thousands of lives and trillions of dollars for nothing.

Answer 4

I seriously doubt that most of those protesting have never been there or experienced life in a third world Moslem country. Wars are no longer fought with fixed battle lines but instead by guerrilla warfare and the use of terrorism with the bad guys blending in with and using the innocent local population to hide behind and embed themselves in by threat or the use of force. If these people would stand up and fight their own battles like they should for their own country along with helping to stamp out terrorism then they would not need westerners to come and do that for them. Who you should really be angry with are the Saudis and the Jordanians who have sat on the sidelines and not even taken in any Syrian refugees either. They have the military to fight this war-so much for our NATO allies.

Answer 5

All war sucks. My opinion on it transcends partisan lines.



Remember. Pearl Harbor was just "a limited airstrike with no boots on the ground". Think of that next time you support a foreign war with no purpose.
