Re: Aeromexico's Ad in Response to Donald Trump
That's funny, right there.
Mexico has one of he strictest and most heavy-handedly enforced boarders in North America, and quite possibly the entire Americas. Not to mention most of the country is a hell-hole filled with corruption and violence and the government doesn't provide for the welfare for its poorest citizens.
And they want to lecture us?

Yeah, they kind of would. Not everyone wins Bob. Sorry, this is the real world. When tough decisions are made, there will always be the single one exception trolls like yourself can find to say "Well look at this!". No war is without its innocent casualties. I'm thankful spineless ninnies like yourself don't run things because it would be a short run until someone else (i.e. foreign power) takes over.

Re: Aeromexico's Ad in Response to Donald Trump
We're not at war with this kid's parents. In fact, not one person from any of the countries Donny has illegally banned has launched an attack against the United States. Which isn't true about the four countries Donny exempted from his ban because he doesn't want to interfere with his own business operations. --BobBackInTex wrote:Yeah, they kind of would.

Re: Aeromexico's Ad in Response to Donald Trump
And military officials are saying that Donny screwed up his first military decision. The men and women who put their lives on the line for us deserve better.
Concerns about the adequacy of intelligence are why President Obama didn't green light the operation. Perhaps now that the current Commander in Chief has personally discharged the responsibility of conveying condolences to the family of a service member, he'll be more careful in the future. But the White House's continued bellicose language leaves me very skeptical. --BobReuters wrote:U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.
As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.

The truth is, you have no idea why the raid was not authorized by Obama. It could have been because he had several close friends there.
Says nothing about the adequacy of the intelligence. It says operational reasons. That could be anything from not having the necessary personnel, equipment, or support teams in place, or the weather.A White House official said the operation was thoroughly vetted by the previous administration and that the previous defense secretary had signed off on it in January. The raid was delayed for operational reasons, the White House official said.

Well, there's this quote from the article I linked: "The decision was made ... to leave it to the incoming administration, partly in the hope that more and better intelligence could be collected,” that official said.BackInTex wrote:Where the hell did you pull that out of? The article you linked to says nothing of the sort. Nothing. You made it up.

The truth is, you have no idea why the raid was not authorized by Obama. It could have been because he had several close friends there.
Or, we could use this article:
This isn't me making anything up. This is U.S. military officials, who pretty much had to be in the room when the decision was made.Reuters wrote:U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.
As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.
I hate to burst your bubble (not really). But as citizens, we owe it to our military to be sure our government uses them both appropriately and competently. Donny's first decision suggests that he fell down on this aspect of the job. Let's see whether he learns from his mistakes. --Bob
