Trump’s Yemen Raid Was a Fiasco and “Highly Likely” a Crime

So to sum up in the space of two days we’ve gone from Trump getting widespread applause for an operation that :
– got some dusty hard drives from one of the most remote and isolated places in the world — supposedly of great intelligence value
– killed one Al-Qaeda “leader” nobody has ever heard of
– and another 13 unspecified, unnamed fighters in an organization that has thousands

To, two days later, having good evidence the raid nearly went awry in military terms and was a massacre of civilians in human terms.

And if media did its job, it would also be a fiasco for Trump in PR terms especially as it killed an American girl, one whose teenage brother had already been murdered by Obama years earlier.
