    Werewolf Architect of bin Laden raid says Trump is working to 'destroy' the country



    "If you want to destroy an organization, any organization, you destroy it from within, you destroy it from without and then what you do is you convince everybody that you're doing the right thing," McRaven told CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead."


    "So when you take a look at what the President has done, he's undermined the intelligence community, the law enforcement community, the Department of Justice, the State Department. He has called the press the enemy of the American people and I will tell you, I've fought a lot of America's enemies. The press is not the enemy of the American people."

    McRaven, who oversaw the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden, added that Trump is also "undermining us from without."

    "He's obviously left our allies the Kurds on the battlefield," McRaven said while outlining a scathing op-ed he wrote for The New York Times. "We feel like we've betrayed them. He's undermined our NATO allies, he's taken us out of the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the Iran nuclear agreement) and the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal) and really the international community has lost faith in America. And then throughout the course of all of this, he's convinced us he's doing it for all the right reasons, and I think that is really what is troubling."

    McRaven's criticism of Trump comes as the President faces a fast-moving impeachment investigation into his contacts with Ukraine and bipartisan criticism over his decision to withdraw US troops from Syria. On Wednesday, the House overwhelmingly passed a resolution opposing the Trump administration's troop withdrawal.
    McRaven's comments to CNN expand on his New York Times op-ed published earlier Thursday under the headline "Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President."
    "...if this president doesn't demonstrate the leadership that America needs, both domestically and abroad, then it is time for a new person in the Oval Office -- Republican, Democrat or independent -- the sooner, the better," he wrote. "The fate of our Republic depends upon it."
    Trump has previously dismissed criticism from McRaven, labeling him a Hillary Clinton supporter in 2018.

    "He's a Hillary Clinton backer and an Obama backer," Trump told Fox News at the time. "And, frankly, wouldn't it have been nice if we got Osama bin Laden a lot sooner than that?"
    CLARIFICATION: The headline and story have been updated to properly reflect McRaven's statements on CNN.
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Just how do you really know the Bin Laden raid was successful? Did anyone actually ever see the Body of Bin Laden before this SAND RAT (who lived in the desert his entire life) was buried at sea?

    Again...you argue about an apple and hold up a banana as supposed evidence. Who gives a rats ass about the opinion of some deep state agent that helped plan a fake military raid? Again...the one's that are screaming the loudest to remove this duly elected PEOPLES PRESIDENT are the ones that are themselves guilty as hell of betraying this nation and its people's trust.

    But he's not the people's president, he's the electoral college's president.

    Bill, there’s a veritable cottage industry of ideologues in the Pentagon and State Department who think the Middle East can’t get along without our boots on the ground. More than a few of them were in daycare on 9/11—it’s all they know.

    Like a young man losing his virginity they literally can’t conceive of pulling out. It’s past time—way past time, for some fresh thinking with regards to what our role is there. We entered Syria under Obama and wound up arming ‘moderates’ who turned out to be the very terrorists we declared war on after 9/11.

    Think about that. That was the idea of one of our Middle East ‘experts’. As was Libya and yes, even Iraq. The ‘experts’ got the Arab uprising all wrong. They were wrong about spreading democracy in the Middle East.

    And now they say Trump is wrong in Syria. Want to wager who is wrong?

    No, they didn't get Arab spring wrong-they fought against it & mostly won... Freedumb & dumbocracy in the ME will get you more Muslim Brotherhoods & they didn't want that. They like the sisi types that get super rich & do what they are told...

    Having 100 personal there isn't war, so stop...

    The point is stopping the turks from genocide, & you know that..

    When I start hearing we pull out of a few hundred other places I will start taking some of this bull shit seriously, & not till then....

    maybe you should pay attention to the fact (now confirmed) that Erdogan informed -did not "discuss"- but inform Trump he was going in.
    as a result the JCOS who was at the WH meeting with Pelosi confirmed he advised Trump to leave

    Or you might consider Russia and Iran "got this "and would have been there sooner if we had left Syria when ISIS
    was done for

    Or you might consider just tuning out out the warhawks completely who say we must stay in Syria
    to protect the Kurds, when Syria is not our concern at all

    To what a real "American" president would have responded by kowtowing??? fuck that.......

    isis isn't done, as I already said & unfortunately you will soon learn......... (so start thinking of spins & excuses & stay ahead of the game)

    I don't listen to warhawks so pls stop the bull shit about it, & war w/ turkey......... You know damn well they would have done nothing if a real man w/ a backbone & a sense of American decency & respect for allies would have picked up the phone.....
