SEAL Team 6’s weekend raid in Yemen killed a lot of people, with local officials putting the toll at 57 slain. The Pentagon hasn’t finalized their own toll, but is hard at work shifting their narrative after media reports of a large number of women and children getting shot up in the hour-long raid.
Though they didn’t mention it at all yesterday, the Pentagon is now claiming that there “were a lot of female combatants” involved in the fighting, and that of the 14 people they say were killed in the fighting, there were a number of women.
The Pentagon refused to comment on the images of several slain children, including the eight-year-old of US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, saying they’re still “evaluating” the death toll. They stuck to the 14 terrorists killed figure from yesterday despite credible reports of a lot more dead bodies than that being left in the wake of the US attack, leaving totally open who all the rest of the slain were.
One US soldier was reported killed in the offensive, and three others wounded. A fourth US soldier was also wounded in the first evacuation attempt, during which a V-22 Osprey crashed. This was the first ground raid authorized by President Trump, who bragged it would “assist the US in preventing terrorism.”
“Female fighters” in the Yemen? Really, guys, you need to do better than that!
Stand tall, America! From slaughtering Indians, Filipinos, Asians, American citizens, we have extended our proud tradition of psychosis to the Middle East. Have the American people no conscience? I think not.
The American people have been conditioned to fear by the State. When that fear goes unresolved, it turns to anger – and violence. When the anger and resultant violence goes unresolved, the next step is, as you point out, psychosis and the irrational backlash that follows. That is where many Americans currently reside…easily manipulated …easily corrupted by the constant fueling of that fear.
I fear that we are quickly getting to the point where there are no longer rational solutions to this psychosis. The saving grace, for me, is that I am approaching my extinction – hopefully I can escape before the proverbial SHTF.
Pentagon Defends Yemen Killings, Insists Slain Were
‘Female Combatants’… a Lot of Dead Women and Children
I would expect this kind of sick convoluted rationale from the
murdering racist psychopaths in the Pentagon.
Forget the fact these bastards are in another country slaughtering
women and kids, this current USG atrocity will somehow prevent
future acts of (terrorism) according to the Trumpster.
The Evil Empire strikes again.
Despicable.
The Pentagon will defend any and all killings.
After 8 years of bombing and killing civilians in other countries under Obama, I suspect that finally we’ll see the Democrats protesting against these imperial storm troopers killing at will. Of course, Obama will maintain his saintly image while Trump will continue to be the devil incarnate.

Both Trump and Obama should face war-crimes charges for this. “Female combatants”? In Al-Qaeda? I guess they had some “child combatants” too. Sickening.
Oh don’t worry, they are investigating and will get back to us in about 100 years.
