Retired Admiral William McRaven has published an op-ed in Friday's New York Times titled, "Our Republic Is Under Attack From the President," urging that Trump be removed from office — "the sooner, the better."
McRaven is a fraud.
The "raid" on bin Laden is yet another Big Lie.

No DNA analysis was done on the body.
I am not aware of any still photos nor video of the raid showing bin Laden being killed. Zero. One memorable photo shows what appears to be a Pashtun (?) tribesman watching an old fashioned CRT television. This is farcical as bin Laden belonged to one of the Middle East's wealthiest families. Why would he be watching a CRT television?
Paul Craig Roberts, the consummate insider, said there was a military coup on the morning of 9/11/2001.
Leon Panetta, who was CIA director during the bin Laden raid and later served as secretary of defense, said Trump owed an apology to McRaven and to all of those in the military and intelligence agencies who played a role in tracking down bin Laden and carrying out the risky raid into Pakistan. He called Trump's remark "patently ridiculous."s
Some of Trump's most ardent foes are in one way or another linked to the CIA or the Pentagon. Panetta.
Barack Obama.
George "Dubya" Bush.

Trump's problem is that he went live with his opposition to the interminable, costly wars in the Middle East.
If Mitch McConnell--another POS--turns on Trump(and I trust MM like I'd trust Don Lemon in a YMCA shower)it's all over.What will/has Trump agree(d)to with McConnell to save his presidency?
ReplyDeleteRemember,you can't spell McConnell without using the word "Con".

I consulted with military legal authority on this issue and am told that what McRaven did is a violation of UCMJ Article 88. A courts martial offense even for a retired officer. Normally an officer of general or admiral rank even when retired must adhere to Article 88. No criticism of the President or members of Congress allowed.
