At a time when our commander in chief @realDonaldTrump has proven to be so erratic & dishonorable, willing to betray allies in battle, & put US soldiers & intel ops in unnecessary danger, it’s incredible that our special operations forces remain so professional and effective.
I just hope that people around @realDonaldTrump will curb his desperate need to steal the limelight from the soldiers and leadership who did the real work and took the actual risks in this operation.
Had it gone badly, the President would be disavowing them all this morning.
It just hit me: @realDonaldTrump will claim this morning that his betrayal of our Kurdish allies and surrender of territory and a military base camp to Russia were all part of a plan to get al-Baghdadi. He’ll say he put it all together and no else could have seen it.
As predicted...@rushlimbaugh is now promoting exactly this fabrication. Saying @realDonaldTrump realdonaldtrump Syria cop out, surrender to Russians & betrayal of our Kurdish allies was all part of plan to kill al-Baghdadi... Military leadership/all facts flatly contradict.
