U.S President Donald Trump took to Twitter to lash out at Republican
senator John McCain and Democratic Senator, Richard Blumenthal after
they
criticized the U.S Military's secret raid on Yemen, authorized by Donald
Trump that killed at least 23 civilians, including women and children
and also led to the death of a Navy Seal, Chief Petty Officer William
"Ryan" Owens.
The operation carried out by Special
Navy seals, which occurred on the 29th of January, was to target and
eliminate al Qaeda members in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and also
obtain Intel on future operations against al Qaeda in Yemen.
The
mission, just like previous raids of past president Barack Obama on
Yemen soil, was considered a success according to Defense secretary
James Mattis and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph
Dunford, but senators Blumenthal and McCain have criticized the
operation, saying such an operation that cost the life of a Navy Seal
was unnecessary.
Trump took to his Twitter
account to blast them and even attacked CNN and it's reporter Chris
Cuomo for not talking about Blumenthal's 'lie' that he served in
Vietnam.
