The New York Times has admitted what the White House, President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth previously affirmed.
Despite the manipulative effort of the original CIA report (Washington Post), which was purposefully intended to undermine the authority and legitimacy of the Trump administration, Secretary Pete Hegseth did not order a second strike on the drug carrying narcoterrorism boat. The second strike was authorized by General Bradley as part of the mission objective.
Hegseth’s order was to “destroy” the vessel. The vessel was not completely “destroyed” in the first attack, it was “disabled.” A second attack was ordered independently by General Bradley to render the vessel destroyed and compete the mission.
If the vessel was destroyed the mission was complete. If the vessel was disabled, the mission objective remained active until the vessel was destroyed. This is not complicated to understand. More
In fact, this term is Trump’s “double tap” on the narco-democrat terrorists.
45-47
Fire at will!
The White House went on to say that ‘Admiral (Frank) Bradley worked well within his authority and the law” in ordering the additional strike’. The claim is that the strikes are self-defense because of Americans dying from drug use.
Give me a break. These attacks are wrong and the attitude of Trump and Hegseth is sick. Over 80 people have died in these attacks; no arrest, no trial. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
hey Jason,why don’t you go float out on a raft and welcome those drug smugglers.Tell them your on their side and it’s okay to bring in drugs because your one of the buyers.You are stupid…..
” This is not complicated to understand.” To the friggin democrats this is incomprehensible. On second thought they understand completely. Their objection is that the Trump administration is doing it.
I believe anon is on to something.
Jason’s supply chain is in jeopardy…
So Jason was okay with O Bunbles launching 563 drone strikes during his eight years, even killing an American citizen. Some breaks need to be given here JJ.
The strikes should serve as a deterrent to drug smugglers to not send any more boats across the open ocean. At 73,000 deaths per year due to fentanyl, this government is well within its powers to take extreme measures to stop the flow of this poison.

Andy McCarthy sides with Jason;
“If this happened as described in the Post report, it was, at best, a war crime under federal law,” McCarthy wrote. “I say ‘at best’ because, as regular readers know, I believe the attacks on these suspected drug boats — without congressional authorization, under circumstances in which the boat operators pose no military threat to the United States, and given that narcotics trafficking is defined in federal law as a crime rather than as terrorist activity, much less an act of war — are lawless and therefore that the killings are not legitimate under the law or armed conflict.”
I posted last month that I was against these drug boat bombings, not so much on the legality (although that is a factor) but that I don’t trust our intelligence agencies to get it right. Killing everyone and blowing up the evidence bolsters your assertion that it was a drug boat and not a pleasure or fishing craft.
Also, how do you square this circle;

400 tons of blow is substantial.
This is about regime change and everyone knows it. Trump said he was against regime change. He said he would end that practice. But I guess when there’s this much oil and other resources available, all bets are off.
I understand those that have their lips hoovered to Trump’s ass won’t get it but I shouldn’t have to explain it to the rest of you.
New sheriff in town, Jason.
We no longer fight with one hand tied behind our back.
The war on drugs was a failure.
Fuck the libs passing out free drug needles.
No sympathy for these devils…
I bet Jason wants weed legal nationwide.
Remember Manuel Noriega?
Remember Grenada?
Jason
WRONG. This is about election integrity and a color revolution. And killen commies.
How much “slack and sympathy” do you think those driving those boats has for the average citizen who may inadvertently interfere with drug shipments?
They are enemy combatants and deserve death just as every terrorist interned at Guantanamo deserves the big nap.🤔🤗😉
So it’s about the OIL, Jason? I thought it was about the JOOOS!
Isn’t it always about the JOOOS?
🎵 🎵
“Make me a Sargent, give me the booze!”
“Make me a Sargent, give me the
boozeJOOOS!Stand by your President, Jason. We’re here fer ya. Hehehehe. 🤪
They’re enemy combatants waging war on US citizens.
Fair game.
Isn’t it odd that double-tapping Trump with articles of impeachment was A-OK though…
poor druggies, just trying to make $$$ – pedotwats like space-****** m. kelly, c. murphy & the vagina-men/vindman bros., keep whining
Facts
The CIA/Deep State tried to kill Trump twice. The CIA/Deep State killed Charlie Kirk. The CIA/Deep State is currently headquartered in Venezuela. That no fly zone. Yea it’s to keep people from leaving. Let the games begin.
To the communists and persons too stupid to know whether they are punched or bored who suggest our government’s destruction of drug smuggling boats, the drugs and people on board, is wrong, the people innocent: The price of cocaine in the United States is up 25 to 50 % in recent weeks. This means the boats being destroyed are carrying the drug, among other drugs. The people running the boats are members of the organization and paid to do the work. The whole operation is run by the crypto marxist government of Venezuela, and the cartel(s) and Venezuelan government cooperate closely with the Marxist government of Columbia in their effort to supply the drugs to THE ENTIRE WORLD not just the USA.
You scumbags approved your boy 0bama ordering the murder of American citizens abroad without any ‘due process’, hell, you cheered those attacks. If you are an enemy, go and join your people.
Jason upvotes himself 4 times. I’ll bet Jason shed many tears over that carload including 8 kids that Biden blew up after his disastrous Afghan withdrawal. No repercussions. Kirby – oops, this is a learning experience, never mind. But plenty of tears for narco terrorists bringing drugs to the US. On the payroll, Jason?
Nothing new under the sun. See Battle of the Bismarck Sea, 4/43, 8 destroyers, 8 marus from Rabaul to reinforce and resupply Lae, New Guinea. Four DD survived, zero marus. Thousands of Jpn troops killed, hundreds in the water within easy reach and rescue from Lae to be faced later in the jungle. Still a threat, so we machine gunned them. By the hundreds. Went all the way up to MacA and maybe even the proto-JCS without too much objection, iirc. Distasteful, to be sure, but this was total war. After many years of Jpn atrocities including shooting aviators in parachutes from the very force that attacked them among many, many other niceties), the pilots were not amused and the gloves came off. After a few early rescues, relatively few Jpn reinforcements made it to Lae (1200/9600, no eqpmt).The Aussies, who did much of the fighting in that area certainly didn’t object. So there is something of a precedent. The lines got even blurrier in VN.
Druggies in fast boats adding to the 100k/yr death toll? Sorry, no mercy. They have been warned, yet they proceed. Ya pays yer nickel… Sooner or later there’ll be no boats and/or drivers. Desirable end state reached. B-b-but, they’ll fly it over…. Sidewinders and mach guns, etc. Overland? Mavs and MGs. You get the drift. You smuggle, you die. A simple calculus even the smugglers can figure and already have. They’re squirming, but they have bills. The collectors are meaner than we are so they’ll persist. For a while.
PS, Rick T, there are exactly zero humble fishermen in Venezuela with a $100,000+ rack of motors on the transom and tightly packed, plastic-wrapped parcels, bilge to gunwale, out casting nets and throwing fishing line at 50+ kts.
The left keep screeching, “This is a war crime!” and no “Congressional approval!” to blow up Venezuelan cocaine (not powdered sugar) boats. It’s continued Demwit brainwashing.
Facts: The US has not declared war against Venezuela. Venezuelan drug dealers on these boats are in effect pirates encroaching on US territories – an immediate deadly threat, so no Congressional approval is necessary for President Trump to act to protect the US border. That’s already been given since he is Commander in Chief.
The US President has had the authority since America’s founding to blow up invaders out of the waters bordering the US, until they are a combination of mist, splintered boat particles and, in this case, the cocaine they’re attempting to transport to America’s shores. Good job, President Trump. Carry on!
Issue letters of marque and reprisal and call it done.
