Niger
October 19, 2017 10:21 Book stuff | Food for Thought
Niger and the death of four servicemen; something is wrong at the White House.
I am disturbed about all the nonsense swirling around Niger and the four American service men killed.
First, the circumstances about their ambush seem iffy. It sounds questionable like someone talked too much. And the brass and White House is not plan this out right.
Second, the President called the families of the service men, 12 days after it was announced they had been killed and ONLY after the press started asking questions. Waiting is good. 12 days, not so much.
Third, what the President may have said to one service man’s wife. Would you say this kind of thing?
And finally, the new revelation about $25,000 promised to a father of another service man killed. So does every service person’s family get $25,000? Why was he special? Why was the money promised not sent until, again, the press said something?
All of this is not Presidential! All of this are things we don’t need. SAD!
