Now let me get this right. The military wanted to carry out this raid but Obama wouldn't sanction it preferring to leave it up to Trump.
Trump said OK as the military had planned it all and (presumably) made the decision based on what the military had informed him.
The operation went pear shaped and it's Trump's fault?
WTF.
