Our so-called president's first military action: success or failure?

quote [ The operation raises serious questions about the planning and decision-making of the current occupant of the Oval Office, as well as the truthfulness of information coming out of the White House. ]

Much of this debate has focused on the personal conflict between Senator McCain and the White House and the relative sacrifice of a dead US Navy Seal. Not so much discussion of the 23 civilians killed in the botched raid.

Thumbnail is 8-year-old Nawar al-Awlaki, US citizen, killed in the raid.

Thing is Chief Owens went on that mission as a volunteer knowing full well he was risking his life and might not come back. Those 23 civilians, including 13 children, never had that choice. It makes little difference to them or their families that the SEALs weren't 'after them'.
