Oh God! Here we go again. The latest faux outrage of the leftest MSM and victims of TDA.
"This one will bring him down!!! (Rubbing hands together and drooling from the mouth). Maybe we can at least get old Pete!! (Giggling, drooling and more rubbing hands together)."
Hey!! You are in good company at least.
"Whoopi Goldberg claimed on Monday that if any American service members were charged with "war crimes" in relation to drug boat strikes, it would be because War Secretary Pete Hegseth had "set them up" to take the fall.
Goldberg and her cohosts on ABC's "The View" insisted that the strikes were illegal and argued that in ordering them, Secretary Hegseth was putting the service members who executed those orders at risk of prosecution.
I can't speak to the law of it, I'm not a geopolitical expert, but in terms of the law of it, you're right, Sara, that is why those Army vets explained do not follow — you do not have to follow illegal orders," Sunny Hostin said.
"You know why? Because if this is deemed to have been war crimes, which by all accounts right now there are seven sources that said Pete Hegseth did say ‘kill them all,' even after there were two survivors," Hostin continued. "What you are supposed to do under international law, you are supposed to take those fighters as war criminals, prisoners of war, and you are supposed to give them refuge and you're supposed to take care of them and then you are supposed to put them into a court of law. Instead, they killed them."
Hostin went on to say that there could be legal consequences for those who gave the orders and for those who carried them out.
"That means the person who gave the order can be held accountable and put in prison, and that means the person that conducted — the people who conducted the orders, that pulled the trigger are also responsible and can be held accountable," she said. "So, now you have people that are serving their countries, that are serving this country as patriots, perhaps following an illegal order and then themselves can be court-martialed. Imagine that."

The talking points of Whoopi and "The View". Wow! I'd hang my head in shame. 😔
That paragon of the right wing media, the NYT, shoots down a lot of what the Post said.

But don't let me stop you. Keep rubbing those hands together, drooling and over exciting yourselves, that: "This time it's real!" 😉
FYI, the boat was still floating and the original order stated "to destroy the boat". Nothing stated about survivors.
Curious 🤨 If they had rescued the Narco Terrorists "survivors", would you be willing to take them into your homes?
As for me and "Narco terrorists" and after what previous administrations did with Islamic Terrorists at Gitmo when they took over…. Well: Sharks and other fish gotta eat too.
Never have to worry about them killing more Americans (yes all countries in the Americas, not just US).
