Why Is Seal Team 6 Killing People In Yemen ???

Here they go again:

Pentagon officials confirmed that Navy SEAL Team 6 attacked what they described as an “al-Qaeda headquarters” in Yemen’s central Bayda Province, bragging of killing “about 14” al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula fighters and taking a cache of information. They reported a single soldier killed.


Absent from the Pentagon’s account of what happened over the course of the raid, which supposedly lasted less than an hour, and left a large number of women and children riddled with bullets, including at least one eight-year-old girl named Nora, the daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki, a US cleric who was assassinated by the Obama Administration. The Cairo AP office reported receiving photographs showing the bodies of several young children who were shot multiple times during the raid.  Roughly 57 people were killed overall, according to Yemeni officials, though they claimed a lot more AQAP fighters slain than the US reckoning of 14. Either way, a substantial number of civilians were among the slain.

I doubt any of the dead had anything to do with 9/11, so why did we send Navy Seals to kill them? Just because someone claimed they were "al-Qaeda"?

This is starting to remind me of what "our" government did in Waco, TX on April 19, 1993, when they killed 76 people, many of whom also were innocent women and children.

And PLEASE don't tell me that the Seals are going to blame this on their officers. See here for an exposé of what they have done in the past:

Don't get me wrong - I have respect and admiration for US Special Forces. But all this wanton killing appears to have gotten completely out of hand. Why aren't the anti-Trump protesters upset about this?
