Al Qaeda leader mocks 'the new fool of the White House' after Yemen raid

Source: CNN

(CNN)Days after a raid on an al Qaeda compound in Yemen led to the first US military combat death under Donald Trump, the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula released an audio message taunting the new American President.

In an 11-minute recording, AQAP leader Qassim al-Rimi condemned the January 29 raid, saying, "The new fool of the White House received a painful slap across his face."

The message was released online Saturday and translated by the SITE Intelligence Group.
WH: President made final call on Yemen raid

In the recording, Rimi also claimed "dozens of Americans were killed and wounded," a number starkly at odds with the US account, which reported the death of one Navy SEAL, Chief Petty Officer William "Ryan" Owens. Three additional SEALs also were wounded.

yet the sock puppet potus and his string puller bannon LIE way too much for me to completely discount this.....bannon was trying to better Obamas' success in getting bin ladin and his computers and these clowns ignored any proper intel given them by some voice from the military/intelligence community because it was their balls going into that enemy compound NOT the SEALS, were NOT even in the situation room and probably did not care about the progress of the mission because they were too smart to fail. The SEALS courage was their courage they believed as all fake cowards in power believe and usually end up showing us what cowards they are in the end. The SEALS and my POTUS Barack Hussein Obama have my highest respect, these 'leaders' do not have any from me and never will.

Every one knows to ignore boasting of al-qaeda who must disseminate propaganda and lies....so it is with this new regime in D.C., to our soldiers and our detriment. This boy-potus and his string puller are obsessed with the fact that an AA can and does think circles around those two now 'running' the country and does have light years more intelligence than president bannon, boy-potus and his whole administration.

True their evil is much more than anticipated, but this country stumbled through the McCarthy Era and hopefully some true investigative journalist(s) the caliber and COURAGE of Edward R. Murrow, Drew Pearson et al. will finally CHALLENGE these dictators in the WH. But remember Murrow bringing down McCarthy caused CBS to ultimately 'fire' him. Our present day news media CEO's are cowards such as this......

So I don't expect it will happen and I won't be surprised when the trains and buses for us dissenters, gays, POC, immigrants and uppity women start rolling toward......
