So much for the Democrats’ favorite war crime fantasy. Turns out the second strike on that drug-running boat in the Caribbean wasn’t some bloodthirsty rampage — it was a clean, justified mission. And now, new intel is blowing a massive hole in the media’s narrative.
Remember the Washington Post’s big “exclusive” over the weekend? The one where they breathlessly claimed that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth gave a “kill them all” order after two narco-terrorists were allegedly floating helplessly in the water? Yeah, that story’s falling apart faster than Biden trying to form a sentence.
According to ABC News — yes, even ABC — the situation was far from what the Democrats and their media puppets described. Anchor Martha Raddatz, no conservative cheerleader, said the two survivors actually climbed back on the boat after the first strike. They weren’t clinging to debris — they were trying to salvage their drug cargo and were possibly communicating with their cartel buddies. In other words, they were still in the fight.
A JAG officer was advising the team on the ground, so this wasn’t some rogue operation. It was textbook military protocol. If you’re actively recovering contraband and coordinating with your network, you’re not a survivor — you’re a target.

But that didn’t stop the screaming heads on “The View” from calling it a war crime. Joy Behar and her clueless crew practically demanded that Hegseth be dragged in front of a tribunal. Why? Because he dared to finish the mission and keep our troops safe.
The left wanted a scandal. What they got was a reminder that America under Trump doesn’t play games with narco-terrorists.
So before you believe the next anonymously sourced hit piece, maybe wait for the actual intel.
