Dad calls for investigation into Navy SEAL son’s death in Trump mission

The father of the Navy SEAL slain during a botched January al Qaeda raid in Yemen berated the White House for calling the mission a success and demanded an investigation during his first interview since the incident.


“Don’t hide behind my son’s death to prevent an investigation,” Bill Owens told The Miami Herald from his home in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. “I want an investigation. … The government owes my son an investigation.”


Owens recalled telling a chaplain who informed him that President Trump was en route to his house that he didn’t want to meet the president following the Jan. 28 death of his son, William “Ryan” Owens, who was a part of the elite SEAL Team 6.


“I’m sorry, I don’t want to see him,’’ Owens remembered saying to the chaplain. “I told them I don’t want to meet the president.”


“I told them I didn’t want to make a scene about it, but my conscience wouldn’t let me talk to him,” Owens said.


Also a military veteran, the Florida father was bothered by Trump’s treatment of Gold Star parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan during his campaign.


Now that Owens is a Gold Star parent, he told the paper he felt reservations about the Trump Administration’s decision to undertake the mission, which the new president launched almost immediately after taking office.


The SEAL and some 29 civilians were killed during the anti-terrorism mission in Yemen, after their cover was blown.


“Why at this time did there have to be this stupid mission when it wasn’t even barely a week into his administration? Why?” the distraught father asked. “For two years prior, there were no boots on the ground in Yemen — everything was missiles and drones — because there was not a target worth one American life. Now, all of a sudden we had to make this grand display?’’

Trump is a pig. He couldn't care less about anyone but himself.

So, this is different than the many Seal Team 6 members that died when Obama was in charge? What a coincidence! Were they killed because they knew Obama was lying? Where is the photo's of Bin Ladin dead? Come on...we even saw a video of Saddam hanging from the rafters....yet not ONE picture of Bin Ladin before he was tossed off in the sea? Someone ALWAYS gets pictures of these things....but not one has come up.

Bin Laden ? Well if you think OBL is alive then demand that Trump capture him. Here he is ordering raids while looking over the menu dinner instead of organizing a search for the man behind 9/11. His wall certainly won't protect us from another attack by a terrorist mastermind of his caliber. Why do you support him wasting resources and time while the world most notorious terrorist plots to murder us all ? Is that what you want ? You want us to all die while he ignores this menace ? What do you get out of it, another made in China MAGA hat for your mantle ?

I'll bet donuts on who Owen's dad voted for. It's a shame that someone would use the death of a patriot, much less their son, to attack a political enemy.

Wow...so some distraught Clinton voter who lost his son in a military mission originally planned by Obama's team calls it stupid?

He knows more than the military brass, the mission planners and commanders, and the former Commander-in-chief as well???? Not to mention the Kahn family being brought into it as they were at DNC Convention again. Back when the Kahn's son died Obama was at the wheel. ...but no, that didn't matter, smear Trump 8 years after the fact.

Disgusting...

Much too transparent. One has to wonder who put Mr. Owen up to it. My bet is John McCain. And I would add that as a Navy Seal, Ryan Owens would be sorely disappointed that his father chose to play politics on his grave. Most likely for a price as did the Khans.

+1

He's more likely to be concerned with Russia's troops than Americas

Most likely wondering if Pooty Poots troops faced any casualties in Crimea

How dare a man question Trump when he went through all of the trouble of almost interrupting his dinner out on the town to make a life or death decision that killed his son ? The nerve of that guy. Next thing you know the people who put him up to it will shamelessly exploit his grief with a primes speaking roles at their biggest event.

It'll probably go something like this:

Hypocrite much ?

You would know. Family and familiarity. Birds of a feather....same thing.

No doubt about it. And by the way, that pic of Obama sitting on a bucket in the Situation Room was taken after they dragged him off the golf course.

Do you think Trump made the decision on his deportation order while enjoying a Taco Bell taco bowl

LOL !!!

I love how you gopers just glaze over your glaring hypocrisy and hope nobody notices. Attacking the guy for what you've already done because you THINK he's going to do it too.

At least Obama decided to joy them. Trump couldn't torn away from devouring shrimp appetizer long enough to be bothered by the duties of the office.

"Joy them"?

I'll have to guess you meant "join". And also, if you're referring to the picture of the Commander- in-Chief sitting on a bucket in the Situation Room, I can't help but remember Rosa Parks not giving up her seat on the bus.

"Taco Bowl" is a racist term now since democrats used it to describe latinos in their emails.

You're showing your bigotry there.

Possibly, another innocent 8 year-old American life will also be mentioned? The one who was shot in the neck and bled out over two hours.

"Nawar, who went by Nora, was the daughter of New Mexico–born Al Qaeda leader Anwar Al-Awlaki, who was killed in a U.S. raid five years ago. At the time, some worried that the targeted killing of Al-Awlaki would 'transform someone who was, at best, a marginal figure into a martyr, and Karen Greenberg, the director of Fordham University’s Center on National Security, said Nora’s death could be used the same way. 'The perception will be that it’s not enough to kill Al-Awlaki — that the U.S. had to kill the entire family,' she told NBC."

Trump wouldn't give up his dessert let alone his seat in that restaurant. Sent a soldier to his death but on the other hand the steak was terrific. So for him the night turned out a wash.

Pro-government tribal leader among dead in US raid in Yemen
The main figure killed in last month's U.S. raid in Yemen targeting al-Qaida was a tribal leader who was allied to the country's U.S.- and Saudi-backed president and had been enlisted to fight Yemen's Shiite rebels, according to military officials, tribal figures and relatives.

The government connections of tribal chief Sheikh Abdel-Raouf al-Dhahab raise further questions over the planning of a raid that turned into a heavy firefight with casualties on both sides.

One U.S. Navy Seal was killed, six American soldiers were wounded and a military aircraft suffered a hard landing and had to be destroyed in the assault, which took place days after President Donald Trump's inauguration.

Survivors and witnesses say at least 25 Yemenis were killed, including 10 children and nine women, raising outrage in Yemen and prompting the government to ask Washington for a review of the Jan. 29 assault on the tiny village of Yakla.

Tell me what I'm missing here

If President Sanders had picked Tulsi for his Secretary of State, we might be celebrating the end of the Syrian Civil War instead of considering Articles of Impeachment?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/26/tulsi-gabbard-bashar-al-assad-syria-democrats

"Democrats were silent on Thursday as Tulsi Gabbard, one of the party’s sitting lawmakers in Congress, announced that she had met with Bashar al-Assad during a trip to war-torn Syria and dismissed his entire opposition as “terrorists”.

"Gabbard, a Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, disclosed her meeting with the Syrian president on Wednesday, during what her office called a “fact-finding” mission in the region."

Dems were silent because the side they backed in the post Arab Spring uprising lost. Assad proved he could be a brutal dictator in pushed to the point of losing power. When Saddam crushed the Sunni uprising we sided with after the 1st Gulf War. The whole country looked away.
