Who is telling the truth? (neither party...)

In my opinion, the reason trump said he wouldn't have wanted a second hit is that he wants to covering his butt for any possible investigation or litigation. He'd rather Pentagon pete walk the plank. He probably slept good that night... 👀 “I wouldn’t have wanted that, not a second strike,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington. “The first strike was very lethal; it was fine. And if there were two people around … but Pete said that didn’t happen. I have great confidence in him. “I’m going to find out about it, but Pete said he did not order the death of those two men.”

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said Sunday he believes "it's very possible there was a war crime committed" in the administration's first strike against an alleged drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean Sea in September. "I think it's very possible there was a war crime committed. Of course, for it to be a war crime, you have to accept the Trump administration's whole construct here ... which is we're in armed conflict, at war with this particular -- with the drug gangs. Of course, they've never presented the public with the information they've got here," Van Hollen said on ABC News' "This Week." "If that theory is wrong, then it's plain murder." So if war crimes were committed, Admiral Frank M. "Mitch" Bradley and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth would most likely be the two upfront characters that would be tried, I believe by a military court. However, if it is not classified as war they would be tried for murder. Others most likely would be involved... According to recent news reports based on leaked information, U.S. Navy Admiral Frank M. "Mitch" Bradley ordered a second missile strike on two survivors of an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Caribbean in September 2025. This was reportedly done to comply with a directive from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to "kill everybody" on board the vessel.
