Trump Boat Bombings Suddenly on Shakier Ground as Damning Info Emerges.
Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?

...Unnervingly, the Post says Bradley ordered the second strike because the survivors were “legitimate targets,” as they could “theoretically call other traffickers to retrieve them and their cargo.” But Goldsmith notes that this would not be an adequate rationale in the face of the laws of war, which the Defense Department binds itself to, and Bradley’s highest duty, says Goldsmith, would have been to refuse to kill the two men regardless of what Hegseth ordered. So hearing from Bradley is essential.
Hegseth, as noted above, denies giving such a spoken order. Perhaps. But even if so, if this report is correct in its other particulars, the live drone feed does in fact show the survivors clinging to the wrecked boat and then getting “blown apart in the water.” So Bradley can be pressed to explain why this happened and what, precisely, Hegseth’s orders were.
