Apparently If It's Not Tweeted About, It's Nothing Important . . .

The Gadfly as well has been curious about this incident and is gobsmacked as to why there has been absolutely no mention of it from Drumpfdolf Tweetler -- going on a week now:

WASHINGTON — When a team of Green Berets in unarmored pickup trucks came under fire in Niger last week, they quickly found themselves in the middle of a nightmare battlefield scenario: outgunned, taking casualties and far from friendly support.

The operation, which left four American soldiers dead and two wounded, is now under investigation, Pentagon officials said. That inquiry, senior military officials said, will likely reveal that the American troops had deployed to a hostile area without adequately assessing the risk, and lacked ready access to medical support.

Almost 7 days have passed since this occurred.

Drumpf very clearly seems to have had plenty of free Tweeting time this past week - what with keeping up his fight with the NFL players, smearing Puerto Rico's mayor, threatening the media, and getting in an insult pissing match with the one of the GOP's most powerful senators.

But so strange -- not so much as a peep about these lost - actually they were murdered - Green Berets.

Not one twingle tweet.

But he loves our troops - or claims to anyway - just doesn't have the time to mention them - at all - during any of his around-the-clock Tweetstorms.

Almost 7 days have passed since four United States Green Berets were murdered on foreign soil - and not one public word about it from their commander-in-chief.  Tell The Gadfly that there is nothing wrong with this picture.  Go ahead -- tell him.

. . .

IS NOT NORMAL.

What's going on in this White House IS NOT NORMAL! . . . and The Gadfly hates being repetitious about this NOT NORMAL stuff, but someone needs to be pointing it out to those who care.

. . . and don't even get The Gadfly started on the Benghazi parallels here . . . . nope . . . we'll revisit that fraudulent pile of multiple investigations horseshit at some future post.
