During yesterday’s Congressional briefing by Adm. Frank Bradley regarding the US military ‘double-tap’ strike on September 2, the alleged drug boat was heading to connect with another vessel that was bound for Suriname (a small South American country east of Venezuela), and not the U.S.
From CNN:
According to intelligence collected by US forces, the struck boat planned to “rendezvous” with the second vessel and transfer drugs to it, Adm. Frank Bradley said during the briefings, but the military was unable to locate the second vessel.
Bradley argued there was still a possibility the drug shipment could have ultimately made its way from Suriname to the US, the sources said, telling lawmakers that justified striking the smaller boat even if it wasn’t directly heading to US shores at the time it was hit.
US drug enforcement officials say that trafficking routes via Suriname are primarily destined for European markets. US-bound drug trafficking routes have been concentrated on the Pacific Ocean in recent year.
But, but, but… this whole ‘drug boat’ bombing mission has been predicated on the idea that drugs are coming to the U.S. and that that constitutes a “war.”
But now we learn that the supposed drugs were going to another boat, to go to another country in South America, to then maybe go to Europe.
Or maybe they weren’t going anywhere outside of South America.
Bradley also told lawmakers he asked for legal advice from the Pentagon while the two people were clinging to their lives on the boat, and was told it was legal to kill them.
