Generals May Launch New ISIS Raids Without Trump’s OK
The commander in chief is taking heat—and hearing cheers—for a raid in Yemen that killed a SEAL. But for the next mission, Trump may take himself out of the loop altogether.

The White House is considering delegating more authority to the Pentagon to greenlight anti-terrorist operations like the SEAL Team 6 raid in Yemen that cost the life of a Navy SEAL, multiple U.S. officials tell The Daily Beast. It's part of an effort to step up the war on the so-called Islamic State.

President Donald Trump has signaled that he wants his defense secretary, retired Marine Gen. Jim Mattis, to have a freer hand to launch time-sensitive missions quickly, ending what U.S. officials say could be a long approval process under President Barack Obama that critics claimed stalled some missions by hours or days.

Complete and total BullBush! The military can NOT take actions like that without Presidential input and approval. It would be un-Constitutional. A surrender of political control over the military.

In other words,THE PRESIDENT IS APPROVING "fast-tracking" certain missions where time is of the essence,but you can bet your bippy there will be someone political sitting in oversight to monitor and report on the actions of the military.

Which is the OPPOSITE of what the headline states.
