Washington (CNN)The US is working to locate and monitor hundreds of people, or "contacts," found as part of the intelligence retrieved during the raid last month in Yemen targeting an al Qaeda affiliate, several US officials told CNN.
[/size]The sources said some of these people are believed to be in the West but not in the United States.

Well that part of Trumps speech gave me cause to appreciate him for possibly the first time.  I was able to see him as a person of strength.  I was so happy to see Ryan's wife get the recognition that her husband deserved.  And Trumps use of scripture was absolutely appropriate.  I saw a different Trump.  A Trump I could appreciate.

Strength requires the ability though to accept responsibility for any parts of the raid which did not go well.  The buck stops at the top.  Commander in Chief is what it is.  To command respect he has to accept leadership.  The good (many Al Qaeda identified) the bad.  (Loss of life).  The mission should be thoroughly investigated and Trump should take good and bad.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Yep and that is where strength turn into weakness and Trump becomes same old person.  The person who never does anything wrong.  In which case he is unbelievable on all fronts.

He ruined the respect with the they.  They is he in every way now.  Trump this and Trump that.  Nobody can do it like Trump.  Trump never wrong.  Never makes a mistake little trump god.

Children do not accept responsibility.  Men do.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
