Senator McCain says Trump administration not being up front about Niger attack

Sen. John McCain argued Wednesday that the Trump administration is not being forthcoming about the attack in Niger that left four US soldiers dead and two wounded.

Asked if he thinks Congress should launch an investigation into the attack, the chairman of the Senate armed services committee told reporters that first he would like to get the information that his panel "deserves and needs."


"Then you decide whether a quote investigation is needed or not," he said.
Pressed further on whether the administration was being up front about the ISIS-affiliated attack, McCain answered bluntly: "No."

The Arizona Republican did not go into detail about what kind of information he was looking for, saying only that he was interested in "all the specifics."
"That's why we're called the Senate armed services committee. It's because we have oversight of our military," he said. "So we deserve to have all the information."

The Defense Department is conducting an initial review of the deadly attack, searching for precise answers as to how 50 ISIS-affiliated fighters were able to ambush the group of soldiers two weeks ago.

I want to know what Trump is hiding here. Why say nothing for days then he is very defensive. I think we need a few years of investigation here.

Only GOP scumbags use dead heros to advance their craven political goals - this will go nowhere.

It's been over TWO weeks now and Trump still hasn't acknowledged this was a terrorist attack!

it wasn't a terrorist attack. It was an ambush by people aligned to terrorists. In Iraq or Afghanistan, ambushes on US troops were considered military engagements, not terrorist attacks. Geez, some of you posters are stupid.

Here is the picture of Trump denying 'he knew what he was signing up for...' - his body is not lying

What was the nature of the attack, what are we doing there? Why did Trump officials let this happen and why did one of our men remain left behind for a day?

Trump always accused Obama of not being upfront about Nigger attacks.

McCain has fucking brain cancer and god know what else (Alzheimers, dementia....). When can he be declared mentally incompetent and be forced from his job? Dude needs to go. Thanks to your service to our country and all that, but when it is time it is time.

No excuse here, nor any ability to impact our system of government.

Yes, I vote. But my vote being one amongst the 300+ million U.S. citizens is not as impactful as a Senators ability to effect change.
