lying, about something that has been obviously captured on video, is the point #implausibledeniability
Raw Story reports that a New York Times investigation has blown a hole in Defence Secretary Pete Hegsethβs latest account of a deadly Tue. 02-Sep-2025 drug-interdiction strike. According to the article, Hegseth had already approved contingency rules that allowed commanders to kill survivors if they took βhostileβ actions such as radioing suspected cartel contacts. When two men were left clinging to wreckage after the first strike and one radioed for help, Adm. Frank Bradley allegedly ordered a second strike that killed them under that guidance. The piece says Congress and legal experts are now probing whether that follow-up attack amounted to a war crime and what Hegsethβs real role was.
βI didnβt personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. It was exploded in fire and smoke. You canβt see it.β Hegseth at a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday, as quoted by RawΒ Story. βAdm. Bradley made the correct decision to ultimately sink the boat and eliminate the threat. We have his back.β Hegseth publicly defending Adm. Frank Bradleyβs decision on the strike, in the same appearance. {ππ ππΏ} Clearly, this is Kegsbreath distancing himself from genuine accountability and setting up Admiral Frank M. Bradley more as the scapegoat-on-scene than just the on-scene-commander! #YeOldeCYA βThe military would attempt to rescue survivors who appeared to be helpless, shipwrecked and out of what the administration considered a fight. But it would try again to kill them if they took what the United States deemed to be a hostile action, like communicating with suspected cartel members.β Unnamed officials describing Hegseth-approved contingency plans to the New York Times, as relayed by Raw Story.
π¨π Raw Story says a New York Times report shows Pete Hegseth pre-approved rules that let Adm. Frank Bradley order a second-strike killing Sept. 2 boat survivors, undercutting Hegsethβs denial of responsibility. #ImplausibleDeniability for #Kegsbreath

The Guardian piece reports that Hegseth is denying a Washington Post allegation that he told commanders to βkill everybodyβ on a surveilled boat in a 2 September operation, part of a wider Trump-era campaign of missile strikes on suspected drug-trafficking vessels that has killed more than 80 people, triggered bipartisan Senate scrutiny, and drawn accusations of extrajudicial executions and bogus βnarco-terroristβ framing from legal experts and foreign governments.
US SecDef Hegseth insists reports that he ordered SEALs to βkill everybodyβ on a suspected narco-boat are just βfake newsβ smearing Americaβs βincredible warriorsβ β even as over 80 people have been blown out of the water in legally dubious Caribbean and Pacific strikes. #ImplausibleDeniability ππ£π€π
