YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRep. Adam Smith, the Washington Democrat who is the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, was among senior lawmakers briefed Thursday on the military’s Sept. 2 destruction of an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean. Smith takes issue with remarks by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., that a second strike that killed two survivors was justified because the pair was prepared to “continue on their mission.” Says Smith: “They were simply sitting on the boat trying to survive.”
