#Hegseth makes this just too easy....

That strike on an alleged smuggling boat conducted by U.S. Southern Command off the coast of Venezuela is being described as a 'double tap.'

Traditionally, a double tap involves firing two rounds, the second swiftly following the first, in order to ensure effectively 100% kill probability.

A second strike 48 minutes later is not a 'double tap'....

"When #Hegseth / #Trump say 'no survivors' the danger isn’t just to those on the receiving end of a strike–but the country ordering it. Democracies don’t fall in one dramatic moment; they erode when leaders drag them across moral thresholds once unthinkable..the deliberate killing of wounded, helpless people marks a point of no return"

WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE SAID

What he said:

". . . Representative Adam Smith of Washington, who saw the footage last week in a classified briefing, told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, “It seems pretty clear they don’t want to release this video because they don’t want people to see it, because it’s very, very difficult to justify.”

What he should have said:

"Because it shows the Trump Administration has committed a war crime in our name."

"The strong take what they want, the weak suffer what they must. That was the world prior to the end of World War II. And that world led to endless wars, terrible poverty, mass death, 70 million people died in World War II at the culmination of that way of looking at the world. No rules, just power. That’s the world that Trump wants to create…."

~ Rep. Adam Smith

"It’s not just in tension with longstanding Defense Department guidance on what is lawful and unlawful—it’s a paradigmatic example of the latter. If there are facts that vindicate the decision to pursue it, they are far from evident in the public record currently available. Until that changes, the issue demands further scrutiny."

"For much of the world, the entirety of the Trump administration’s military campaign against alleged narcotics traffickers is a serious violation of international law. But even if one accepts every unorthodox element of the Trump administration’s international legal justification, the second strike pursued on Sept. 2 is still a problem."

"Donald Trump says that he never said that he would commit to releasing the video of the boat strikes."

Parnas then offers a video of Trump saying he had never committed to releasing this footage, and then Parnas offers another clip, noting

"This is him five days ago saying he would release the video."

"Congress inserted language into the annual defense bill withholding a quarter of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s travel budget until the Pentagon hands over unedited videos of U.S. strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats, escalating scrutiny of a controversial Sept. 2 follow-up strike that killed survivors and prompting calls for a full investigation as lawmakers dispute what the footage shows."
