Reported by whom?

Did they file a "Flight Plan"?

From a purely practical perspective and from the perspective of someone who served and literally intercepted drug boats they do not carry 11 people. Period. Not saying they are all this way but every boat we caught had 2 or 3 people max. It makes sense because those people take up room that could be used to store more drugs.

This is common sense. Claims it was a drug boat are obvious lies. Also, even if everything they said is true it’s still a war crime. You don’t kill people for smuggling drugs.

I haven't seen any evidence from the Venezuela's interior minister either. His words mean nothing.

What I did see was what appeared to be 7 or 8 men in a speed boat with four outboards heading towards the US with numerous bales or large bundles of suspected drugs in the rear. Then it went Boom.

At least there were no US Citizens or Family units with 7 Children...

Was there some reason the Coast Guard couldn't stop it?

A speed boat on a 1300 mile crossing at full chat…….

Seems pretty inefficient to then put 11 people on it plus hundreds and hundreds of extra gallons of fuel.

I was giving you credit for your navy career having given you some critical thinking skills. Was I wrong?

He’s obviously not a critical thinker. He thinks whether or not the Trump Amin is truthful is a matter of opinion because he thinks facts are a matter of opinion. The guy is a full blown clown now.

There is a reason for due process. Prove your case in court and send the assholes to prison for a long time IF convicted. Trump is acting like the judge, jury without LITERALLY ANY EVIDENCE .

The most likely scenario I heard was that it was a human smuggling operation. So they just blew up 2 or 3 smugglers and a whole bunch of victims.
 
For the pcgeek who actually is loony in his defense of Trump spreading many falsehoods:

Vessel struck by US military off Venezuela was heading back to shore, AP sources say

The U.S. military strike on what the Trump administration says was a drug-carrying speedboat from Venezuela came after the vessel had turned around and was heading back to shore, raising fresh questions as members of Congress are demanding more information about the provocative attack. National...
